On the urine test why would the mg be higher than what you took?

The urine test is measured in nanograms. Not milligrams.

For example, benzoylecgonine is the main metabolite of cocaine. A urine level of 300 nanograms per millilitre of benzoylecgonine is considered a positive result for cocaine use in most countries.


Saying that, it also depends on the user's tolerance for drugs, which differs in each person. if you have a low tolerance for example, then drugs you took days ago may still show up today in a urine test, making the results much higher.
Like alcohol, you drink one night, then the next morning you could still be over the legal limit because your body hasn't broken it down yet.


Some medications contain traces of some drugs that are looked out for in urine tests. For example, morphine and some psychotherapy drugs contain MDMA, which is found in ecstasy. If you are taking prescribed drugs, you should let your drug tester know, providing proof. If you take certain prescribed medication, it could elevate the urine result.


Pregnancy was once believed to cause false or high positives in drug tests, but this was proved to be a myth. The chemicals produced in pregnancy do not interfere with drug tests.

What if Oxycontin shows in a drug test and you haven't taken any?

This is how it works in the agency I work for. If a client has serious questions about a test result, we have a conference call with the lab. The client can talk with the lab techicians and pharmacist. There are sometimes follow-up tests that can be done if results are questionable. Usually, disputes and questions can be cleared up this way. Being with a person who is using certain drugs may cause some of that drug to get into your system. If you haven't, talk with your counselor about making contact with the lab; I would think this is standard procedure in most places.

Can you mic Oxycontin and Vicodin together?

Oxycontin (oxycodone) is just a stronger version of Vicodin (hydrocodone), so yes, you can mix them together. Just be very careful not to take too much and overdose.

For faster relief can I chew a 10mg Oxycontin tablet if I'm somewhat tolerant?

Chewing a 10mg Oxycontin tablet will destroy the time release mechanism and you will get all 10mg at once. This is no the way the pill is supposed to be used and doing this is considered abuse and is illegal.

From a health perspective, 10mg is not a high dose to receive at once, especially if you have a tolerance. With that said, chewing the 10mg tablet will provide faster acting and stronger pain relief, but will not last as long as taking the pill whole.

IF you need fast pain relief, talk to your doctor, he will most likely prescribe you emergency pain tablets for breakthrough. I have these, I'm on 80mg Oxycontin tabs, one a day, and I also have 15mg instant release roxicodone tabs for breakthrough pain.

Is Mexico scarce of medicine?

Yes and no: public health institutions don't have enough medicines to fulfill the demand because they are offered freely to people who needs them; on the other hand, private hospitals have all drugs needed, but many of them are very expensive (such as AIDS or cancer treatments) and people on the lower economic spectrum can't afford them.

Is Oxycodone 15 mg IMM rel same as oxycotton?

No. What you have is immediate release oxycodone. Oxycontin is no different of a substance. The only difference is that Oxycontin is a brand name of the drug, and is controlled released. The generic name for Oxycontin is oxycodone HCL the HCL (hydrochloride) means it releases the medicine slowly into your system over a span of usually 12 hours. That is why people snort, or inject oxycodone as opposed to taking it orally like you are supposed to, so that all the medicine is released into your system.

Difference between Oxycodin and Oxycotin?

oxycodin is either a misspelling for oxycodone or Oxycontin.

Oxycontin is pure oxycodone into a pill, with inert binders. It is the name of the pill.

Oxycodone is the name of the chemical in the pill.

Technically they are the same thing...

"Technically they are the same thing..."

>>>Not really true. Oxycodone is the drug itself, yes. Oxycontin is a time-release version of the medication. If you look at two medications, one oxycodone and one Oxycontin, then you are looking at an immediate-release pill and a time-release pill. Be very careful with these drugs. Taking too many can make you very, very sick, and Oxycontin should NEVER be crushed or broken.

Is it safe to take 30mg morphine sulfate you took a 30 mg Oxycontin before and it was to strong?

If you took any pain killer and it was too strong do not take any more medication the same day. Check with your physician before taking any prescription medication. Just because the milligrams are the same does not mean the drugs are equivalent to each other and have the same therapeutic affect in the body.

Why do you feel more high on suboxone than Oxycontin?

Well, it is obviously different for you than it is most people. I have been taking Suboxone for a year, and I certainly do not get high from it. I am at 8 mg per day. I never feel high from it. I don't know anyone who feels high from Suboxone.

The first day I took it I felt good, but I am pretty sure that is only because I was in withdrawal before I took it and it got me well.........it definitely did not feel anything like Oxy's.

So, all I can say to you is enjoy it........LOL! I am a little jealous, actually.....(I know that's sick, but it's the nature of the beast I guess).

What percent of oxycodone 1-325mg tab is oxycodone?

usually the 325 means the amount of acetaminophen or ibuprofen in it.. you will never have a pill 325 mg of oxycodone.. the amount of oxycodone is usually the lower number for example... 5-325 is 5 mg oxy and 325 of acetaminophen and 7.5/325 is 7.5 oxy and 325 acetaminophen and sooo on.. 5/325... 7.5/325..10/325..

Will taking vitiams help with the withdrawals from coming off of Oxycontin?

Vitamins will certainly help with the malnutrition you usually get if you've been abusing drugs. It won't really help the shakiness, nausea, diarrhea, etc - your doctor can give you some medicine to help, and can help you cut down on the Oxycontin every day in a safer fashion so that you don't have so many withdrawal symptoms! Good luck with the healthy new lifestyle!

Why does Oxycontin cause shallow breathing and is that dangerous does it cause migraines as well?

Answer:

Oxycontin is an extended release form of oxycodone, which is a synthetic opiate. It is a narcotic used to relieve pain.

Opiates act as a depressant on the system, which includes slowing down a person's respiration rate. When a person overdoses on a narcotic, death is usually caused by difficulty breathing.

When oxycontin is taken as prescribed (and if a person does not have an adverse reaction), it is not dangerous.

When people take oxycontin incorrectly (ie, crushing, snorting, etc) or add additional substances which are also depressants (alcohol, anti-anxiety medications such as Ativan or Xanax, other opiates such as Vicodin), those people are engaging in dangerous, and possibly life-threatening, behavior.

Sometimes people can have headaches after having been on opiates called rebound headaches. Rebound headaches are not migraines.

Can a doctor see patients while on morphine and oxycodone?

As the Adminstrator for a Medical practice I will tell you the LEGAL answer and then the PRACTICAL Answer:

LEGAL ANSWER:

So long as the Physician avows that his or her judgment is clear and un-impaired, he or she can, in many states and jurisdictions, continue to practice medicine and examine patients.

PRACTICAL ANSWER:

If you KNOW your Physician is taking morphine, a morphine-like drug or OxyCodone type drugs because he or she TOLD you-- consider the fact that the Doctor TOLD you of his/her own free will. And if they told WHY or for what they are taking the drug and you are comfortable with the reason (ie: pain releif from pain from cancer) then decide for yourself whether you continue to trust this person and whether you still feel comfortable with this person.

If you KNOW your physician is taking drugs of ANY kind and they did nOT tell you, but you see CLEAR evidence of impairment or unsettling behavior, then you should worry about Impaired Judgment. And if there is a risk of impaired judgment or the doctor's behavior makes you uncomfortable, trust your gut feeling and seek another physician and request your records to the new practice.
