Oxycodone

When it comes to medications like roxicodone, oxycodone (same thing, roxi is brand name), hydrocodne etc the length of time in system varies upon the persons metabolism.

However, a good rule of thumb is about 3-4 days to be completely out of your system for the purpose of urine analyst.

If you are wondering about how long the 'effects' of the drug last - again depends on the person and metabolism - but the average time the effect of the drug last is anywhere between 4-8 hours.

This class of medication, especially the instant release oxycodones such as Roxicodone 15, 30 etc are especially addictive and should be used exactly as prescribed.

One of the reasons this drug is so addictive in nature is how fast the effects come on and the euphoric feeling goes away faster than the medication works on the pain. In other words, you may not 'feel' the drug working - even though it still is working on the pain. The euphoric feeling may be gone.

This also makes it rather dangerous as people do tend to abuse this medication more so than others and it is more addictive than the "Extended Release" Oxycontin - despite it's bad name, is no where near as addictive if and only IF taken exactly as prescribed.

I am *NOT* a doctor or a pharmacist and not attempting to portray myself as one. However, I do have extensive knowledge of short and long term pain medications as well as many others through years of research.

If you take a urin test can the dr tell if your taking 30mg of oxicodone or 10 mg of oxicodone

I'm not a doctor, but I have taken these pills alot. The 10mg has more hydrocode than the 7.5. 10 is greater than 7.5 The 325 referrs to the acteminophen content. The 7.5 hydrocodone has 750 mg of acetiminophen. People who take alot of hydrocodone prefer to take less acteminophen as it can hurt your liver by taking alot of acteminophen each day.

Yes you can snort Oxycontin but it is extemely dangerous. Last summer a 21 yr. old man in my city died this way. It goes into the bloodstream too fast and once it's there, there's no going back. I can't ask you enough to not do this.

Oxycontin is a synthetic manufactured MS. I have taken both for a condition I have. I will say I stay in reality much more with the MS. The oxy changed my personality, I am told not to the best. I think the pain relief is about the same. Tolerance is always a problem. The best thing is to STOP, I truly believe now that I have my pain is no worse. Now if you are taking them for other reasons than pain, then well....

Methadone is a synthetic opiod used to treat people who are addicted to opiates and is also used for pain management in some cases. Oxycodone is a narcotic used to treat to treat pain only.

The reason Methadone is used to treat addiction is because of its long half life.

Hail, yes, it does. It's pretty much why they have drug screens. Percocet is an "opiod drug", part of the heroin family. Course, a poppy seed bun can make you false-test for opium. If you're being random tested, never eat poppy seed muffins or any poppy seeds of any sort. Percocets, by the way, are in the class of dope like Oxycontin that are causing more deaths and arrests than any other drugs in the world, more than alcohol, cocaine and heroin together. I't's all "hillbilly heroin", and if you don't stop using the crap, it'll kill you or put you under the jail, not to mention losing your job.

well as a good comparison, I just shot 4-of the 2mg dilaudids and it is comparable to shotting a 60 or 80mg Morphine. Trust me on this one I normally shoot morphine 60mg but i couldn't find any so then i looked around and found some dilaudids instead and i would definitely say 7-8mg of dilaudids is very comparable to a 60 mg morphine. dilaudids are approximately 7.5 times stronger in mg comparison so 7.5 mg of morphine is about 1 mg of dilaudids.

Extremely - a single 100mcg/hr Fentanyl patch (good for 48-72 hrs depending on the patient) is equivalent to an overall Oxycodone dosage of 202mg per day, or about 9mg Oxycodone every hour for 24 hours. The average Oxycodone dose is about 10-20mg every 6 hours.

Fentanyl is the strongest opiate on the planet at 100x stronger than oral morphine. While it is normally used as an anesthetic, it's used in transdermal patches as a timed-release pain med for severe pain patients.

3 - 5 days in your urine depending on your metabolism and can be detected much longer through a blood test. Usually 2 to 3 weeks in some cases.

I want to know can I take percocets after not taking suboxone for three days and will the percocet work effectively? A: It depends on how long you've been taking Suboxone, and how many mgs. If you have been taking a low dosage(less than 8mg a day for about a week), three days should be fine. If you've been taking upwards of 8-24mg a day for a week or more, three days may not be enough. I would wait until you feel "the need" to take opiates again.

