Resolved Question: Why isn’t hydrocodone prescribed in the UK?
Filed under: Methadone Treatment
In my profession I treat many different kinds of pain all of the time, and pain is a huge spectrum. But here’s the thing – I have never, nor have any of my colleagues (most of them didn’t even know what it was!) prescribe hydrocodone, in any formulations, here in the UK. I consulted certain sources, and know it’s a Class A drug, but is it a Schedule 1 or 2 CD? I’ve scripted and/or seen scripted oxycodone, fentanyl, morphine, codeine, dihydrocodeine, tramadol, buprenorphine, dextropropoxyphene, hydromorphone (once) and methadone – but never hydrocodone. The reason I ask this, is I know it’s a very popular and commonly used analgesic in the U.S., commonly combined with paracetamol in 2.5/500, 5/500, 7.5/500 and 10/500 / 10/300 etc. and also in syrup form with cough suppressants etc. But why isn’t it used here in the UK? I’m aware of the risks of dependency and addiction, but those risks apply just as equally, if not more so, to the other potent opioid agonists I listed. It’s clearly an efficacious analgesic, so why on earth haven’t we adopted here? It would make a nice intermediary between weak painkillers such as tramadol or codeine and then far stronger compounds like morphine or fentanyl. We certainly have a gap there that needs to be filled, and the hydrocodone/paracetamol combo would seem to be spot on. MalMonroe – Class A drug? Almost every strong painkiller we prescribe is a Class A drug you buffoon. The Misuse of Drugs Act classifications only apply if you DON’T have a prescription. The side effects and the fact that it’s an ‘opiate’ (Opioid actually, a semi-synthetic one) has nothing to do with it. We prescribe opioids and drugs with far far worse side effects all of the time. And as for saying paracetamol and ibuprofen ‘are find for you’ is just ignorant. I treat patients with scoliosis and agonising pain. If you ever get nerve damage, slipped vertebrae, broken arms, shingles – we’ll see how well you cope with ‘ibuprofen and paracetamol” then.

Resolved Question: Does methadone prolong heroin withdrawal?
Filed under: Methadone Treatment
A friend of mine is quitting his heroin habit and he is using methadone to make the first 3 days of withdrawal tolerable. I’m wondering, since methadone is also an opiate, if methadone will simply prolong the withdrawal of heroin. Read the question and understand it before you spurt out useless advice. Sigh… Obviously you didn’t read the additional details. Please, just answer the question. No one is asking you anything else, Retard Nurse Lisa Morgan.
