People have thought this combination:"sleeping medicine, anxiolytic (anti-anxiety medicine) and a narcotic/acetaminophen analgesic" is safe and they have never awakened from their drug induced slumber. Physicians are cautious when giving all of these medications ...even on a "take as needed" basis. A great deal depends on your tolerance level. There are many patients who have taken narcotics for a long time so they develop tolerance to the effects...same with the anxiety medicines. Heath Ledger was one such individual who sadly met with an early demise and deprived the world of his talents...but more importantly, his loved ones will live the rest of their days with holes in their hearts....as will all of his fans!
The most dangerous aspect of taking these three drugs is that they have "additive effects" and that means one drug boosts the effects of another. You may not be able to discern when you are reaching the critical "tipping" point. You won't be awake to judge the effects...you'll be unaware of anything...even your dreams!
If your doctor has prescribed the pain medicine during the day and the Ativan as needed with the understanding that the Ambien CR will be taken at night...then it is safe...the doctor knows the condition of your liver and kidneys and whether you are likely to become addicted to the individual drugs or the combination. As long as you do not deviate from the prescribed amounts/dosing schedules the combination is not necessarily lethal.
All three drugs are seriously affected by the slightest amount of alcohol...even in a person with a high alcohol tolerance.
The official answer is: avoid taking these together...make sure you follow your doctor's instructions and avoid all forms of alcohol and alcohol containing products (cold and cough syrups..) as well as muscle relaxants and antihistamines....this latter combination may cause permanent brain damage and possibly death with only ONE trial. If you are experimenting with this combination, please be aware that you do not know if your liver is healthy enough to metabolize the drugs and if your kidneys can effectively remove the metabolites.
Unless you have a serious injury, mega insomnia AND are nervous as a cat facing a Doberman, you don't need all three of these! Avoid them like the plague...

∙ 12y agoNO! They are both the same medications, unless your doctor tells you to take them together, DO NOT DO IT! OXYCONTIN is only Oxycodone SR (Sustained Release) meaning it is formulated to last longer. You can overdose and kill yourself. Stay Safe :) you can take oxcondone IR every 4-6 hours while taken Oxycontin XR

Can you take Oxycontin soma xanax and drink?
Not unless you want to die. You shouldn't mix any of them, but maybe a little alcohol with xanax or oxy by themselves wouldn't do anything. But if you take both at the same time that's a trip to the E.R. for sure.
What is stronger Oxycontin or oxycodone?
Oxycontin and Oxycodone are the same thing. Oxycontin is made from Oxycodone. Oxycontin is time released so it continuously release the medicine and oxycodone is not time released. It depends on how much of each you take. Say if you take a 40 MG Oxycontin pill and and 4 Oxycodone 10/325, you feel the effects of the 4 oxycodone pills because the Oxycontin time released but they are the same thing. Whichever one you take more MG of will be stronger.

How does a urine drug screen tell the difference between Oxcycontin and oxcycodone?
Oxycontin is just a time release version of oxycodone. I take oxycodone 15mg, which is fast acting, you can get Oxycontin in 60 or 80mg but it is made to work over a longer time period, some people get into trouble with Oxycontin because they break time release by chewing it, this is very dangerous to put that much oxycodone in your system at once. The only way a test would detect the "difference" is by the amount in your system but not the drug. If you chew up an Oxycontin 60 it will show up the same as if you took 4 oxycodone 15mg. It's the same drug, just different concentrations.

Now taking oxycodone switching to Oxycontin what is difference?
Oxycontin is time release, and oxycodone is not.
