oxycodone vs oxycotton

oh and morphine PHOSPHATE or HCL are the pill forms... when taken wrongly they can produce desired effects but if taken IV or orally in right dose.... it is not one of the more addicting opiates... its the purest form of itself besides heroin..... because once morphine enters your body it IS heroin after breakdown. and is any of the rest of that info false? the answer is no. I am a college grad and youre probably in high school living with mom. youve done the drugs.... you were probably the bottom of the barrel but that doesnt make you educated on what it is you put yourself with to feel better about your probably shitty ass life.

much respect, jazzman. I overstepped and "made shit up" as my wife calls it.

Anyone who has come out the other side knows the true gig. I was fortunate my doc freaked on me...and although I would have rather he HELPED me kick and supported my mmj usage...I am glad things came full-circle. I started with the herb and I've returned to the herb.

I wish you well

good luck

jazzman tussionex hc is codeine with promenthazine most of the time.... or some other kind of drug that controls nausea..... and quit it with the attitude. are you coming down now or what? i happen to be very educated about this so why dont you search it? I have degrees in both chemistry and biochemistry.... i am also an opiate user.... who the fuck are you? some low income jackass sitting on his comp pretending like he knows about this....

Ganzy - Apparently those degrees didn't help bro. I'm not exactly sure how I offended you... maybe you're a junkie in denial? I'm afraid you're wrong, again. And, just out of curiosity, what the fuck does income have to do with opiate addiction? I'm a recovered opiate addict, and simply speaking the truth. I've been clean for a LONG, long time, thanks to God alone. I'm glad you're proud of your degrees, all 2 of them, but it doesn't seem to have helped you. I'm finishing my masters in Jazz performance. My knowledge comes from simple experience.

Again, this is your second post with bad info. I don't need to search bro. There is NO CODEINE IN TUSSIONEX. Try again. And Tussionex, as I said, contains an antihistamine. Has nothing to do with NAUSEA. At what point did I attack YOU? You've set yourself up to be made an ASS of. My posts were about CONCERN for people enjoying the same shit that took a great toll on me. The more important question at this point, is Who the fuck are YOU? I think I very clearly explained my attitude. You, however, have not. Even worse, you don't seem to know shit. I DO. And I know these things because they fucked up my life. EXPLAIN YOURSELF. OR SHUT THE FUCK UP UNTIL YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

Holy shit bro. Now I know you're an idiot. In high school? Living with Mom? Your apparent education has apparently NOT helped you. Every word that you've posted is laughable, and just plain wrong. If I DID live with mommy, and WAS in high school, WHAT THE FUCK WOULD IT HAVE TO DO WITH MY EXPERIENCE WITH ADDICTION? You have NO clue what the fuck you're talking about. You're talking directly out of your ASS. I'm glad you graduated. Wonderful. Who the fuck cares? You brought this on yourself by being such a prick, and that DESPITE THAT FACT THAT YOUR APPARENT EDUCATION HASN'T HELPED YOU. I'm afraid you're the one who sounds like an immature child. My life, thank God, is prett sweet, now that my opiate experience is OVER. That experience is something I would never wish on anyone, even a dumb ass like yourself. Have you ever even tried morphine? Are you stupid? Is that a statement that you want people to even believe? God forbid someone actually listens to your crazy immature educated ass.

Ganzy, again, you asked for this. I explained my passionate attitude as best I could. GO GET A CLUE, GET SOME LIFE EXPERIENCE, AND PLEASE DON'T POST YOUR FUCKED UP INFO UNTIL YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. STOP THE IMMATURE RANTS, AND LOW BLOWS. YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ME. I, HOWEVER, NOW KNOW QUITE A BIT ABOUT YOU. AS DO ALL THE PEOPLE READING YOUR ABSURD POSTS.

