How does tramadol compare to hydrocodone?
This is my personal experience. Pain is a subjective phenomenon. Tramadol was absolutely useless to me as a pain reliever. There was no difference with me whether or not I took Tramadol. On the other hand hydrocodone is a powerful and effective pain med. Ten miligrams is the minimum needed to reduce my severe joint pain the result of a failed knee replacement.Tramadol has warnings of potential central nervous system disorders, and other side effects that rival any other medicine on the market. Just look at the professional description on drugs.com. Compare that to the relatively safe opiod. My opinion is the biggest risk of opioids are the tylenol often mixed with them.One good thing about tramadol. For some reason it is a great tool for stopping opioids. The ‘hankering’ for a fix is wiped out.

Anyone know what zolpidem is made from.?
actually, most drugs come from a labratory. ambien (zolpidem tartrate) is a non-benzodiazepine hypnotic of the imidazopyridine class. chemically, zolpidem is N,N,6-trimethyl-2-p-tolylimidazo[1,2-a] pyridine-3-acetamide L-(+)-tartrate (2:1). zolpidem tartrate is a white to off-white crystalline powder that is sparingly soluble in water, alcohol, and propylene glycol. it has a molecular weight of 764.88. there is actually no such thing as a class c controlled substance in america. zolpidem falls in pregnancy category C, which means that it is not known whether it will effect the fetus. pregnant women are advised to only take category C medications if the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks to the fetus. zolpidem is a schedule IV medication, which means that it has little potential for abuse. a doctor can prescribe the drug and an additional 5 refills. a doctor can also orally prescribe this medication (call it in from his office). schedule IV medications are the least strictly monitored of all scheduled drugs. the government is not preventing you from obtaining zolpidem. it is one of the most popular drugs in america, with a quarter of a million prescriptions written in the last year alone. when you do get a prescription for zolpidem, you are allowed significantly more than one at a time. in fact an overwhelming majority of prescriptions are written for thirty pills. there are plenty of alternatives that the government doesn't control that are actually far superior to zolpidem. obtaining those, however, are a matter of knowing the right person,or of being in the right place at the right time. i hope this clears up any confusion.

Please let me know if you have any more questions.
What are the risks of taking Flexeril and hydrocodone at the same time?
Terrible idea. Muscle relaxer + painkiller. Double whammy. Make sure that if you must and take them for your back(guess) or some pain try and have someone a co worker wife friend neighbor administer it to you. Addictive. Youll be wasted and not in a good way. Won’t be able to get up and go do anything. If you’re doing this for recreation: Don’t be a fool, nothing good can come of this as an addiction. Your life would go nowhere and slowly kill you.
How safe is it to take tizanidine and hydrocodone together?
I currently take both. Hydrocodone 5mg four times a day and tizanidine 8mg at bedtime for muscle spasms. The tizanidine makes me drowsy, even though I have taken it for about 3 years. It doesn’t suppress your breathing, like hydrocodone does. As long as your hydrocodone is at a low dose, you should be fine. You won’t notice breathing suppression, you will just stop breathing and die. So, taking something that makes you sleep and something that supresss your breathing isn’t a good combination.When I go to the doctor, they check my oxygen. I’m normally at 98% with 5mg of hydrocodone. Last month, I took 2 tablets before my doctor appointment and my O2 sats dropped to 95%. Hydrocodone isn’t even that strong of a narcotic, but my oxygen still dropped by 3%. So make sure you keep your dose low.
Zolpidem causing vomiting?
I too have thrown up after taken ambien. But, I have also been using Ambien for 2-3 yrs and it has only started happening recently. Because you are so new to ambien, I would suggest taking it about 15 minutes before getting into bed. The wasted feeling you got is normal. When I first started taking it, I had the same reaction. Your body gets used to it after being on it for a couple of weeks, so you shouldn't get the out of it experience. I would suggest either looking at the ambien website or any medical site that has information on the drug and just read up on it. I found this site and it has some helpful information. It does list vomiting as a possible side effect. http://www.drugs.com/ambien.html I don't know if this helps you, but hopefully it does. Good Luck and Sleep Well
Does ambien or zolpidem show up as opiate or barbituate on a drug test?
Zolpidem is an imidazopyridine. It is not tested for in a standard urinalysis, but it might cause a false positive for benzodiazepine (xanax, clonazepam, et al)
