Question 5

Accepted Answer

Narcotics: Oxymorphone and hydromorphome (dilaudid) are both narcotics.  They are different substances in the same narcotic class.  They are both used for moderate to severe pain.

Question 6

what is oxymorphone made from? also would it show up on toxicology?

Accepted Answer

Metabolite: This is a byproduct (metabolite) of oxycodone and is also the active opioid in a medication called opana.  This will show up on a tox screen.  This medication should only be taken by rx.  Discuss your concerns with the doc who wrote the rx for you.

Question 7

i'm allergic to morphine, so will i be allergic to oxymorphone medications also?

Accepted Answer

Opiate allergies?: It depends. Alot of folks claim to be allergic to various medications, when in fact, they have side effects. Since we do not know what your reaction was to Morphine, it's kinda hard to predict what you might experience with other drugs. My advice is to try and avoid taking Opiates on a regular basis, as you may become dependent and then have withdrawal symptoms when you don't take the Opiates.

Question 8

how much stronger is the oxymorphone than oxycodone?

Accepted Answer

3 times stronger: 10 mg of Oxymorphone is equal to about 30mg of oxycodone.

Question 9

how long does oxymorphone stay in your urine test?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Depends how long you have been using it and how much.  Trying to avoid a positive drug test?  Are you getting these prescribed or buying on the street?

Question 10

i inject 40mg's of oxymorphone 3 times a day. why wont a detox center take me?

Accepted Answer

Beats me: However, the success rate of detox is extremely low, unless it is followed by a strong support program, and ideally a formal residential treatment program. Some make it with detox and na, but most people do better with a maintenance therapy. See if there are Buprenorphine and/or Methadone providers in your area. There is nothing life-threatening about opiate withdrawal, and inpt is not necessary.
