    I've had a few back surgeries over the years and live with spondylosis. As of this writing, I have 2 steel rods 6 screws in the lumbar from a failed fusion and 2 more herniated disc in the cervical neck. Pain is unbearable especially in the middle of the night and especially when I wake up in the morning. I have been on 30 mg. 12 hr time delayed Oxycontin twice a day and twice a day 15 mg Oxycodone for quite a few years. No more or no less on the doseage. I have always taken them as prescribed by the Surgeon and my Primary Care Doctor. Always! I submit to random drug tests and pill counts at the hospital on a regular basis. I have always passed these drug and pill count tests. Every single one! It is the only medication that relieves about 80% of the pain which helps me lead a so called life during the day. I've faithfully been in physical therapy since 1987 and do my back stretches twice a day. You only hear about the bad stories of taking Oxy's. Never hear any good stories about them such as mine in helping with pain management. Again, i have always taken as prescribed and have always past the many drug tests and pill counts.

      Before covid, there was endless talk about the opioid epidemic, with its 89,000 deaths from people who abuse them, lots of the deaths from street Fentanyl. Barely a word about just a few deaths shy of 500,000..year after year, directly linked to cigarettes - and you can buy them in grocery stores. Wo do THEY help (Besides Big Tobacco)?

      Another thing I am learning and wish I had known about years ago is palative care? When I was working there was only hospice care. This required 5 Drs to agree to 6 months or less and anything preventive was put aside. Now it's just a wonderful thing to learn about palative care and know that it more accepted and offered to individuals at an early and sometimes initial diagnosis time. This will help someone who may not think about the details after a terminal diagnosis. I am really enjoying this channel! Thank you for your service to others!

      @@thomascoatesjr175 It's technically a morphinian compound. It's a isomer of some opioid, I wanna say levorphanol (actually it's an enatimoner of a modified ether of levorphanol) it just loses nearly all of its mu receptor activity which is where nearly all the analgesia and euphoria is mediated. Kappa receptor agonism is usually where dissociative opioids happen. That's why if you've ever heard of Demerol (pethidine/meperidine) has psychiatric side effects that most narcotics don't. It has both a toxic metabolite and a disproportionately high degree of kappa agonism.

    I dislocated my arm and broke my elbow. Once I got out of the emergency department, doctor prescribed me 100mg of tramadol to take twice a day. First time I had it, the first pill was fine, but the second pill made me extremely drowsy and I had trouble urinating despite having a full bladder. The next day, I couldn't do anything except sleep and my speech was slurred. After sticking to just the one tablet of tramadol once a day, it's been fine.That seems like to right dose for me while I'm healing from my injury. Only slightly drowsy and a bit relaxed. But most of all, my broken arm isn't causing me so much pain.

The patches had a big problem that even with an overlay they wouldn’t stick or placement made absorption quicker; thankfully my GP was licensed for Dolophine Rx and for almost 20yrs.

    Most, if not all of these meds are metabolized by the P450 cytochromes and no one will metabolize all of these perfectly. I think an individuals rate of metabolism by these enzymes should be something that pain doctors should test for. I am a ultra-rapid metabolizer for several enzymes and a ultra-slow metabolizer for a couple (that I know of myself). This makes my reaction to a particular dose of pain meds much different than another with more typical metabolism. I hope the future of pain medication will include more personalization by pharmacists and doctors given a patient’s P450 enzyme’s behaviour. Right now, a lit of people look like drug seekers when in reality they rapidly metabolize common pain medications and they need higher and more frequent dosing. Not everyone who needs more analgesia are faking or looking to get high. Everyone’s bodies are different.

They are attacking the wrong demographic. Kolodny and PROP should be put out for public stoning! There has been such an increase in suicide and illicit drug use due to chronic pain patients losing their meds and drs being too scared to prescribe opioids due to false info and threats from the DEA,FDA and ATF.

      Very true. I also metabolise at higher rates. So much so that after 4 hrs a Urine Drug Screen (UDS) will not be sensitive enough to find metabolites. This has caused issues and the need for unnecessary cost for blood tests.

    It’s great to show the order of strength as a guiding principle. It’s surprising how few people interested in medicine have experience with these common drugs, so it’s helpful. The numbers aren’t accurate and should be seen as a guideline at best. Tolerance is built up as one example and humans have individual body chemistry. Then there is the administration of the drug and bioavailability. It’s more complicated than this suggests.

