Is 4mg of Dilaudid equal to 40mg of Oxycontin?

80 mg Oxycontin is by far stronger than 10mg of vicodin(hydrocodone). I am not sure the exact times stronger but I had almost like a foot reconstruction surgery and took 10/650 vicodin and the 650 is 650mg of Tylenol and it barely touched the pain and then was given a 80mg of Oxycontin and it took away my pain for about 4-5 hours, but the point is 80 mg of Oxycontin is way stronger than 10mg of vicodin.

Does the 40mg Oxycontin have the time release on it?

The coating is resistant to digestion. It dissolves a little at a time allowing the meds to release slowly

Why does hydrocodone make you sleepy when the stronger oxycodone does not?

Prescription drugs affect people differently. While most opioid based drugs will in fact make you feel tired, sometimes the other ingredients in the pills (acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and other painkillers) will negate the effect. If you're bothered by the effects of the drug, or you notice any other unusual side effects, always contact the prescribing doctor with your questions.

You have been taking sob for 2 weeks for pain now im out can you take 15mg of oxycodone to take care of the pain?

It would not be a good idea. You are more likely to abuse drugs again, especially after just 2 weeks.

Is it safe to take duragesic 50mg patch with Oxycontin?

Yes, it is. Or It has been fine for me. I have been on the two for 5 years now. Over time you will need to increase the dosage of both. The 'Duragesic Patch' goes up to 100 mg.

What is better for chronic pain methadone 5 mg or oxycodone 30 mg?

Patches - Roxiecodone isn't even in the same league as Fentanyl when it comes to overall pain relief, as Roxiecodone is an acute pain med, not a chronic pain med.

Aside from strength, Fentanyl patches last 48-72 hours, and the dropoff point to withdrawal symptoms takes hours, not a short period like it does with acute meds like Roxiecodone. You also feel a lot more normal and can deal with activities better.

The downside is that once they're on, you need to keep them on for pain relief; there is much more flexibility with pills. But if you're in a constant state of chronic, severe pain, Fentanyl patches are the only way to go.

What is in oxycodone-apap 10-650 mg?

Does liquid oxycodone and pill show up the same on a drug test?

The answer to your question is YES, Oxycodone Liquid or pill form shows up on any standard drug test as an Opiate, some test can show the amount of opiate however most standard drug screenings don't. Others like Codeine, Vicoden, Percocet and even suboxone all are opiate based drugs that will show definitively positive for Opiates.

How close is the molecuar structure of hydrocodone and oxycodone?

The two are very close. Oxycodone differs in that is has a hydroxyl group at Carbon 14 (hydrogen/oxygen rather than just hydrogen), hence the name "Oxy" in Oxycodone.

Of the 2, Oxycodone is the more potent, being 15-20 times stronger than Codeine; Hydrocodone, by comparison, is only 6 times as strong.

What happens when you mix oxycotton with alcohol?

I don't know what always happens, but I know a 35 year old woman who lost her life on 11/02/08 because she drank heavily and then took 2 oxycontins. She went to sleep and never woke up. She had done this same thing many times before and suffered no ill affects. This time she wasn't so lucky. Her family is devistated. Her mother is near a mental breakdown. And for what?

What is the difference between oxycodone 5mg and oxy codone 5mg325mg?

Oxycontin is time-release oxycodone. so, oxycodone would be instant release. YOu can scrape the coating off the OC 80s to make them instant, but ir you have an OP 80 then its stuck as extended release cuz purdue is replacing their stock with "unabusable pills"

Can you take Xanax and oxycodone together?

Yes. I had to call the pharmacy myself about this one and he said it was ok. My question to him was actually if you can take an oxycodone(percocet) and a xanax and then phenegran ( for the nausea that percocet gives me). He said yes, it would just make you really really tired. I asked can you take them all at the same time and he said it was best to wait a little bit between taking the xanax and then taking the other two. No particular order of which to take first.

***However: ALWAYS monitor CRS (respiratory system). This combination causes respiratory depression. Severe respiratory depression can lead to suffocation/death. (i.e. Heath Ledger) Essentially, this means "you stop breathing"***

What is the proper dosage of Oxycodone for dogs?

You should call your vet or call an emergency vet after hours. Don't rely on answers here when it comes to something so important like your loving pet. Be smart and think. I don't mean to be rude, sorry, I have two cats and two poodles and I would never go with advice from strangers about medicine for my pets.

Is oxycodone withdrawal worse than hydrocodone withdrawals?

yes, oxycodone is way worse. however i have managed through getting out daily. i have used soma and ambien to sleep and clonidine for blood pressure with has helped alot. daily I take vitamins and alieve. the first day was the worse for me, but suprisingly the 2nd day was better and the third day( today) is ok. i did take the meds as prescribed, however I was still at 120mgs daily. My injury area is the main problem i deal with at this time. I had accidently dropped the remainder of my pills down the sink and cant fill for a week. so I have no choice but to go through this. Whenever I am healed, i do intend to taper off, not cold turkey.

Can Oxycontin make you nasty?

Yes it can. it messes with your mood pretty severly especially if you have been takin for a while.

I been taking suboxone for 6 months and ive been tested often probation I had no problem but one time I came up hot for either hydrocodone oxycodone they told me I havent touched any drug what happen?

I am telling the truth this happened in July its already Jan why would i bring this up if im still trying to figure out how it happen. they also said it could have been morphine

this is from drugs.com: Buprenorphine is an opioid medication. Buprenorphine is similar to other opioids such as morphine, codeine, and heroin however, it produces less euphoric ("high") effects and therefore may be easier to stop taking.......

Naloxone blocks the effects of opioids such as morphine, codeine, and heroin. If Suboxone is injected, naloxone will block the effects of buprenorphine and lead to withdrawal symptoms in a person with an opioid addiction. When administered under the tongue as directed, naloxone will not affect the actions of buprenorphine.

I just don't understand and it still bothers me to this date. 6 months later may i add

they said i had a very low level in my system. i told them to retest it and they said they do when it usually has a positive result. I was on house arrest when this happened i am so lucky that they believed me. i think they could tell that i was telling the truth. I read on some sites that it make cause a false positive depending on who is doing the gcms test

Edit**Hey it happened to me too dude at outpatient...luckily it wasnt my freedom on the line or the law after my ass...however looking that guilty when you are doing so well is a major bummer. Sometimes its just a fluke though and the counselor said that as long as its a fairly low level they know you are not using. Only over a certain level in your urine do they get really suspicious usually.
