Oxycodone

4 to 6 hours. Basically how long it takes until the liver dissolves the percs

If it's a drug test in the form of a blood test, then it will show up if you have taken the oxycodeine within approximately 48 hours of the test. If it's a hair strand test, it depends upon how long you have been snorting oxycodeine for. (E.g if you have only snorted it the once, one the day of the hair strand test, it is unlikely to show up, since your hair doesn't grow that quickly. If it's been a regular habit for a week or more, it will probably show up in your hair.)

According to the Quest Diagnostics website, oxycodone can not be tested for with that drug test because it has a poor cross-reactivity.

This website (PDF) has a full FAQ regarding oral fluid drug tests. Good luck.

Methadone will block any effect that the Oxycontin would give. First of, the RX you are referring to is Oxycontin NOT Oxycontin as refered above. As a RN and nurse anesthetist for 25 years I can tell you with 100% accuracy that the combination of these 2 powerful narcotics will lead to respiratory arrest and death UNLESS you are being treated medically for breakthrough pain-e.g. end stage cancer. Also, as law student I find it offensive that non-medically trained people are giving out information that can KILL. When you take Methadone and Oxycontin which is time released oxycodone by the way will land you on the Coroner's table. Methadone is a full agonsit synthetic narcotic and it does NOT block ANY opiates it potentiates or increases the effects of both drugs and leads to DEATH. Whatever imbecile wrote this has no business giving medical advise especially regarding powerful narcotics. NEVER EVER combine these 2 drugs unless you have cancer with high pain tolerance and under medical supervision or the end result is DEATH period. Suboxone and Narcan block Oxycontin, methadone and ALL opiates. This person got it totally backwards and hopefully did not harm anyone due to this most ignorant reckless advice that could lead to lawsuit. In the future please use medical professionals to answer these questions. If someone took this advice they could be dead by now...unbelievable.

When alcohol is mixed with any pain medication that is in the vicodin family the affects of the drug are intensified. Both the alcohol and this drug work on the same things in the nervous system.

For what? It does work for both killing pain (for non-opiate addicts) and getting over an addiction to painkillers. I know several people who have successfully completed suboxone treatment and are very glad they chose it, although it is still hard for them.

Tow German chemists: Drs. Freund and Speyer at the University of Frankfurt in 1916.

Dilaudid, which contains Hydromorphone is one of the strongest painkillers available, because Dilaudids contain hydromorphone only, no fillers. That's probably why the highest mg available is 8mg, last time I heard. ~Actually the strongest painkiller, which sounds like what you're looking for, is a little drug called Fentanyl. It is so strong it comes in doses of micrograms unlike most other drugs that are in milligrams. The typical first time IV dose for fentanyl is approximately 45 micrograms and a grain of salt is about 60 micrograms. So I hope that puts it into perspective for all. ~J.R.S.~

don't let the suboxone fool you it really doesnt do much, once you stop takin it you will feel all the pain. it really sucks i look AT IT like giving back all the good times that landed me in this situation. its been 3 weeks since I've slept thru the nite.

no, it is an anti-inflammatory/muscle relaxer

yes in that all drugs except THC will bind to the melanin of the hair so if for example a red head doesn't have the same melanin as a black haired person and it is the black and brown range that it binds to so the same amount can be given to a red head and a black haired person the black hair will show higher levels.

Take 25mg.

Oh my GOD you might get really sick from all the acetaminophen in it you got to think 500 mg's per every 5 mg and 650 mg's per 10 mg pill so be care full on these answers. I would say take 10 mg's your first time. Then and only then if they dont give you your desired BUZZ, take some more but give it a full 45 mins before you do take more, so you can fully get the first one in your system.