haha Okay, there are a few alkaloids that are refined from opium in places like turkey and hungary and shitty places around there.... the important ones are codeine, morphine and then theres thebaine. now, codeine is used for mild pain relief and also when you have a cough.... we all know the syrup those rappers go on about and we all love it too.... tussionex haha. Morphine is the safest drug ever cause its not as euphoric and shit but it kills pain pretty damn good. Then theres thebaine...... the one used in the production of oxycodone. some may argue this but its a fact.... there is common misconceptions of what opiates we digest because once in us, it breaks down into things like hydromorphine and shit like that... so people assume thats what we're eating. not true. the answer to what the difference between oxycodone and oxycodone ER (extended release) has been answered.... they just put wax in to slow the metabolism down. Oxycontin is the name Purdue pharm. gave to their oxycodone ER pill. posters are right when they say not to fuck with this.... Its better than you could ever expect so it fucks you so hard in the end.

Forgot about your first incredibly intelligent post. Again with the tussionex, huh? You want ME to search? And that whole "morphine is the safest..." thing, how's that workin' out for ya? Get a clue. Get a refund for those degrees. And stop being such a little bitch. If I offend you, tell me like a fucking adult. If you take issue with something I've said, again, tell me like a MAN, not a fucking child with no brain, who has to resort to "You live with your MOM. You're in HIGH SCHOOL"

Peace to everyone else. Be careful. BTDT, what up man. Who is this freak?
BOY, that really hurt. So ORIGINAL, too.

Just thought I would add that Ive had 3 friends, one which was very close to me die from fucking oxycotton. The shit can easily kill you if your not careful. All three of them went to sleep because they were "tired". Their hearts stopped beating in their sleep and they died.

Just thought I would tell you guys, hopefully your careful with the stuff.

Each teaspoonful (5 mL) of TUSSIONEX® contains hydrocodone polistirex equivalent to 10 mg hydrocodone bitartrate and chlorpheniramine polistirex equivalent to 8 mg chlorpheniramine maleate.

Thats from the tussionex website.... maybe theyre lying? This isnt an allergy medicine... its used for coughs. Codeine is a very successful cough suppressant. It causes nausea so companies put in things like promenthazine and shit like that to get rid of those effects. Generic versoins are available but they all contain codeine. Im not going to come on this site to argue with you but I have one question for you, do you see any successful, rich business men banging OC or base?

To sit here and actually argue with me on a growing info website and reat the way you are reacting right now gives me a little more insight on exactly who the fuck Im speaking with. I know your kind, and to be honest youre just a bunch of rats.... know it alls who have been through hell and back (according to them) being an addict. Now that youve come out which Is good and Im glad you escaped the grasp of addiction, doesnt mean you know really what it is youre talking about.... If that was the case the junkies you see in the city would be experts. I may have gotten too personal and I apoligize, but I bet Im not extemely far off. And please it makes you look so foolish to call me an idiot about this when CLEARLY im right... take 30 seconds to google tussionex and youll see that. and to the morphine thing... its addicting but if it is as addicting as you say.. people with broken arms that attend the hospital every day would be then hooked, we would all be junkies.... thats not how it is so obviously the reason its used in medicine is because it is so safe and one of the less addiciting opiates... I didnt say not addicting at all just one of the less addicting opiates. I hope this ends now because I really think you need to educate yourself a bit more before you start arguing with a person who has a degree in this and spends his life daily studying things like this.

Our kind? Wow...thanks so much Ganzy. I guess you musta skipped the chapter in yer big book of knowledge entitled "Compassion for Others"..huh?

To me, minimizing *any* opiate use is foolish and fails to illustrate a deep knowledge and understanding of the substance. Maybe you have scads of "book learning"...but it is apparent your real life experiences are extremely limited...if not non-existent.

In the end the specific chemical makeup of these drugs means so very little in the realm of addiction. Your comment about morphine is exactly like saying that ya can't become an alcoholic if you only drink beer.

In the end, alcohol is alcohol no matter what flavor it comes in.

In the end, if it originates from the poppy the addiction potential is huge.

but hey..if ya wanna believe otherwise and be a fool...that's yer call.

I'm opiate free...so at this point...it's all water under the bridge for me and I'm out of this conversation and on to better things.

be safe all.

