Question 1

trazadone 350 mg, dilaudid 4 mg, vicadin 6 pills in 24 hour period. how can i counteract that?

Accepted Answer

You can't unless: there is an overdose, in which case naloxone (narcan®) can reverse the effects of the opioids (hydromorphone and hydrocodone).  If you are feeling loggy or a little sedated, it will wear off in a few hours.  If all this is prescribed to you and is making you feel that way, you are on too much and need to discuss with the prescriber. If not prescribed, you need to get help with what may be problem.

Question 2

is 20mg of dilaudid a lot?

Accepted Answer

Yes: That is a very large amount of dilaudid. Dilaudid is a powerful narcotic and opioid naive patients will normally start around 1-2 mg. I am not sure why you are asking, but please do not take this large of a dose and if you have and you do not normally take opioids, please have someone take you to the er. Otherwise, a 20mg dose at once should be avoided. I hope this answer helps.

Question 3

how strong is a 2mg of dilaudid?

Accepted Answer

Depends: In someone who is not used to opioids this can be a strong medication.  It is indicated for moderate to severe pain.  Dilaudid is about 4 times stronger than morphine.

Question 4

is taking 2 4mg dilaudid the same as 1, 8mg dilaudid?

Accepted Answer

YES: however, this is a potent narcotic and is not usually used for a tooth extraction. I would recommend the lowest possible dose ( 4mg) or call the prescribing dentist and request a safer pain medication.

Question 5

is there something like dilaudid but extended release?

Accepted Answer

Exalgo: Exalgo is an extended release form of hydromorphone/Dilaudid.

Question 6

how easy is it to become addicted on 16mg of dilaudid?

Accepted Answer

Any dose: You can get addicted or tolerant at any dose. It's not the dose of the drug, but how often you take it, your predisposition to it and length of time you're on it.

Question 7

is it possible to turn a dilaudid pill into a nonaddictive form?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Don't use it except a few times a week.  Physical dependence occurs in almost everybody after frequent exposure to certain medicines.  Addiction is a psychiatric diagnosis based on a pattern of behaviors that develop after to exposure to meds that usually cause a " change, of state" in the mind.

Question 8

can you recomend an alternative to dilaudid what drug would you use instead of dilaudid and what strength

Accepted Answer

Tylenol, (acetaminophen) : Tylenol, (acetaminophen) Ibuprofen are over the counter. Only the rare patient needs something like Dilaudid as an outpatient. Fentanyl is another highly addictive, but very potent drug that can be used, as is Methadone or long acting morphine.

Question 9

how do i know if i've taken too many pills (dilaudid)and need medical help? i don't need2b told about mental health.

Accepted Answer

The question: Take it as prescribed by your doctor. By asking this question is how you know you need medical help. Lorazepam is also listed as one of your medications. Combination of the the two should be monitored by your prescribing doctor (if you have one) and not on the internet. You won't need to be told about mental health once you experience anoxic brain injury. Sorry for being harsh but its your life.

Question 10

is morphine or dilaudid stronger?

Accepted Answer

Potency?: It depends on the amount of each.  Dilaudid is more potent on a milligram to milligram basis.
