Oxycodone is almost the same thing as hydrocodone. Oxy is made with oil, while hydro with water. Oxy is the better pain killer, but as far as detoxing safely, why detox and start the same drug?

Is it safe to detox from hydrocodone and start oxycodone?
if your detox process does not include any medications such as methadone or suboxone or another opiate you should be safe, although I don't necessarily see the point in detoxing from one opiate, only to start using another.
Can you take oxycodone to get off hydrocodone?
It may help with the withdrawls yes, but hten you are going to be addicted to the pain pill so it's best just to go to the hospital and have them detox you in the ER and go home and tough it out as bad as it seems!! Good luck friend!

What is it callled when removing a drug from the body system?

Will methadone help hydromorphone withdrawl symptoms?
I see these questions alot, but they just do not make any sense to me. If you are trying to get off an opiate, why would you take another opiate? The answer is NO. There is a reason why they give methadone at clinics to get off opiates and not hydrocodone and oxycodone. Oxycodone and hydrocodone half a much shorter half-life than methadone, therefore you need MORE of it to get similar effects. What makes methadone a great tool for opiate recovery is that it lasts so long and because the euphoric effects are much less than hydrocodone. Therefore you can take much less and manage it much more easily at a lower cost. If you take hydrocodone to lesson your methadone withdrawal, then you are only building a tolerance for hydrocodone that will cause withdrawal symptoms as well. Again, why would you take a drug for withdrawal symptoms that cause withdrawal itself? Methadone is the best choice for opiate detox. If you are experiencing withdrawal serious enough to make you think about taking another opiate you are either 1., not ready to detox, or 2., are not being decreased properly by your doctor or clinic manager. The normal decrease rate for methadone is 1-2mg a WEEK. Yes, it's slow, but very effective and will have little to no withdrawal symptoms. This is all from personal experience.
Can a detox diet safely help shed pounds?
Deetox diets do work and they are safe. They range from three days to twenty one days. Some of the detox diets are in the form of capsules, while others are more fruit/vegetable based. If you are still breast feeding, don't use the capsule detox diet. Talk to a dietician to see what they would recommend for a good detox diet.
How long does methadone withdrawal take after you stop injecting 10 mgs of it per day for a month?
Well, methadone is an extremely powerful narcotic pain killer. It's actually the first step in a gradual detox program from heroine. By a month, your body has already created receptors to replace the ones blocked by the opioids in the methadone. Withdrawals are going to be excruciating and miserable for upwards of 72 hours, and probably will fail. Best method of detox is to find a source of oxycodone or low-dose morphine, and then wean down to low-dose hydrocodone, and then drop the meds completely. Otherwise, strap yourself down in a detox clinic and ride out the few days. You'll feel like death until it's over with. There is no quick detox that can be done on your own, in all probability. Good luck.
What will you feel after 4-5 day after detox off hydrocodone?
The answer depends on how much hydrocodone you were taking daily and for how long (days, weeks, months, etc). Edit your question and then repost. I am not a medical professional but I've been through what your asking, a few times too many, so I could help if I had some specifics.
