Oxycodone

No. What you have is immediate release oxycodone. Oxycontin is no different of a substance. The only difference is that Oxycontin is a brand name of the drug, and is controlled released. The generic name for Oxycontin is oxycodone HCL the HCL (hydrochloride) means it releases the medicine slowly into your system over a span of usually 12 hours. That is why people snort, or inject oxycodone as opposed to taking it orally like you are supposed to, so that all the medicine is released into your system.

absolutely NOT

"ANY oxycodone (the generic term for Vicodin) will show up in a drug test." The persom who posted this answer is only 1/2 but VERY wrong! Oxycodone is not the generic for Vicone. Oxycodone is a completley different drug and is much stronger than vicodin. Vicodin is made of hydrocodone. Hydrocodone and oxycodone will NOT show up as the same drug. Yes any amount of oxycodone will show up for at leat 3-4 days after taking just one pill.

oxycodin is either a misspelling for oxycodone or Oxycontin.

Oxycontin is pure oxycodone into a pill, with inert binders. It is the name of the pill.

Oxycodone is the name of the chemical in the pill.

Technically they are the same thing...

"Technically they are the same thing..."

>>>Not really true. Oxycodone is the drug itself, yes. Oxycontin is a time-release version of the medication. If you look at two medications, one oxycodone and one Oxycontin, then you are looking at an immediate-release pill and a time-release pill. Be very careful with these drugs. Taking too many can make you very, very sick, and Oxycontin should NEVER be crushed or broken.

If you took any pain killer and it was too strong do not take any more medication the same day. Check with your physician before taking any prescription medication. Just because the milligrams are the same does not mean the drugs are equivalent to each other and have the same therapeutic affect in the body.

Well, it is obviously different for you than it is most people. I have been taking Suboxone for a year, and I certainly do not get high from it. I am at 8 mg per day. I never feel high from it. I don't know anyone who feels high from Suboxone.

The first day I took it I felt good, but I am pretty sure that is only because I was in withdrawal before I took it and it got me well.........it definitely did not feel anything like Oxy's.

So, all I can say to you is enjoy it........LOL! I am a little jealous, actually.....(I know that's sick, but it's the nature of the beast I guess).

usually the 325 means the amount of acetaminophen or ibuprofen in it.. you will never have a pill 325 mg of oxycodone.. the amount of oxycodone is usually the lower number for example... 5-325 is 5 mg oxy and 325 of acetaminophen and 7.5/325 is 7.5 oxy and 325 acetaminophen and sooo on.. 5/325... 7.5/325..10/325..

My doctors have had me on both fentanyl patches, fentanyl citrate suckers, and oxycodone for years. There has been no problems.

Both are very addictive. How addicted you get depends on personal preference from person to person. High dosages of Percocet and Lortab have very similar effects, they both feel like morphine with very slight differences. Some people get sick on Lortab but not on Percocet, and vice versa. Percocet is slightly easier to take considering it is a tablet and not a syrup, so for some people that might be a minor deciding factor.

The ingredients may have weakened due to degredation with age, so you might notice a decrease in therapeutic response (alleviation of pain), but that's about it.

yes, there are no drug interactions between the two... naproxen (similar to ibuprofen) is even added to some oxycodone mixtures... ibuprofen will at most increase the analgesic effects of oxycotin...

Neither in and of itself is damaging to the liver. Opioids are some of the safest drugs available as far as organ health goes. However, anything taken in excess can be damaging.

Sometimes oxycodone is prescribed with Tylenol, and when this is the case it is the Tylenol that can damage the liver, if taken in excess.

As always, take these meds as prescribed and you should have no trouble.

i took one almost two days before my drug test and passed it. i actually took alot i think liike 2 30 mg percocets and some hydrocodones and passed my drug test for a job. it was a mouth swab test... so im guessing so.

Vitamins will certainly help with the malnutrition you usually get if you've been abusing drugs. It won't really help the shakiness, nausea, diarrhea, etc - your doctor can give you some medicine to help, and can help you cut down on the Oxycontin every day in a safer fashion so that you don't have so many withdrawal symptoms! Good luck with the healthy new lifestyle!

Yes, oxycodone is a narcotic and will show up in the narcotic class along with heroin and morphine.

As the Adminstrator for a Medical practice I will tell you the LEGAL answer and then the PRACTICAL Answer:

LEGAL ANSWER:

So long as the Physician avows that his or her judgment is clear and un-impaired, he or she can, in many states and jurisdictions, continue to practice medicine and examine patients.

PRACTICAL ANSWER:

If you KNOW your Physician is taking morphine, a morphine-like drug or OxyCodone type drugs because he or she TOLD you-- consider the fact that the Doctor TOLD you of his/her own free will. And if they told WHY or for what they are taking the drug and you are comfortable with the reason (ie: pain releif from pain from cancer) then decide for yourself whether you continue to trust this person and whether you still feel comfortable with this person.

If you KNOW your physician is taking drugs of ANY kind and they did nOT tell you, but you see CLEAR evidence of impairment or unsettling behavior, then you should worry about Impaired Judgment. And if there is a risk of impaired judgment or the doctor's behavior makes you uncomfortable, trust your gut feeling and seek another physician and request your records to the new practice.

dont do it... xanex is a benzo. XANEX AND METHADONE have a very high potential for a DEADLY combination, as do all benzos w methadone. talk to your dr about mixing the others.

the hydrocodone and percocet will show up in the drug screen as the same thing so if you have prescribed percocet and valiums than dont worry about the lortab.....

No, it's a very bad idea to combine opiates with a depressant let alone two. Doing this would be extremely risky and could easily lead to severe respiratory depression and death.

FOREVER.... or until you get a concussion from falling out of a tree you stupidly climbed.

Oxycontin is a brand name for a time release oxycodone, a very strong opiate based pain killer

I definitely wouldn't advise it. My best friend overdosed and died mixing Oxycontin and heroin. So please just don't do it`.

Yes, Suboxone (buprenorphine) has been successfully used as a detoxification protocol to wean patients from opiate usage while minimizing withdrawal symptoms. Its molecules have a similar affinity for the same receptors as opiates but cause a less strong addictive potential, thus blocking the opiates and down-regulating the receptors for withdrawal. It may be used alone, or in combination with benzodiazepines (as Ativan, Xanax) or clonidine.
