Question 1

hello i just had a video appointment with a doctor who said she would try to prescribe me codeine syrup for my cough, but instead she tried to get me hydrocodone syrup which is schedule 4 and not allowed. can i get prescribed codeine syrup?

Accepted Answer

Safe to take.: Hydrocodone is as good as codeine  or even better to help stop your coughing.  You can safely use it for a short period of time like about a week without any problem. It might cause some drowsiness.

Question 2

i've get severe 10/10 period  pains for the past couple of months prescribed codeine and mefenemic acid dont work. i recently found out my uterus is retroverted on an mri. possible endometriosis?

Accepted Answer

Possible: The only way to make a definitive diagnosis would be with a laparoscopy. There are some medicines that in essence put you in temporary menopause and could help if the pain is due to menopause. Hope this helps.

Question 3

i am prescribed suboxone, clonidine, ibuprofen 600, methocarbynol trying to get custody of my kids and i took a drug test for dcyf and she said it was positive for codeine would these cause a false positive for codeine? i told her no way?

Accepted Answer

: Many common meds can cause a false positive for Opiates. these include: Dextromethorphan (cough syrup), Diphenhydramine (benadryl), Doxylamine (sleep aids), Tramadol (Ultram- pain reliever), Quietapine (seroquel- antidepressant), Levofloxacin/Ofloxacin (antibiotics). Your next step should be to have a confirmatory blood test which is more specific for each med.

Question 4

how much codeine would i need to get a killer high?

Accepted Answer

Killer is the word: This is a terrible goal! The risks of a lethal overdose are greater than the chances of having a great time. Never misuse Rx drugs w/out knowing that you are doing a foolish thing. I guess there are no totally safe ways to get high but there are better ones than this. Take yourself and your wellbeing seriously - consider some counseling. You deserve a better chance at a good life!
