Narcotic Question
<div class="IPBDescription">Allergies n stuff.</div> If I took Oxycotton/Oxycodone and vomited, would it be safe to take Hydromorphone? I'm assuming I was allergic to the percoset, and since morphine is an opiut just as percoset is, I might be alergic to both. Which would be bad.
Hydromorphone:
Hydromorphone (Dilaudid®) is marketed in tablets (2, 4, and 8 mg), rectal Suppositories, oral solutions, and injectable formulations. All products are in Schedule II of the CSA. Its analgesic potency is from two to eight times that of morphine, but it is shorter acting and produces more sedation than morphine. Much sought after by narcotic addicts, hydromorphone is usually obtained by the abuser through fraudulent prescriptions or theft. The tablets are often dissolved and injected as a substitute for heroin.
Oxycodone:
Oxycodone is a central nervous system depressant. Oxycodone's action appears to work through stimulating the opioid receptors found in the central nervous system that activate responses ranging from analgesia to respiratory depression to euphoria. People who take the drug repeatedly can develop a tolerance or resistance to the drug's effects. Thus, a cancer patient can take a dose of oxycodone on a regular basis that would be fatal in a person never exposed to oxycodone or another opioid. Most individuals who abuse oxycodone seek to gain the euphoric effects, mitigate pain, and avoid withdrawal symptoms associated with oxycodone or heroin abstinence.
Oxycodone has a high abuse potential and is prescribed for moderate to high pain relief associated with injuries, bursitis, dislocation, fractures, neuralgia, arthritis, and lower back and cancer pain. It is also used postoperatively and for pain relief after childbirth. OxyContin, Percocet, Percodan, and Tylox are trade name oxycodone products.
OxyContin is designed to be swallowed whole; however, abusers ingest the drug in a variety of ways. OxyContin abusers often chew the tablets or crush the tablets and snort the powder. Because oxycodone is water soluble, crushed tablets can be dissolved in water and the solution injected. The latter two methods lead to the rapid release and absorption of oxycodone.

Agreed. It's not wrong to ask on a forum like this, but I would certainly consider it wrong for taking answers seriously and actually doing like suggested... Go talk to a professional. For your sake. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
EDIT: Ironically, my own post negates itself. *sigh*
Of course you're not, but any viewer with a lick of sense wouldn't touch this with a 10 foot pole.
drugs = bad
alcohol /= drug
And if it kills you, you won't have to worry about it any more.

Dude...we're trying to help you. And the best advice you should take is to not take medical advice from someone on a gaming forum. Talk to a doctor.
Probably not many.
I'm going with the 'Consult your doctor' bandwagon here.
And I quote....