Once again, Ganzy, you're making a fool of yourself. You attacked me, remember? And you didn't get "personal", you got stupid. And immature. And NO, they're not lying, you're just an IDIOT. You claim to have a degree, yet you don't know the difference between CODEINE and HYDROCODONE? Even after you had to go to their fucking website?? I'll say it again, there is NO CODEINE IN TUSSIONEX. You haven't been arguing, Ganzy baby, you've simply been WRONG. And again you feel the need to attack me personally. Did you even read the quote you posted? You've backed up the fact that you're talking out of your ASS, and that I was indeed correct. I never said that Tussionex was an allergy medicine. I simply stated that it contains an antihistamine. DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS? I can't believe I have to waste my time correcting you. Didn't you say you have a degree? Are you retarded? I've attacked you for your half-assed information, and have yet to stoop to your level with your personal half-assed attacks. Did you even read that part about "chlorpheniramine"??????? There is also NO ANTI-NAUSEA agent in Tussionex. Your degree should've taught you that, if not your own damn quote.

I have NO clue what you mean by your last question. I don't bang OC, but I am succesful, and relatively rich. And I am ONLY that by God's GRACE. I'm not sure what that has to do with anything. And how did base come up? More of your insecure, angry, rambling, inaccurate nonsense? And yes, Ganzy, many, many, MANY people, in all walks of life, and all income levels, pop/bang/snort/smoke whatever opiate they can get their hands on. It's called addiction. Are you an addict? I am as well. I've been clean for a long time; is that what bothers you? Or is it something else? Please let me know; you haven't made much sense thus far. Your education should have taught you the difference between Codeine, and a semi-synthetic opiate like Hydrocodone. Your whole pissed off immature argument, personal attacks and all, is based from a stupid, confused mistake. One that you, with those degrees you love so much, should NEVER have made. I know nothing about chemistry. I'm a successful jazz and classical musician, and teacher. I run my own recording studio. My knowledge comes from a disgusting experience which you seem to resent somehow... Now, onto your next fact filled and mature post...

Ganzy, I truly feel sorry for you. You've made a fool of yourself already, and to keep insisting that your ass backwards info is correct, well, you simply continue to do so. To resort to meaningless and childish name calling speaks volumes about your character, as well as your so called education. Your logic concerning morphine is astonishingly intelligent. You seem to know as little about addiction as you do about opiates. Educate myself? Believe me, I have. You have a degree in "THIS" ?? You've spent your life studying the chemical makeup of Tussionex? Incredible. You were wrong before, and you're wrong now. Is that so hard to come to terms with? If you're struggling with an addiction, as I did for many years, don't hesitate to reach out. Just stop with the vacant and immature attacks, as well as the hateful generalizations about addicts. I'd be happy to have an adult conversation with you. There's no reason to have such anger towards me. I've explained what I was, and what I am. You have not. You began this absurd back and forth with your inane comments. I look forward to you posting again; just be honest about WHAT you are, WHO you are, and WHAT YOU KNOW.

I received a degree in Biochemistry at the University of Texas, and I dont think that I was given a wrongful education at a reputable university...I dont see how you can possibly argue with what I posted off of the company's website? I really just don't understand how theres even an arguement here? I'm stating facts. I realize that some people have different opinions about how dangerous morphine is, but in my opinion it is very safe when used correctly. I'd be interested to hear some one disagree with anything I've said in my posts cause I havent met one educated person that disagrees with me yet.

Enough man. PLEASE. Stop wasting my time. Did you bother to even read my previous posts? This is absurd. You have a degree in biochemistry. That's wonderful - be proud. But to not know the difference between Codeine and Hydrocodone, as the chemist you claim to be, is somewhat silly. As I said, in my previous 18 posts, there is NO CODEINE IN TUSSIONEX. THERE IS NO ANTI-NAUSEA drug either. This is not a semantic argument; you're just incorrect. You keep referring to what you posted from their website, but you either haven't read it, or are indeed as uneducated as you keep insisting that I am. Hydrocodone/Antihistamine. End of story.

