If you take that in place of your percocet,and you have to take a urine test, you will show up with "Hydrocodone" in your system rather than "Oxycodone"....or both depending on how long its been since you took percocet. That might not set well with your doctor. Hope this helps.
vicodin contains hydrocodone, percocet contains oxycodone. hydrocodone is weaker than oxycodone.
Yes, Percocet being the stronger one out of the two.percocets contain oxycodone and acetaminophen, vicodin contains hydocodone and acetaminophen.. both are opiates
Hydrocodone and Vicodin are the same thing. Vicodin is namebrand, Hydrocodone is generic. Same thing with Percocet and Oxycodone.
No. I am the same way. If I take a Vicodin I feel really sped up, jittery and itchy. Percocet on the other hand makes me very very sleepy.
Vicodin and Percodan are powerful narcotic pain relievers that are only available by prescription from a doctor. Vicodin is a schedule 3 narcotic, and Percodan is a schedule two narcotic. Both medications can lead to tolerance.
Percocet are much stronger then vics. They contain Oxycodone which is a more powerful drug.Vicodin and percocet are about the same,your body metabolises different from everyone elses. While Vicodin might work really well for me percocet might work better for you. I have a vitamin D defeciency and fybromyagia and have asked my doctor to put me on Hydrocodone 5/350 as the 5/500 I am on now are not working for the pain.
No, it shows up as an opiate.
I have used percocet 500 and vicodin 750 for buldging discs and degenerative arthititis in my back. Persocet lasts longer, starts quicker, and provides more relief. I have not had any negative side effects except sonstipation. Good luck.
Percocet comes in strengths of 2.5mg, 5mg, 7.5mg, and 10mg oxycocdone hydrochloride. Vicodin is 5mg hydrocodone. 5mg of oxycodone is the equivalent strength of 7.5mg of hydrocodone. Also, equivalent milligrams of oxycodone hydrochloride (Percocet) is slightly weaker than oxycodone (OxyContin). So, yes.
percocet is a little bit stronger than vicodin in terms of its sedating and painkilling effects. i had my wisdom teeth out a month ago and after a few days the vicodin the doctor prescribed me for pain gradually lost its effect. he then prescribed me percocet which felt stronger to me but like the vicodin it gradually lost its effect. your body tends to build high tolerances to these drugs if used consistently.
Yes.
Vicodin and Percocet are both synthetic opioid drugs derived from the Opium Poppy plant. Both drugs have euphoriant, pain-relieving and sedative effects. Both drugs come in combination with acetaminophen (Tylenol). Both are addictive.
