What does morphine come up as on ua results for probation?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

it comes up as an opiate i work in a doctors office AND recently got off probation and it will show up for an opiate. Then they will do further testing to find out exactly what opiate it is. Then they will kno it's morphine. Oxycontin only stays in your system for 24hrs but i am thinkin morphine is like 72 hours (3 days). I"m looking right now for myself

Does using peroxide or mouthwash beat a saliva drug test?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I don't know about peroxide or mouthwash? What I have used in the past is listerine strips. Put one under your tongue and a couple in surrounding areas of your mouth. This has worked everytime. They are very easy tests to pass. Good luck :)

How long after taking 16 mgs of suboxone can you feel opiates?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I would say you would need to firstly wait until withdrawal effects have started (if you are addicted to opiates), or you need to wait until the opiate is "out of your system" (if you simply use opiates recreationally and are not addicted). If you take Suboxone whilst under the influence of opiates (ie, heroin, methadone...etc) then you will encounter what's called "precipitated withdrawals". This is particularly nasty, and feels much, much worse than the usual withdrawal symptoms.

Although I allude to the opiate being "out of your system" above, that does not necessarily mean it need to be completely out of your bloodstream... to put it simply, you just need to make sure you are no longer under the influence of opiates. For example, if you take heroin on a Monday, it will still be in your system by the Thursday, but you would be ok to take the suboxone on the Tuesday as you wouldn't be drug induced by then. (NB; the previous example will not apply to methadone, which has a much larger half-life and can keep you drug induced for nearly 48hours).

Basically just use your judgment - only use the suboxone when you feel sober

Can you mix methadone with other opiates?

Asked by Wiki User

Amphetamines, especially when taken in large doses, affect the heart's action. And over-doing it with opiates affects brain neuro-chemistry to the negative.

However, there is no evidence that mixing the 2 substances as prescribed will have any serious negative effects on the human body or brain, as long as the physician(s) prescribing the drugs are aware that you will be taking both at the same time. Always be sure all prescribing professionals know what other drugs you take when you get a new prescription. You can get very good information from your pharmacist about drug interactions by asking to consult with the pharmacist when you pick up your prescriptions (it is a vital part of their jobs).

If you have hypertension or another heart condition, or your brain chemistry is being altered with other medications or current conditions, you should also be sure your doctor and pharmacist are aware of those conditions before taking the new prescription.

Can you fail a drug test for opiates just by touching heroin?

Asked by Wiki User

Seriously? If it's not actually in your system, then it's impossible for it to come up. Especially since most drug tests are taken with urine samples.

What can you do to lessen itching from opiates?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you are itching (particularly if it is accompanied by hives), you may be having an allergic reaction. Stop taking the medication immediately and talk to your doctor. In the meantime, oral diphenhydramine (Benadryl) will relieve the itching (25 to 50 mg or 1 to 2 tablets is the adult dose). It will make you sleepy, so stick around home after you take it. If you begin have difficulty breathing, swollen tongue or lips, or feel as if you will faint, get to an emergency room or call 911. For many people, itching is as far as it will go; HOWEVER, you cannot determine this alone - you must talk to your doctor (with a true allergic reaction, repeated exposure has the potential to become more serious - ie, next time it might be the breathing symptoms); most likely, your doctor will prescribe a different medication. Hope this helps!

How long after taking an opiate blocker before you can get high again?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You will probably always be sensitive to opiates because that's the way your brain has been conditioned. Like any addiction, to opiates or alcohol or nicotine, the brain's neural receptors will always be ready to want and accept the particular substance they've been "trained" to need. Opiate blockers, like Anabuse for alcohol, doesn't alter your brain's and body's physiological reactions to the substance, they are just artificial deterrents that have no effect on behavior or the treatment of the underlying causes of opiate/alcohol dependence.

Does a urine test show which opiates you have taken or does it just show that there are opiates in your system?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, but it depends on the test. Cheap tests usually just say if there are any drugs that this country considers illegal at this time, Other more expensive tests will tell which type of opiate, lidocane, cocaine, novacaine, pot, THC content etc.., and to what degree of concentration in your urine.

Can you split a 200 mg morphine in half?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You only take morphine if your doctor has prescribed it, and then exactly as prescribed. Morphine is extremely dangerous and WILL kill you if you take it wrong. I've lost several patients to morphine overdose, so don't play around with it.

Ranitidine is not an opiate. Ranitide is an antacid. Opiates are pain killers. so I would have to say no.

NO. Venlafaxine is in no way related to Opium. It is an anti-depressant and is not at all considered an opiate.

Does Percocet give an opiate positive drug screen?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

no there is a special test that has to be run for oxycodone

hats the dumbest thing i ever heard of course oxys show up as opiates.

Actually, don't answer if you don't know what you are talking about. I am on a methadone clinic which tests urine constantly. I don't know if you are being sarcastic or not. Oxycontin shows up as oxycodone. If you have a script for oxy and and use heroin you cannot get over. Even though it is an opiate it metabolizes

into its own category. So it is an opiate but on the test our clinic uses it further breaks it into its own category (oxycodone).

Can you overdose from opiates and die?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes. several way from bad choices made after you get hooked.

And end up using IV drugs and mixing them you can OD or get a infection that could kill you and then theirs the illness's that go along with such as Aids/Hiv or Hep C subdural hiematoma

Also a drug deal gone bad. Robbery trying to get more money to feed your habit.

Opiate's take control of your whole life so fast you wont know your hooked befor it's to late'

And make you do things you would never ever think of doing.

Unless you can take them for a real reason as Perscribed given to you bye your Doctor to control your pain.

Believe me I know Ive been down both roads Im lucky I don't have aids hiv or Hep But I half to take class A nartocits 3 x a day because of a auto wreck I now am leaking spinal fluid it causes sever Mygrains and its not worth it I would rather have my life back. Now my life has turned into a living HELL and Im not kidding. If you have a choice don't take them unless you half to.

Opiate abuse has killed some of the kids I grew up with its a ugly way to die. Jerry Garcia died from trying to get clean and his body couldn't take it.

Its not easy getting off the drug but if your hooked I pray you can get clean.
