Oxycontin is the slow release of Endone. Oxycontin is usually given for its slow release capabilities meaning that over a 12 hour period. No matter what size dosage. But check with you G.P as they will tell you the exact dosage that they would like you to be taking as it is so addictive.

Can Diazepam Oxycontin be taken at the same time?

You can but it is not recommended. If taken in large doses or if someone has no tolerance to either the opiate (Oxycontin) or the benzodiazepine (diazepam), the person may experience slowed breathing and a slowed heart beat. Either one can be so severe to the point of death. But if taken cautiously and responsibly, it is possible to survive a dosing of Oxycontin and diazepam and have a fun time while doing it. Just don't drink any alcohol, none! It will raise your chance of dying from both those drugs by like 600%

Is there a medication i can take that will help me get off oxycodone?

Yes subuxone will help you get off any opiate. I recently used it for percocet/oxycontin/vicodin. It is very effective, but you do have to find a doctor and program in your area that will prescribe it. Good luck with the kick!

Can a person snort Oxycontin once and not have a habit?

YES! Contrary to what the mainstream would have you believe you can try a lot of drugs once and not be addicted. It takes a daily habit and a certain kind of person to become an addict of any drug. Some people use Oxycontin relationally every other weekend and will never become an addict. I personally believe that any drug used in moderation can be enjoyed by anyone. People just don't know how to ration themselves!

If I exercise five days a week will oxycodone be out of my system in four days?

Depending on your definition of "out of your system", yes and no.

Oxycodone has a half life of 3 - 4.5 hours. The math is easier with 4 hours. With a 4 hour half-life, after 24 hours, you would have 1.5% of the drug left in your system. After 2 days, 0.02% will be left in your system. By the 4th day it's down to about a millionth of a percent. So, in other words, after 2 days, it's effectively gone.

Now, if you're asking with regards to drug testing, that's different (and I don't mean to imply that it is, but drug testing is a common subject here), the tests usually don't test for the presence of the drug itself, but for metabolites of the drug. That is, most drugs enter your system as one chemical and exit it as different chemicals. The body breaks it down into other things, and some of those other things will hang around much longer.

I don't know what the time frame is for oxycodone, but based on similar drugs, I suspect it's testable in urine for 1-5 days, testable in the blood probably 6-12 hours, and testable in the hair for about 90 days.

Why does Oxycontin cause swelling in jands snd feet?

Do oxycodone and hydrocodone have similar effects on the brain?

Oxycodone (CII) is about twice as potent an analgesic an hydrocodone (CIII).

Both may be possessed only with a valid prescription; it is a violation of Federal Law otherwise. Both substances are highly addictive, with eventual physical dependence almost 100% likely.

How long does Oxycontin pain relief last if you chew it?

Well Oxycotin is the time released one, so by chewing it youre breaking the coating for the time release which would most likely make you high. due to high abuse the "new" oc's (op's) cannot be chewed, snorted, or shot up as once it hits fluid it'll lock up. however, if you have the original Oc's or Oxycodone, without a tolerance you should have pain relief for 3-6 hours. whereas swallowing an oxyCONTIN will last from 8-10.
