Vicodin is not an Opiate, but it is an Opioid. Although similar, there is a difference between the two. Basically, an Opiate is derived from the poppy plant while an Opioid is a natural or synthetic substance that triggers the Opioid (pain) receptors in the brain.
Yes it does. It is opiate based, like Vicodin, percocet, morphine, heroin, etc.
No. Percocet contains oxycodone, an opiate (like codeine), but more potent.
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 is a combination of Oxycodone and Tylenol; Vicodin is a brand name for Hydrocodone. While both are similar, Oxycodone is the stronger of the 2, and both will show on a test as an opiate.
Yes it certainly does...
No. Heroin is an opiate, just like vicodin (hydrocodone) or percocet (oxycodone). Opiates are ingestible. If one were to eat heroin, they would get high. Also opiates bind with receptors in your digestive system, which is why they (opiates) can cause constipation.
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.
No you cannot. Neither Tylenol nor codeine is chemically analogous to cocaine. Depending on the test, you may get a false positive for cocaine from cocaine-like drugs including lidocaine (local painkiller and given to combat cardiac arrhythmias), novacaine, etc.
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.
Yes it is an opiate just like morphine and heroin.
Oxycodone, the active ingredient in Percocet, like all opiates, is derived from opium. More specifically, oxycodone is derived from thebaine, which is derived from opium. Opioids, which are synthetic opiate-like molecules, while not derived from opium, are modeled on opiates.
The most common is oxycodone, followed by tranquilizers such as Xanax and other painkillers like Vicodin and Percocet.
