Can oxycodone and hydrocodone be taken together?

Answer 1

Yes they are both opiates therefore can be mixed just not in large doses. If you take a vic at noon you can take a perc or percs at 4pm-6pm.

Well yeah, if the pain you are in justifies such heavy medication. I for example have 6 disks in my lumbar that are all messed up with multiple problems at each level. I am currently taking Roxicodone which is 30mg of instant release oxycodone unlike Oxycontin. I also take Norco which is 10mg of hydrocodone and 325mg of Tylenol. I am prescribed 6 a day of each, and have been for quite some time. It works wonders for me, and could not have anything close to a life without it. What the person above was trying to say or at least I think they are is if you have a low opiate tolerance you can't take it in high doses, and also if your medications contain Tylenol you aren't supposed to take that in high dosage because of possible liver and or kidney damage.

Also people don't know this but Heath Leger's overdose was a mixture of these two drugs along with sleeping pills and other drugs. So be very careful and listen very carefully to your doctor, and follow the directions on the bottles label. Also, don't be scared to ask your doctor or pharmacist questions. It could save your life.

Answer 2

Yes, Actually You Can Take Methadone And Percocet together. But While On The Methadone, There Will Be NO Euphoria Because Methadone binds to the glutamatergic NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptor, and thus acts as a receptor antagonist against glutamate. Glutamate is the primary excitatory neurotransmitter in the Central Nervous System. So Basically, The Oxycodone In The Percocet Will Make You Sleepy. And It Is Not Very Good To Mix Those To Opioids Together To Get High.

That Is Why Opioid Addicts Go To A Methadone Clinic, Because If An Opioid Addict Decides To Use While On Methadone. Then He/She Will Not Feel Any Euphoria From eg:Heroin.

So Basically The Addict Wasted His/Her Money On The Street Opiate.

== == == == == == Respiratory depression from said combination may prove deadly. Don't mix methadone with other narcotics.

Answer 3

You can but be careful, oxy is a more potent pain killer then hydro, this converts to to oxy = Percoset. hydro = vicodin.

You can take these together, a lot of doctors will prescribe them together for very bad pain but unless prescribed by your doctor I wouldn't suggest it. Doctors will usually prescribe oxy-cotton (a time released oxy codone) with hydro for "break thru" pain, but like i said this is presribed by a doctor, do not take matters into your own hands, this is how people OD.

Answer 4

Sure you can... Hydrocodone is Vicodin and Oxycodone is - well, Oxycodone (better known as Percoset, which is Oxycodone and Acetaminophen combined)... But, if you have to ask, I would say be very careful. Opiates can affect people very differently, even hydro and oxy, one may make you sick while the other does not. If you are not familiar or opiate tolerant I wouldn't mix them... Take them seperately, worst case is you get high twice :-)

Answer 5

The only person who can tell you if it is safe for you to take these drugs together is your doctor.

Answer 6

Yes, but too much oxycodone & or Hydrocodone can cause you to just stop breathing, in other words death...

Answer 7

Yes as long as it is a low dose