Been under pain management for 14 years taking Percocet now i have been cut back to point it does little good. Not sure what i am going to end up doing only thing that works outside of Percocet is ibuprofen at high dosage but very dangerous. To get the relief it take 1600mg ibuprofen per dose or just 2 Percocet 5/325 per dose during my flare ups. Otherwise about half of that dose works for my everyday pain. But my doctor won't no longer address my flare up pain which leaves me short about 15 doses per month so now i am back almost as if pain isnt managed.

    Fentanyl is the strongest opioid analgesic you can get by prescription. You also have 2 other kinds of fentanyl used during general anesthesia. (Remi and Su). Hydrocodone and Oxycodone are just about the exact same in efficiency. Methadone is a form of the same drug but not as potent as Fentanyl. (1) Fentanyl, (2) Oxymorphone, (3) Hydromorphone, (4) Methadone, (5) Oxycodone....(2) Used to be Levo Dromoran, but it's hardly used anymore. *Fentanyl is dosed in Micrograms...not Milligrams...because of it's potency

    Codeine is much harder to assign a number to than you're making it look like, because it's inactive until a liver enzyme turns it into morphine and different people have different versions of that enzyme. In some people, the enzyme works rapidly and extensively, so codeine is effectively the same as morphine for those people. In most people, the enzyme kinda works and mostly doesn't, so they get a bit of opioid effect; this might be where your 1/10 number comes from. And then there's people who don't metabolize codeine into morphine at all, so it doesn't do anything.

    I've been dealing with chronic pain for almost twenty years now and I've been on pretty much every type of pain killer you can try. By far, and I mean by a LARGE margin, Methadone has been the most effective. I use Oxy IR's for breakthrough pain.
    I get no withdrawal effects as the time for my next dose comes up, as I did with pretty much everything else, and I stay at a pretty even pain level except for the breakthrough pain, which has been there no matter what I've been taking, but it's usually overcome by the IR's. I can miss the occasional dosages and my pain levels don't immediately spike. It's also pretty damn cheap. Methadone has been a God-send for me.
    I know it's tearing up my insides, but we're all going to die and I choose to do it with as little pain as possible.
    If you haven't tried Methadone for long-term chronic pain, maybe talk to your doctor about it and see what they say. It was actually a last-ditch effort for me but it ended up helping more than anything else I had tried.

    • @theogsmoka9624
      @theogsmoka9624 5 років тому +18

      FUCK METHADONE. Unless your dying and are never going to have a life anyways by all means methadone will dope you up for the rest of your life. I was on methadone for 17 years. In that time all I became was a bigger junkie then when I was on heroin. Methadone is nearly impossible to get off of. I got back on heroin for over a year and then I got off heroin in 3 days of withdrawal and now I'm stuck on suboxone. Methadone is like slow acting fentanyl and twice as physically addictive. I wouldn't wish methadone withdrawal on my worst enemy and I can be a real bastard. It's great for people who will never stop using heroin because you can just use your methadone to get you to your next hit without ever going into withdrawal. Maybe if you just take it for pain then this may not apply to you. I used methadone for 17 years and heroin. I will say it kept me out of prison because I was never stupid desperate enough too fuck up my FREEDOM plus I was so scared of being in prison while withdrawing from mdone. Suboxone should be the only choice for people who want a life after heroin and not tied down to a clinic and the hours of the clinics dont have hours that you could ever have a real full time job unless you work from home. There is life after heroin. Just dont think you'll ever have one on methadone. Sorry this doesn't apply to people who just use it for pain.

    After a few surgeries this year, I'm surprised to discover that fentanyl is commonly used for anesthesia. The culture is so caught up with opiate overdose deaths and the failed war on drugs, that the proper uses of these things are mostly overlooked. Companies don't manufacture these drugs to kill you, or even get you addicted (although companies have been famous for hiding the addictive aspects). They manufacture them because they are still by far the best solution to pain, particularly acute and chronic pain. If they didn't work, they wouldn't make them. Of course they get misused, but so does alcohol, the elephant in the middle of the room, as they say.

