Flexiril, is a muscle relaxant, while hydrocodone (usually known as vicodine) is a narcotic pain reliever. So yes, in a way they are both pain pills, but they target different areas.

How can you get pain management doctor to change my pain med of lorocet to percocet?

Percoset (oxycodone) is stronger than lorcet (hydrocodone) so you need to convince him that you need stronger medication. Tell him that you just arent getting the same pain relief as you used to get when you started taking the pills, he will probably either prescribe stronger hydrocodone pills or swith to oxycodone and prescribe Percoset.


Is Oxycodone in the same family as Hydrocodone?

Yes and no. Both are narcotics for relieving pain. However, Oxycodone has a higher potency than Hydrocodone. Oxycodone is found in Hydrocodone, yet Hydrocodone is cut with acetominophen (tylenol) as well. Oxycodone alone is stronger than Hydrocodone, and in a perscription is generally a higher dose. for example, a usual perscription strength of hydrocodone is 7.5/650. this means that there is 7.5mg of oxycodone, and 650mg of acetominophen. Oxycodone perscriptions will have a single number, say 30mg. this means the tablet is simply 30mg of oxycodone. If you're a patient who needs the pills for pain relief, keep them locked up. If you're a recreational user, be careful and dont take your parents pills.

What 's the different between hydrocodone 5-500mg and hydrocodone5-325mg both have the same effects?

The only difference between hydrocodone 5-500mg and hydrocodone 5-325mg is that the latter preparation contains less acetaminophen (APAP). The first number in each is the dose of hydrocodone, while the second number is the dose of APAP. The primary ingredient in the pills is hydrocodone, while the APAP is added primarily to discourage abuse (though officially, it is stated to be for synergistic pain relief). APAP is the same ingredient as in Tylenol, and it is very toxic to the liver in overdose. The maximum dose of APAP per day is 4000mg. Therefore, the pill with less APAP is better if one is taking many of these pills for pain relief.


Is there anything to do in order to lower the pain for piercings?

Hydrocodone or Vodka. But what's the point of the piercing if people ask you "did it hurt?" when you reply "No I took pain pills." You shouldn't get a piercing if you can't handle pain. I got my septum done, and I cried.


Is a hydrocodone a perkiest?

Hydrocodone is not percocet. Percocet is a combination oxycodone and acetaminophen. Hydrocodone is the active ingredient in brand name Vicodin, which also has acetaminophen in it. The difference is that oxycodone is a little more potent than hydrocodone, but both are very effective for treatment of pain.