As far as morphine being "safe when used correctly"... umm... Yeah, Ganzy. You're correct for once. In fact, there a very few opiates that are LESS safe than morphine "when used correctly". Perhaps Dilaudid and Fentanyl. ANY other legal opiate, WHEN USED CORRECTLY, would be SAFER THAN FUCKING MORPHINE. Biochemist or not, you know very little about opiate addiction. Your whole "hospital visit" scenario was laughable and ridiculous. Morphine addiction not being of epidemic proportions, as OC, AND Vicodin, etc., has NOTHING TO DO WITH MORPHINE BEING SAFE. OR LESS ADDICTIVE. It is a simple matter of AVAILABILITY. Enough said. Now GO AWAY. Or, continue to make a fool of yourself. Just stop encouraging people to try the NEW SAFE, and LESS ADDICTIVE OPIATE: MORPHINE. "I went to the hospital. I got some morphine. I didn't become an addict... I guess that's because it's relatively safe! WOOHOO!!! THAT CODEINE STUFF IS EVIL, AND ADDICTIVE... LET'S GO BANG SOME MORPHINE! GANZY INSISTS THAT IT'S SAFE, AND HE'S A BIOCHEMIST! HE DOESN'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT TUSSIONEX, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO MORPHINE, ......

I didnt realize this was going to turn into a chemistry class but the only difference between hydrocodone and codeine is that one is a natural dirivitave of opium and one is synthetic.... the effects and chemical makeup are almost identical. I quoted the ingredients in tussionex..... one being Chlorpheniramine "CHLORPHENIRAMINE; CODEINE is a long-acting liquid medicine used to treat cough that may occur with throat irritation or the common cold, and symptoms of hay fever or allergies such as runny nose, sneezing, itching of the nose or throat, or itchy watery eyes. Generic Chlorpheniramine; Codeine extended-release suspension is not available." Now to the uneducated eye, this may have not appreared to be codeine, but .... unfortunately for you it is. Now if you want me to further prove you wrong I will... I have suffered with chronic pain for a while now and I can tell you I am very happy my doc is open with giving me pain meds... I see how one with little self control could become addcited, but that doesnt make it dangerous. Views vary... I respect yours. I have no problem discussing the moral and addiction level parts of our convo but please dont sit there and try to prove me wrong about the chemical side to this.... I really do know what I am talking about when it comes to that. I have studied it for long hours. Peace.

Click to expand...

Hey Ganzy baby! Glad to hear from you; glad you calmed down, too. Do you remember this post? This is where I took issue with you, and your knowledge. I'm not sure what your last post meant, to be honest. I've been clear in my posts since this started, and simply corrected you, and called you out for your immature, and unfounded, personal attacks.

Tussionex does not contain any Codeine. Nor does it contain "promenthazine". Or any other drug that controls nausea. Hydrocodone is indeed different from codeine, and I pointed that out very clearly. Hydrocodone is NOT synthetic, like fentanyl, or methadone, as you must know as a chemist. It is semi-synthetic.

I actually look forward to gaining some knowledge from you. But you, in turn, must do the same, with respect. You posted some very wrong info - I corrected you. That should've been the end of it. I'm going to read your last post again, to try to make some sense of it. After that, let's move on.

the chemical i prevously stated is what is contained in tussionex..... the ingredient is essencially codeine.... if something is altered from its natural state it is then synthetic... it cant be both. Codeine is a direct natural derivitave. hydrocodone is the altered version of codeine. when i said tussionex i was speaking of the general cough syrups used in medicine. companies use different alkaloids in them... i have seen both codeine and hydrocodone used, many times with promenthazine. as you know opiates cause nausea. i dont know of antihistamines used ever in these for they are used soley for cough suppression. Bottom line is that the brand tussionex carries codeine in one of their lines of cough suppressants and the many other companies that produce this product all use different things.... mainly containing hydrocodone and codeine along with other various chemicals... all the companies vary.