      Update over 3 years later. I was in the hospital for 6 days before I was discharged and prescribed these pills and the nurses injected me in the arm multiple times a day with the regular old morphine I'm guessing but maybe it was low doses of Fentanyl or some other powerful opioid, I have no idea what they had in those needles, I didn't care to ask because I was high as a kite on that stuff and telling the nurses how pretty they were before passing out from the drug. When they discharged me I had 5 days of Ketorolac pills and they really got me through the worst of the pain, I don't remember how many milligrams each pill was but I know they worked well and didn't make me feel high or under the influence at all because they are not a opioid. I switched to the regular off the shelf Tylenol extra strength after that and never once took a Dilaudid for my pain. Here is the part of the story where I feel like a bad person. Over a year later I was telling this guy I had just met minutes earlier about my accident and I brought up how I have 30 Dilaudid pills in my car and they are small and pink and they are 2mg each. He went on to explain that people call them Dillys on the street and they are worth big money to a junky. Long story short we crushed one of them and snorted 1mg of hydromorphone each and got really high, it felt very much like the opioid injections I got in the hospital but not powerful enough to make me fall asleep like the hospital dose did. This was the only time I ever sold drugs in my life but that dude gave me 500 in cash for those 29 pills and I only paid 60 bucks at the pharmacy. I know it was wrong and illegal to sell those pills but it taught me a lesson and that lesson is never take opioids unless you are in so much pain that you need them.

    I was a patient in a trial of buprenorphine (subutex) for pain patients who did not do well on regular Mu Agonist opiates. I tried them all short of heroin. I have suffered withdrawals upon detoxing from oxy's and morphine so I know they hell it puts one through. In the trial I was coming off a large amount of oxycodone and had to endure WD's but not for long. Once the buprenorphine entered my bloodstream, the WD's went away (heebie geebies, runs, sweats and massive leg kicking) I stayed on for a year or so then went off to see where my pain level was truly at. I stayed off a year but knew I'd most likely have to go back on due to pain. I tried the tylenol and tramadol but they only worked for a while. I did go back to bupe but have no regrets because it does work well on pain and the concern about major surgery and not being able to use regular opiates is NOT true. After hip replacement I was on a PCA of diludid and it worked in fact when the hospital finally got bupe in the pharmacy and I took it with the hydromorphone, I required less and was not whacking the PCA button ever two minutes. My hope is more pain doctors wake up to the benefits of buprenorphine

So they bumped me up to 180 a month. Then I went to Pecks at 180 a month till they quit working. Then went to 30mg Roxy's 6 times a day. So just say that my tolerance is not even on a scale. I had a kidney stone and matter or fact, it was 2 coming down at the same time and out my same kidney. The ER gave me 1mg Dilaudid through an IV and I'm not lying. As soon as that crap hit the vein it was instant. The nurse tels me not to try to get up. I looked at her and said I'm fine and I was. 2 years later I had another stone and this s at 1am in the morning. I was getting dressed in the bathroom and my wife walks in and says umm, where in the hell are you going. I turned around and she new I was crying. I said the hospital right now. She said it's going to take me a few minutes to get dressed. I simply said I'll meet you there. I'm laying on the bed and the catscan showed I had a 7 and a 1\2 mm stone. They asked me if I had a ride home. I said I sure do, my wife. They not me with 2mgs of Dilaudid in the iV. Now this time they did NOT tell me they stepped itupfrom the last time. Look people, I've been messed up before and I've been taking pain killers for 19yrs now. I was grabbing the table so hard to make sure I didn't fall off the face of the Earth. Till this day I truly believe that she overdosed me. Now I'm on 100mg fentnal patches. People these patches are nuts!!!! Thee 100mg patch only contains about 10mgs of fentnal and it will last for 72 hours. Fentnal is the strongest pain killers I have ever used. It was so bad that I told my doctor that I needed to switch back to something less. The withdrawals from that crap is ever lasting. It has messed up my tolerance and my doctor and I were talking about me getting admitted in the ER to detox. If anyone knows how bad tht is, I didn't like the idea but said ok.

