Is arcoxia stronger then Oxycontin?

Oxycontin is stronger than Percocets, because Percocet contains acetaminophen(Tylenol) and other fillers, whereas Oxycontin is a much purer form of oxycodone.


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.


Do you get a buzz or get high from the Fentanyl patch like you do when you take Oxycontin?

Not after the first couple of weeks when you get used to the dose. Unlike OxyContin, patch doses are much more steady, and there's no steep dropoff in dosage level like there is with OxyContin as the drug wears off. Essentially, you feel pretty normal, just no pain.


Can you mic Oxycontin and Vicodin together?

Oxycontin (oxycodone) is just a stronger version of Vicodin (hydrocodone), so yes, you can mix them together. Just be very careful not to take too much and overdose.


What is stronger Lortab Oxycontin or vicodin?

Lortab is the brand name for hydrocodone and acetaminophen (tylenol). Hydrocodone is not the same as oxycodone and oxycodone is much stronger than hydrocodone. Oxycodone drugs include OxyContin, Percocet, etc. So a simple answer, oxycodone is stronger.

What is the most effective painkiller for degenerative disc disease fusion of C5-C7 and psoriatic arthritis for which I took Oxycontin and oxycodone for over five years and now I am taking Nucynta?

It depends on the level of Oxycodone or OxyContin you're taking, but if it's been that long and you're still dealing with residual pain, then you should take a look at Fentanyl patches. Nucynta isn't much more effective than Oxycodone (straight or as a combo like Percocet) or OxyContin - it's at the same opiate level, and frankly if you were getting tolerant to Oxycodone, Nucynta probably isn't helping much, and frankly it's new enough that there's still debate on its overall effectiveness. If you haven't done so, get another surgeon to do a full CT (not an MRI) on your fusion site to make sure it was done correctly; I'm living proof that you shouldn't trust what your doctor tells you. Your surgeon isn't going to tell you if he screwed up your procedure or not. If you didn't have full-blown herniations at C5/6/7, you really shouldn't be having that much pain, unless it's the arthritis that's setting in. Most of the pain I have is due to those disks being flattened prior to my own fusion between those vertebrae, and I still have nerve damage 17 years later. If you've considered Duragesic or generic Fentanyl patches before and ruled them out because you didn't want to get more dependent, you're only screwing yourself. The only regret I have about using patches is not listening to my doctor, and switching from OxyContin to Duragesic a much sooner.


Can you take Darvocet with Oxycontin?

Yes; however, you will nedd to take less of each drug. Both are prescribed for pain relief and work similar on the opiate receptors of the brain. Darvocet is a schedule IV narcotic and much milder than Oxycontin. Oxycontin is a schedule II narcotic and much stronger than darvocet. It really would not make too much sense to take both together because the Oxycontin will over power the effects of darvocet. Be very careful when combining different narcotic pain relievers.

Does Fentanyl cause pinpoint pupils?

Yes it does. But not to the extent that stronger opioids do. It is much weaker than oxycodone, morphine etc. Constriction of pupils is most common when somebody overdoses on tramadol.