another thing jazzman, I dont feel the need to actually go into the chemical structure of these things, for I feel it is uneccesary... on this site i think its perfectly okay to be somewhat vauge when it comes to this.... we dont need to be so specific it sparks arguements between a chemist and a recovered addict that otherwise would get along great im sure.... I wasnt detailed with comments I made and i will continue to not be because theres really no point to go into such great detail. the point I was getting across was that a codeine like substance was in cough suppresants and not oxycodone like was previously thought earlier in the post by others. I was just trying to make a connection to codeine that some others may know which is "lean" or tussionex or whatever generic brand name. people drink it alot medically and recreationally. Theres no need to go any more into the chemical side of any of this I believe a SCIENTIST has cleared this up.... As for the attacks that came about im sorry it wont happen again I myself was on an opiate and was somewhat aggrivated because of the after effects one gets. I'm sure youll understand.

Ganzy! Baby! Thanks for the apology man, I appreciate that. In light of your explanation, however, it wasn't even necessary; I understand more than you know. BUT......

As an educated human being, and certainly as a chemist, you seem to be confusing inaccuracy with lack of specificity... Indeed, you seem to be defending - and excusing - your inaccuracy by claiming that you were simply being vague. I don't think I buy that, but if that's the honest truth, well... fair enough.
Please be specific in the future. More importantly, be accurate.

if something is altered from its natural state it is then synthetic

Click to expand...

(wrong)... it cant be both (yeah, uhh, wrong).

Click to expand...

(umm, yes, it can. lol at you)

Wrong. Not vague, not lacking specificity, just wrong. Are you really a chemist? Hydrocodone, as you said, is an altered form of a natural opiate. Therefore, it is SEMI-SYNTHETIC. A chemist should know this! That is the inherent difference which you seem so willing to ignore. NO scientist would refer to HYDROCODONE as Codeine, or vice-versa. Nor would most people who've EVER taken a vicodin, or a Tylenol 3/4.

when i said tussionex i was speaking of the general cough syrups used in medicine. companies use different alkaloids in them... i have seen both codeine and hydrocodone used, many times with promenthazine. as you know opiates cause nausea. i dont know of antihistamines used ever in these

(wrong, Ganzy baby!) for they are used soley for cough suppression (wrong again! yikes). Bottom line is that the brand tussionex carries codeine in one of their lines of cough

suppressants

Wrong again.
Tussionex is not a general term, my chemist friend. It is a brand name for a cough syrup which contains - generic or not - Hydrocodone and an ANTIHISTAMINE. And NO, it is not soley (SP) for "cough suppression". Wrong again. And again, it contains NO PROMENTHAZINE. No formulations with hydrocodone DO. That's the point: It's HYDROCODONE, NOT CODEINE. It is a SEMI-SYNTHETIC opiate, created to be much more potent than codeine, mg for mg, and to cause nausea in a much lower percentage of people.

Look forward to hearing from you!

I am quoting now, Jazzman, from Wikipedia.... these are the uses "
As sedative/hypnotic
For preoperative sedation and to counteract postnarcotic nausea
Together with codeine or dextromethorphan against cough
It can be used to increase the activity of opioids. It allows lower opioid doses and decreases their emetic properties.
As a motion sickness or seasickness when used with Ephedrine or Pseudoephedrine.
As an antipruritic (pruritus vulvae).
To combat moderate to severe morning sickness and hyperemesis gravidarum."

Now Jazzman you are really getting in the glue.... I used a brand name when referring to this "mixture" and I suppose I apoligize for that? I didnt realzie how specific I had to be when all I was doing was getting a point across. If you were to look up "Lean" in a place like wikipedia you would find this:
"Lean is an illegal recreational drink popular in the hip-hop community of the Southern United States. Its main ingredients are prescription-strength cough syrup containing codeine and promethazine.[1]"

Now Jazzman, I believe I was speaking about Lean originally before you came and decided you were going to try and fight that with what little knowledge you have. I wasnt being scientific, I was using the "slang" terminology that I believed was appropriate for the context i used it in. Yes, Promenthazine can be used as an antihistanmine, BUT the actual use has nothing to do with that since there is many other more effective alternatives. People also have varying opinions about the synthetic vs natural drugs. I myself have the liberty to view this in black and white.... If its altered its synthetic.... period. Now who ever may read this can also have their opinion... in my career whether or not a chemical is labeled synthetic or not has not changed anything. You are just a know it all Jazzman who apparently, doesnt know to much when it comes to this. I am offended you would challenge the fact that I am a chemist because I take pride in my work. You can think what youd like jazzman it doesnt effect me at all.... youve amused me so far with your confident ways and your factual knowledge when in reality you just a bullshitter. Now, Im almost sorry I had to make you look like such a fool.