  • @vahnlewis9749
    @vahnlewis9749 5 років тому +2

    Kind of simplistic. In addition to potency; there is efficacy, and duration of action, and metabolism. Opiates primarily act on the opiate receptors, but aspirin does not. The lethal toxicity of opiates is usually respiratory depression but this is not the major problem with ASA or ibuprofen.
    Opiates can differ in duration of action and metabolism. This would affect how often you take the med (an important factor in getting relief and avoiding overdose toxicity) and what drugs might interfere with the metabolism. For instance morphine is metabolized by different mechanisms than fentanyl or codeine so just knowing its potency is not enough to predict how long analgesia will last.
    Meperidine and fentanyl are short duration agents and both have drug interactions with grapefruit juice. Morphine is considered a prototype but many other opiates are not metabolized in the body the same way so not great for predicting duration of effect for many opiates. As noted in the video it is more potent when injected directly into the blood. Not mentioned in the video; methadone, and opiate drugs like it, have longer durations of action than morphine. Methadone also interactounds s with grapefruit juice. Codeine and Tramadol are not really fully potent until the patient's metabolism converts them to more active comp. A mistake is to dose codeine and tramadol at the same frequency. Tramadol actually has a significantly longer duration of action than codeine. So when I was being treated in a fancy hospital with a famous name I was unconscious for 12 hours after surgery because they switched tramadol (in response to the fuss about using opiates, which doctors had been using with good results for many years) is a longer acting drug. However, you can't totally blame the the doctors for this one because the FDA in their desire to help industry market tramadol quickly, didn't require new time course studies. Oops.
    The discussion of NSAIDs (=Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug) was incomplete. Aspirin and Ibuprofen are not opiates and act by entirely separate mechanisms which effects such things as maximum efficacy from single administration. For instance NSAIDs agents demonstrate "ceiling effects", that is to say that the analgesia may not increase when larger doses are administered, while opiate analgesia is more dose related. (Acetaminophen is a bunny, not really like anything else, but at high doses shares some toxicity with the NSAIDs.)
    Many pain medications are combinations of these analgesics and if miss used can show toxicity associated with either. During the same period that there was a concern that too much opiates were being used, there was also a concern of increased toxicity due to NSAID's and acetaminophen. This could relate to not understanding the pharmacology of these different types of agents. Since tolerance develops to opiate analgesia with repeated use but not to NSAID analgesia, there is a temptation to increase the number of tablets being given, which eventually leads to NSAID toxicity.
    My point is: even if you know equipotencies, you could be a long way from being able to manage someones pain control.

    I use medical marijuana orally, because hydrocodone had no effect on me. I did not want to take addictive pain killers. I had a splintered spine complicated with back spasms. The pain was intense. The medical marijuana I make is very potent. I have had IV morphine before for a kidney stone. My medical marijuana is similar in strength but is not addictive. My last batch of marijuana brownies is so strong. One tablespoon of brownie is one dose. I have a high resistance to the effects of marijuana. The only drawback to medical marijuana is consistency of dosages. The edible medical marijuana you can buy had no effect on me. So I made my own after doing a lot of research. The first time I tried it. I could not walk or crawl. I simply could not feel my body. They could have operated on me. Since then I am more cautious about dosage.

      Tylenol #1, Tylenol #2, and tramadol with acetaminophen (Ultracet) should be OTC in my opinion. However, with the opioid crisis here in the U.S. that will never happen at the moment or ever really. Before dextromethorphan codeine was widely available for cough OTC. Even before that in the 1930s-1960s amphetamines were available over the counter. L-methamphetamine is available over the counter today, but it's not as psychoactive as D-methamphetamine and its availability seems to go unnoticed. Either way in Central and South America and certain other parts of the world including Mexico for example, tramadol is available over the counter in alone formulations in 50mg and 100mg tablets, concentrated drops, liquids, as a combination with naproxen, aspirin, paracetamol/APAP/acetaminophen (commonly known as Tylenol in the US), and even injectables (I.M./I.V.) of tramadol known as Tramal in 50mg/ml formulations.

It took 4-6 weeks. At the risk of grossing out, but, every pore of my body secreted. I ended up wearing Depends. BUT, I made it to the otherside against my doctor’s wishes. I went down from 155 lbs to 129 lbs. I was totally alone. Still, I realized that Opiate Addiction is REAL. Once off of it, my doctor prescribed Lyrica and guess what 90% of my pain has dissipated. So were the pain killers masking truth. I tend to believe so. I don’t preach because I own that I have an addictive personality. My friend asked me if I would ever do it again. I said NO.

    a little confused? So Tramadol is 1/10 the strength of hydrocodone but you didn't mention the milligrams of either. So my doctor prescribed 50mg Tramadol. m in the middle column is that hydrocodone 1000 mg 500 or 7:50?

    I been on it all I'm on fentanyl and oxi atm , I used to be on opana( oxymporphone ) as well, my dr. doesn't consider tramadol a pain med, the bioavailability for hydromorphone is only 40% orally cause I was on the 8's and they did nothing for me bioavailability is very important as well

      Oral morphine bioavailability is low but 21% is exaggerated,its around 30-35%

      Wikipedia data said 71% anal bioavailability.

    Suppose I have an abscess or something that makes my jaw hurt bad. What can I expect a dentist to proscribe or recommend? Back before the overdose scandals, they’d give maybe a dozen hydrocodone pills. Well, usually some multiple of four because the pills are six hour pain relief.