No. To be safe, anticipate 72-96 hours depending on the regularity and size of the dosage, your BMI, and how much water you drink. Most standard drug tests test for the metabolites of hydrocodone (vicodin), codeine, morphine, and 6-acetylmorphine (heroin) as they all end up the same after your liver is done with them. Oxycodone is metabolized into something different and it costs a lot more to test for it, so it is often left out of the opiate panel. Many probation departments and even doctors are unaware of this, but don't chance it. Doctor's will test you to see if you are selling it instead of taking it. Some of those detox drinks with a lot of B-vitamins and creatine will help mask the presence of opiates by flushing your kidneys and bladder to below threshold levels (but temporarily) and they only work if you have 48 HOURS CLEAN prior to taking the drink and you time it perfectly to the urinalysis. Large doses of water, which are part of the detox drink process, might be the cause of the flushing so it could be a waste of money for the drink. Some urinalysis will also be disqualified due to high presence of creatinine in urine, and they'll make you wait a few hours in which case you will become dirty because the flush is temporary. This is also the case with too much water, they'll make you wait and you'll end up dirty. Good luck if you you only have 2 days clean, but for the best case you want 96 hours and take 100% rda of all B vitamins and drink at least a gallon of water per day, and get some cardio to hype up your metabolism. DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL OR TAKE ACETOMINAPHEN (tylenol) as they are hard on your liver and will reduce it's ability to filter out the opiate metabolites.

yes

Tetrahydrocannabinol is produced in the buds of the female marijuana plant, THC does not naturally occur in male marijuana plants.

Depends on your tolerance but I snort 3 (15mg each) oxycodone pills and wait a hour then take 2 (50mg each) trazodones. I sleep extremely well with the two mixed but as I said before it depends on your tolerance and dosage.

That is a question you need to ask your doctor or pharmacist.

It doesn't make sense for your doctor to prescribe 2 different brands of the same medication expecting you to take them both.

Most likely your doctor messed up - but maybe not, the pharmacist should have alerted you.

Call your pharmacy or doctor right away to find out.

I have been taking different antidepressants for 9 years. I was given Pecocet for chronic back pain and all my depession and anxiety has disappeared! Yes-it works for me.

Yes both are opiates, a derivitive of the poppy plant, just like heroine. The only difference between pain medication is the amount of milligrams, and what its cut with, ie tylenol, aspirin, ibuprofen, etc.

Depends on your body weight and your tolerance to either drug. I know some people who would feel pretty good after taking that combination, and some people who would be dead after taking that. If you can take 6 Ambien and 10 Percocet within 24 hours and still be awake, then you should more than likely seek professional help for your drug problem. Hell, even if you have to take 10 Percocet in a day to feel the effect you should seek counseling. Today it's 10 Percocet, but tomorrow you will be buying two OC 80's a day. Keep that in check.

Yes they can tell the difference in Methadone and hydrocodone Methadone has to be tested separately in a test it is not on the 5 panel test. Hydrocodone however is an opiate and will show up as an opiate. Methadone is a synthetic opiate and is in a class all of its own. Methadone tricks the brain into thinking that its still has heroin/opiates in the body it works the same in the brain. So to answer your question they would have to test separate for methadone. It is two totally different drug classes.

I personally don't think on a dipstick they can. Methadone is still an opiate. I took it for years with loracet and never saw the dr tell a difference. Sorry to tell ya.

Yes, while prego with my youngest two i did every day and they are fine. Doc even prescribed at one point. Percoset is sometimes seen as better

You absolutely can combine lidocaine and vicodin together as Lidocaine contains NO acetaminophen.

Both opiate medications are very powerful painkillers that achieve the exact same results. The hydromorphone has 16mg of opiates and the oxycodone has 60mg of opiates. Both are time release so don't cut them in half and then take them or you could overdose.

Its always best to take the lowest dosage that works and increase that dose only when the lower dose is no longer working. Whatever you do be sure to stay in contact with your doctor before making any changes in dosage of any medication but this is especially true with any opiate medication.

It's also a good idea to have some Narcan on hand just in case of an accidental overdose . Narcan can and will will save your life. Your doctor can prescribe Narcan for you and it's cheep..

Opiate pain medication is highly addictive and that addiction will creep up on you and you won't see it until it's late. Take it from an old veteran it's no fun being addicted to opiates then trying to get clean. It will be one of the hardest things to have to go through. Unfortunately for most addicts it usually doesn't end well.

Take Care, Stay safe and good luck!