Yes and no. The reason I say that is I am an ex-marine who was injured in combat. I was first started on oral hydrocodone. I moved up in dosage and up to Oxycontin&Fentynyl. Your doctor can definatly test not only for the specific opiate ex.(oxycodone) but also the levels of that drug in your system. If your doc prescribes 2-40mg Oxycontin & 8-5/325 Percocet, they can very well tell if you have the correct level(they do the same thing for recovering addicts on Methadone/Dolphine as

well as Suboxone/Subutex/Buprenorphine...the doc may just swab your mouth or give you a "stick" test.,that just shows if you are positive for the drug or not. I'm not a Doc.,my father is and they may even draw blood for plasma levels. So think twice people

because if you are trying to "get away" or "get over" on a test regardless whom it's for...its going to be harder and harder for you

tplay games. Opiates ARE very addictive.

People have thought this combination:"sleeping medicine, anxiolytic (anti-anxiety medicine) and a narcotic/acetaminophen analgesic" is safe and they have never awakened from their drug induced slumber. Physicians are cautious when giving all of these medications ...even on a "take as needed" basis. A great deal depends on your tolerance level. There are many patients who have taken narcotics for a long time so they develop tolerance to the effects...same with the anxiety medicines. Heath Ledger was one such individual who sadly met with an early demise and deprived the world of his talents...but more importantly, his loved ones will live the rest of their days with holes in their hearts....as will all of his fans!

The most dangerous aspect of taking these three drugs is that they have "additive effects" and that means one drug boosts the effects of another. You may not be able to discern when you are reaching the critical "tipping" point. You won't be awake to judge the effects...you'll be unaware of anything...even your dreams!

If your doctor has prescribed the pain medicine during the day and the Ativan as needed with the understanding that the Ambien CR will be taken at night...then it is safe...the doctor knows the condition of your liver and kidneys and whether you are likely to become addicted to the individual drugs or the combination. As long as you do not deviate from the prescribed amounts/dosing schedules the combination is not necessarily lethal.

All three drugs are seriously affected by the slightest amount of alcohol...even in a person with a high alcohol tolerance.

The official answer is: avoid taking these together...make sure you follow your doctor's instructions and avoid all forms of alcohol and alcohol containing products (cold and cough syrups..) as well as muscle relaxants and antihistamines....this latter combination may cause permanent brain damage and possibly death with only ONE trial. If you are experimenting with this combination, please be aware that you do not know if your liver is healthy enough to metabolize the drugs and if your kidneys can effectively remove the metabolites.

Unless you have a serious injury, mega insomnia AND are nervous as a cat facing a Doberman, you don't need all three of these! Avoid them like the plague...

downer. but more specifically an opiate meaning it is closely related to heroin.

NO oxycodone or Oxycontin ishe pharmisudical equivilent to heroin

In high doses it can show up as an opiate. At normal to moderate doses oxycodone has to be specifically tested.

Some pearles:

If the person is on percocet at normal doses and they test positive for opiates they are either taking other drugs or huge doses of percocet. Expect it to be negative if they are takign normal amounts.

Check a tylenol level. If it is negative they are not taking the percocet, which has tylenol in it, but rather some other opiate.

I went through Percocet withdrawels a few years ago, not as strong as Oxy's (So i've heard) but basically the same symptoms.

For me,. who didnt take them for actual pain, but just to get high, (Stupid, yes, I know this now...) I started smoking more Marijuana then usuall and started smoking more & more ciggarettes.

Withdrawels almost always go easier if your high on something, becuase then your "general" feelings towards things are changed, and you dont tend to think about doing Oxi's (For me Perk's) as much, or same for whatever your addicted to.

For me, I used Marijuana and Ciggarettes as a.... "crutch" to help the cravings go down, or at least to distract me from thinking about them. (Perk's)

It worked for me,
And my friend "Bob" who is a current Cocaine addict, says on the "off" days (Days without Cocaine) Marijuana doesnt make his cravings go away, but it does help, by distracting him from "Blow" thoughts.

Hope this helped.... might not have, but maybe it will help someone else.
Take it eazt, good luck hope your withdrawels / cravings go down/away.

Oh, absolutely. They say that if you're going to be on oxycodone for more than a month, you must speak to a doctor about how to adjust your dose, or perhaps switch to another medication. If you'll only need it for a few weeks, or for a short-ish post-op situation, there shouldn't be as much of an issue with tolerance. I have chronic pain (RSD, Fibromyalgia, arthritis). I was treated well by about 20 mg a day (starting October 2007), but as time wore on, I've needed more and more. Recently I was switched to 60 mg a day of oxycodone -- that was about three months ago -- and just today I had to be switched to MS Contin because there's almost no end to the tolerance. I guess it's a juggling act for chronic pain sufferers -- good luck to you. :)

No, it does not. It is an antiviral medication.

yes. I had to take them together (crushed, in applesauce) for 3 nights in a row after surgery. Just relax, and get some rest. Drink plenty of water when you wake up bc you may have a little cotton mouth
