Chemical substances in the nervous system that are similar in structure and action to opiates and are involved in pain control, pleasure, and memory are called endorphins. They act as natural painkillers by binding to opioid receptors in the brain and spinal cord, helping to reduce pain sensations and promote feelings of well-being.
What are the strongest opiates that can be self administered?
Duragesic Patches (Fentanyl Transdermal patches) and either Demerol, Percocet, MS Contin, Morphine, and other similar Schedule 2 opiates. I personally use Duragesic, Percocet, Demerol and MS Contin, and have for almost 9 years.
How opiate is been administered?
There are several ways an opiate may be introduced into a patient's body:
The most common way is by ingestion, usually by swallowing a tablet or a capsule, but sometimes an aqueous solution of the opiate is drunk.
Some opiates enter a patient's bloodstream by being absorbed from a patch worn on the skin. This type of administration is called transdermal absorption.
There is another, albeit very similar, way an opiate, is absorbed through an outer layer of cells and into the bloodstream. In this second way, an opiate is absorbed through the nose, cheeks, gums, and, to a lesser degree, the roof of the mouth. The outer layers of these places are mucous membranes, therefore this way of getting an opiate into the blood is called transmucosal absorption.
The quickest method is intravenously (IV), a method normally reserved for patients in hospitals or clinics.
Opiates may be administered by injection, either subcutaneously (just under the skin), or intramuscularly (directly into the muscle).

hydrocodone is a pretty strong painkiller. combining it with another anti inflammatory drug like naproxen (aleve) or a muscle relaxer like carisoprodol (soma) can sometimes have a great effect on people who are dealing with headaches and muscle pain. do not take more Tylenol with the hydrocodone because this can be damaging to the liver. if this fails, he should talk to his doctor about trying a different medicine.

How do you make loperamide fat-soluble so it can penetrate the BBB?
To enhance the fat solubility of loperamide and facilitate its penetration across the blood-brain barrier (BBB), you can modify its chemical structure by introducing lipophilic groups or altering existing functional groups to reduce polarity. Techniques such as prodrug formulation, where loperamide is converted into a more lipophilic derivative that can be easily absorbed, can also be employed. Additionally, utilizing drug delivery systems like nanoparticles or liposomes can aid in increasing its bioavailability in the central nervous system. However, caution is necessary, as altering loperamide's solubility may also affect its therapeutic profile and safety.
What makes my MSIR so fast acting when other drugs require about 30 minutes?
Morphine Sulfate IR is immediate-release and reaches peak plasma levels, when taken by mouth, in about 30 minutes. Other medications reach this peak level in various amounts of time. 30 minutes is about average for immediate-release medications. Many drugs used for chronic pain are now in extended-release form so they would require much longer amounts of time to reach peak levels.

Tramadol aka Ultram and other names, is no where near the strenght of a lortab or Oxycontin. Lortab, percocets, Oxycontin, are all narcotic pain relievers. There is not one gram of narcotic in a tramadol. You could take a whole bottle of tramadol (not advised) and it would not equal anywhere close to the same strength, feeling, or relief of a lortab or any of the other narcotic pain relievers.