Ganzy! You're all upset again! What happened?

I have no idea what LEAN is. I don't care; I never referred to it, and neither did you. Your pride and your anger seems to have gotten the best of you. Again, NO, you weren't talking about LEAN, or any other cough medicines. You referred specifically to TUSSIONEX. Just read your own posts. You never had a point. You simply were wrong, and I corrected you. We wouldn't be here if you had simply owned up to a silly mistake, which neither you or I truly care about.

Should I remind you of your last post? You were wrong about so many things, it's astonishing. Are you currently using? Or abusing? I believe your judgement, not to mention your brain, has been clouded.

I'm not sure why you posted that info on promethazine...? You're rambling. And making no sense. If you're a chemist, as you claim to be, you never should have referred to Tussionex as a drug containing Codeine and promethazine, as it contains NEITHER. Are you in such a haze that you don't realize that? It was the basis of our "argument". I never said anything about LEAN, or any other cough syrup. Nor did I refer to anything containing Codeine, or promethazine.

i

dont know of antihistamines used ever in these for they are used soley for cough suppression.

Tussionex = Hydrocodone and Antihistamine. Were you wrong? Or perhaps just being vague? Or was that slang?

Bottom line is that the brand tussionex carries codeine in one of their lines of cough suppressants

Click to expand...

No, Ganzy, it does not. There is no brand of "TUSSIONEX" that contains codeine. Certainly not an anti-emetic. Your education should have taught you that; with Hydrocodone it's simply not necessary. Being a semi-synthetic opiate that was created in an attempt to make a more potent form of it's natural cousin, which would not cause as many adverse reactions, namely, nausea. Not to mention the many people who are allergic to codeine: many can safely consume hydrocodone.

the chemical i prevously stated is what is contained in tussionex..... the ingredient is essencially codeine....

Click to expand...

No, Hydrocodone is not ESSENCIALLY(sp) Codeine. Are you a chemist or not? Stop using your so called "SLANG" for the benefit of all the uneducated here. It is a very different drug, despite the fact that it is derived from Codeine. Your education should have taught you that. If codeine was in fact ESSENCIALLY hydrocodone, the absurd amount of addicts across the country would ESSENCIALLY be popping Tylenol 3, not Vicodin. And Codein would essenTially be one of the MOST prescribed and abused drug in the country, not vicodin. And YOU, would essencially, be RIGHT.

Is Codeine essentially Opium? Or is it essentially Morphine? Both of which it is obtained from.....

People also have varying opinions about the synthetic vs natural drugs. I myself have the liberty to view this in black and white.... If its altered its synthetic.... period. Now who ever may read this can also have their opinion...

No, Ganzy. No. I'm sorry, but there is no opinion at issue here. You have the liberty to be WRONG. And incredibly stubborn. Codeine is a classified as a naturally occurring opiate. Do you actually KNOW THAT? Or are you simply unwilling to admit it, as it would hurt your ego? Hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opiate, as it was synthesized FROM a naturally occurring opiate. That is not my OPINION, it is a simple fact. Ganzy, I'm NOT enjoying this. If it makes you feel better to believe the delusion that your are somehow
making a fool of me, well, more power to you. Fantasy can be FUN! So you insist that you're a chemist: wonderful. This, however, is simple pharmacology; there are no opinions to be considered here. When an opiate is synthesized without extraction from a naturally occurring opiate, it is then a true synthetic opiod. Fentanyl, Methadone, etc...

Let's be sure to keep this going Ganzy baby! I'm slowly, but surely, beginning to ENJOY being made such a fool of.
