Does Dilaudid and vicodin shown as opiate in urine?

No, hydromorphone hydrochloride breaks down into morphine and to it subsequent metabolites. Vicodine metabolites and antibodies are slightly different. Unfortunatly those differences are within the existing sciences capabilities to detect.

Does Dilaudid and norco show up in same category of urinalysis test?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, Hydromorphone (Dilaudid) does not show up in the basic opiate test which is part of the standard drug test. The opiate tests look for morphine (which both codeine and heroin break down into). Hydromorphone does not break down into morphine. But also hydromorphone can be detected with a simple drug test.

What is stronger 4mg of Dilaudid or 30mg of oxycodone?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Generally speaking, hydromorphone, brand name dilaudid amongst others, is in fact stronger mg to mg than oxycodone (on theory), especially as hydromorphone is said to be 6-8 times the strength of morphine. But with that high a dose of oxycodone, I'd say the oxy would be stronger given its at such a high mg. However, if the hydromorphone was at a higher level say 10-20 mg, or even 4-6 mg IV push, the hydromorphone would definitely trump that oxy. But remember, each person is different and some people react better to certain drugs as opposed to others, regardless of FDA conversion strength equivalency ratios.

What could cause a drug test to be positive for Dilaudid?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Not a 100% sure but the only thing I did differently than normal, and the messed up part is that they are prescribed that way is that I took 2 at one time. But I am on Oxy

30 IR every 4 to 6 as needed and 2 60 Morphine ER every 12hr and apparently I tested positive for dilaudid.

My Dr sent me a letter saying I tested positive and that he would not take care of me anymore and that I should ween my way off of the pain pills, like the pain has gone away? I so would get off of these things if I could but the pain is so intense that without the pills I don't want to live. So what the hell am I suppose to do? Blah Blah Blah... I hope this answers your question.

I believe that the morphine was the problem because I normally take 1 every 6 hrs.

What is the equivalent dosage of morphine sulphate tincture to 4 mg Dilaudid?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

30 mg of Morphine IR is equal to approximately 8 mg of Diluadid, so there is about a 4mg morphine to 1 mg of dilaudid ratio. So 45 mg of morphine would be equal to 5.6 mg of dilaudid. To answer your question, 45 mg of Morphine IR would stronger than taking the 4 mg of dilaudid.

short answer no, Oxycontin will show in high levels as Oxycodone, Dilaudid will show as Dilaudid or Hydromorphone, or in cheaper tests morphine.

How long after taking suboxone can you take a Dilaudid?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You will want to wait a good 8 hrs. Dilaudid has a higher binding affinity than do most other opiates, and if enough is taken then you can essentially "override" the suboxone. Think of them as magnets; dilaudis's magnetic charge is almost as strong as Bupe's,mso if you multiply that charge by 3 or 4 times, you will likely be able to override the Bupe!

What will Dilaudid show up as on a mouth swab drug test?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

NO!! Not unless it is specifically testing for HYDROMORPHONE it WILL NOT. I have yet to see a urine test that test for it (im sure they have one somewhere) but from parole to drug court to employment i have never seen it. The only time i have is at a Dr. who had to check it off on a sheet by itself to be tested for at the lab. I am not a pharmacy specialist and have not taking this from any other site. This is from my own experiences of being tested in almost any field. Please ignore anyone who says it will show up on a 5, 7, 9, or 12 panel test because it does not.

Can you take Dilaudid and oxycodone together?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, however it won't do much good so pay attention to the following caveats:

1) If you take the suboxone BEFORE the oxy, then you won't get much, if anything out of the oxy since the suboxone is already hanging on to the receptor in your brain. Buprenorphine, the active ingredient in suboxone, is VERY competitive for the receptor. That being said...

2) If you take the suboxone less than 24 hours AFTER the oxy, prepare yourself for HELL. I have done this accidentally and it causes precipitate withdrawals. What happens is that the Suboxone knocks t Oxy he off your receptor very quickly, causing you to go into some nasty withdrawals. If you have done this by accident, however, don't worry too much. You'll suffer vomiting for about 30 minutes and then about a day's worth of sweating, but you should be ok. Check with your prescriber.
Suboxone has a pain blocker in it so it would not do you ant good to take the oxycodone with it, not only would you not feel it but it could possibly send you into withdrawals.

How long do Dilaudid with drawls last?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Withdrawal periods and intensity from short acting opiates like Dilaudid (hydromorphone hydrocloride) depend on individual body chemistry, dose and duration of use, as well as other factors. But if you have been using a significant dose for months or more... the acute withdrawal upon stopping cold turkey will generally last about a week, peaking somewhere around days 2-4. Following acute withdrawal will be from weeks to months of increased lethargy until your system fully normalizes. Withdrawal symptoms can be minimized if you are able to slowly taper off the drug.
