What's the difference between morphine and heroine?

You should google this one, but here's an interesting part \nfrom: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heroin \n\nManufacturing\n\nHeroin is produced for the black market through opium refinement processes. Unlike drugs such as LSD, the production of which requires considerable expertise in chemistry and access to constituents which are now tightly controlled, the refinement of the first three grades of heroin from opium is a relatively simple process requiring only moderate technical know-how and common chemicals. The final grade of heroin favored in the west is more difficult to produce and involves a potentially dangerous chemical procedure.\n\nFirst morphine is isolated from the crude opium (through being dissolved in water, reacted with lime fertilizer such that it precipates out, and then reacted again with ammonia; what is left is then mechanically filtered to yield a final product of morphine weighing about 90% less than the original quantity of opium). The morphine is reacted with acetic anhydride — a chemical also used in the production of aspirin — in the complicated five-step process used by most refineries in the Golden Triangle. The first step is to cook the morphine at 85°C (185°F) for six hours with an equivalent weight of acetic anhydride. In the second, a treatment of water and hydrochloric acid then purifies the product moderately. When the chemists add sodium carbonate, the particulates settle. Step four involves the heroin being heated in a mixture of alcohol and activated charcoal until the alcohol evaporates. The fifth step is optional, as it only changes the heroin into a finer white powder, more easily injectable; this so-called "no. 4 heroin" is principally exported to the Western markets. In this last, most dangerous step, the heroin (after being dissolved in alchohol), precipates out in tiny white flakes when a mixture of ether and hydrochloric acid is injected; this step is dangerous due to the fact that ether may explode, leveling or severely damaging the refinery (as has happened to a number of such facilities).\n\nThe purity of the extracted morphine determines in large part the quality of the resulting heroin. Most black market heroin is highly impure due to contaminants left after refinement of opium into morphine which then remain in the final product; even if the final product is in the upper range of purity (80 - 99% pure), when the final product reaches the addict, it typically has been cut multiple times, and its purity is down to less than 5%.

schedule 1 drugs are pills like percocet and morphine, oxycontin etc.  These would definetly not be perscribed for any psychotherapy treatment. These pills are only for accute pain and mostly perscribed for cancer or terminal illness patients.

Present your physician's license to your pharmacist.  A medical doctor is the only person who has any business possessing that drug.  It's a controlled drug, in fact, just like cocaine and morphine.  And it's nothing to f**k around with, if you're thinking of using it as a date-rape drug.  It's administered via intravenous injection, and guess what: the patient immediately STOPS BREATHING!  Can you say "murder conviction?"

It depends on the painkillers actually. Most painkillers work on the nervous system and an overdose shuts down the systm... you go into a blacckout and enter into a stage of comatose. If you survive its because you made it to the hospital in time to have your stomach pumped.

hard to believe they are not draining water from her. I would suggest a new doctor.\nCan she live? Why would she want to?\nWould you want to, under these circumstances?\n\nIf she is on morphine....this is the last effort.\nI hate to tell you this. but. Once you start morphine, you can NOT stop it. The doctors already know her outcome. Thats why she is on it.\n\nI truely am sorry.

Well, taking any medication while pregnant is risky.  Being that morphine is a drug adminitered in hospitals only, talk to the doctor that gave it to you about your concerns.

Methadone is a synthetic analgesic similar to Morphine.  It works very well for pain relief...most people think of methadone as a medication given to heroin addicts to relieve symptoms of detoxification from heroin.  I took Methadone as a PRN with Oxycontin,  but it gave me really bad headache so I had to switch to another PRN narcotic.. If it helps and the doctor has prescribed it for pain use it as directed.  Hope this helps.  Pain is a horrible thing to live with I sincerely hope the operation is a success.

I tried REIKI. I went from wanting small doses of morphine to not needing anything at all. There are no guarantees with anything and don't EVER give up your regular treatments, but I don't thnk REIKI will hurt and its worth a try. I have inflamatory osteo arthritis and fibromyalgia.

It's the glucuronide at the 6 position of morphine.  A link is attached so you can see the final product.  Good Luck :-)

As it takes over, your whole body starts to shut down.  Blood pressure drops.  There are so many complications that can occur that it's hard to say, as each case is different. Many times if pain is unbearable Morphine will be given and that helps a lot and keeps the patient calmer.

check the spelling. MS contin is a narcotic form of morphine, that is the only thing I can think of

my best conversations with my mom were when she was doped up on morphine after surgery.  you'll probably get more interesting.

Well, they both sound pretty similar. But the main differences are that drug addiction is mostly mental...its when someone believes they "need" something to feel a certain way. Drug dependancy is a physical addiction, when your body is used to having a certain substance and can act out of whack when you stop taking it...just take it easy...stop taking your medication on a weekend so you can lay in bed and ride it out...you should feel better within a week.. sorry you are going through this.

Meth is a much, much stronger drug than cocaine. They both excite the nervous system. Meth is just more powerful

Yes, it's way stronger than morphine and much, much stronger than percocet because percocet is tylenol with a bit of an opioid (morphine-like) drug in it. Hydromorphone is an opioid. I would say it is more addictive because there is more opioid in it than percocet and because it is a stronger opioid, and that is what makes you feel high, as well as relieving pain. If you are worried about becoming addicted, relax, less than 1% of people get addicted to painkillers. You might experience some dependence, where your body feels funny if you stop suddenly, in which case the doc would wean you off the drug. That isn't addiction. Addiction is when you crave the drug and need it psychologically to function. Whew, long answer.

I knew a Heroine addict, she recovered after 30yrs of abuse. She is still recovering through a Methadone Clinic, she attends meetings 2x a week.  I don't think anyone really recovers, I think you grow stronger from getting beat down to the ground so many times, at least that's what happened to my friend--after having lost everything, including her morals she found Jesus, and found a better way to deal with her recovery.\n\nTough Love is the best thing for drug abusers.  Don't be mad, just practice tough love, if he comes around, with some half-baked scheme to get money--SHUT HIM DOWN immediately.  My girlfriend, ended up getting caught shop lifting after everyone stoped lending her money.\n\nGood luck...*!*...

Jesus provided an example when He mentioned that Cavid ate the shewbread meant for the priest. He and the disciples picked corn on the Sabbath.A relative had a baby that developed in her fallopian tube and as it grew it threatened the life of the mother.Something went wrong anyhow and a choice had to be made- mother or baby. Another person had a son who got his head jammed in a chair.He was brain damaged and doctors told her to decide whether to pull the tubes or not.They did; and he died.Morphine is a dangerous drug, but to a cancer patient in pain, the danger, side effects etc. are minimal. Many dead heroes/heroines failed to 'cooperate' during a robbery. The robber got the money and  took the person's life.Walk a mile in shoes that pinch and some people will choose before they complete the mile.There is a best (or better if there are but two choices)decision but right or wrong may be opinion in some situations
