Does vistaril enhance the effects of oxycodone?

Yes. First generation antihistamines (i.e. Vistaril, Benadryl) increase the analgesic effects of most opiates so that a lower dose of opiate can be given. Antihistamines also reduce some of the side effects, such as itching and nausea. Vistaril can also inhibit the enzyme that metabolizes Oxycodone, but I think that is negligible unless the Vistaril dose is very high (over 100mg).


Is vistaril an MAOI?

No. Vistaril (hydroxyzine) is an antihistamine. It is used as a non-addictive way to treat anxiety. Vistaril is not a member of the MAO inhibibitor class of medications.


Does vistaril show up on drug test?

Vistaril is an antihistamine sometimes given in conjunction with a narcotic to make the narcotic work better. I doubt drug tests show it at all because although it is a a priscription drug, it is not a controlled substance.

How does Demerol compare to percoset?

Both demerol and percocet are opioids, meaning they have opium alkaloids as their base. As far as potency goes, the oxycodone in Percocet is stronger than the meperidine in Demerol. Taken orally, Demerol is only about one-third as strong as when given IV or in a muscle. Taken orally, oxycodone is about 50% stronger than morphine, which is many times stronger than meperidine.
