differentiating opiates

[Cornburglar]

Hi,

I have a friend... no really... this isn't for me... really...LOL:o

Anyways, this friend is on 10mg hydro PRN for pain due to a car accident he had a week or so ago. He's banged up pretty bad and although he sustained no serious injuries, he's really hobbled and in yards and yards of pain. He's also enrolled in an 8 week program for alcohol/drug evaluation due to a DWI he got like 3 years ago. He can't fail or he'll have to start all over and he's whiz quizzed weekly. I gave him a few pods citing that they would very likely help him with his pain and that he had good reason to believe that if whiz quizzed while on his temporary hydro Rx ( the counselor knows about the hydro showing up in test and reason for Rx so hes free to take them) that the pods would be mistaken for the approved hydro.

Any reason to think that this would not be the case?

Scuse me if I'm not wording right... I'm high as a kite!:D Nice cuppa tonight.

CB,

That is not the case! Hydro is a semi-synthetic and is broken down differently then morphine/codeine etc. I know from experience having tried the same approach on a piss test. I said that I had taken hydro for migraines and the test determined that it was not hydro but opium. If he said he had taken codeine it would be better then saying he took hydro as codeine breaks down into morphine. It all depends on how specific the test is. That is what I worry about is that some of these tests for legal problems are pretty specific. I hope that your friend's test goes okay.

I'd not worry about it and just think of a good story about why he took the "old opiates laying around the house". Trows of pain at night?
