Is Oxycontin time released?

I know that the original Oxycontin does have time release but I am not sure about any of the generic brands. The time release on Oxycontin can be removed by peeling off the outer color (that is the time release)

Oxycontin (generic and name brand) is time released (the 'contin' in Oxycontin stands for continuous) but there are brands availabe without the time release coating. The only one I'm aware of is Roxicodone, which is 15mg of oxycodone and is fast-acting, due to the lack of the time release coating. Roxicodone is normally prescribed for breakthrough pain. But yes, Oxycontin the time release feature only works if the coating is not peeled off, or if the pill is cut in half or quarters. That's the only way to get all the medication of an Oxy out at once. But unless you're opiate-tolerant (meaning you have taken Oxycontin every day for several months straight), I wouldn't recommend it. Trust me, when I tried a 20mg Oxycontin for the first time with the time release still on it, it worked wonders. *sigh* I miss those days. Never abuse Oxy, you will regret it! It never feels the same after you abuse it for years, even if you go a week without any!

What is the difference between a brand name and a generic drug?

brand name medications are the original maker of tthe drug that first patented the drug. once the patent expires other companies are allowed to manufacture the samw drug but can use different "fillers" that may be cheaper so that the drug can be sold at a cheaper price. the main part of the medicine is still the same as the name brand but its just cheaper filler additives example: name brand lortab has hydrocodone and tylenol in it.....the generic would have the same quality hydrocodone but they may use a off brand tylenol or add a different binding agent than the name brand uses

Can oxycodone IR 5 mg and lorazepam .05 mg be taken together?

Yes, I have taken the two together but talk with your doctor first, don't just go ahead and do it.

What effect does cimetidine have with oxycodone or xanax?

It is said that the cimetidine will potentiate the oxycontin. It is supposed to prolong the effectiveness of the drug.

The Tagamet HB (Cimetidine) is a broad CYP450 inhibitor. This basically means it 'clogs' the enzymes that metabolize opiates\opioids and clear 'em out of the body. Tagamet HB tablets are 200mg each, so the recommended 600mg is 3 tabs. They're OTC, and you can get a box of 50 generic 200mg cimetidine tabs at CVS for like $5.49. There are several posts on the web about this. Hope this helps!!

Does Oxycontin filler build up in your lungs if you snort it?

Can Fioricet get you high?

yes Fioricet contains opiates and acetaminophen which will sedate you. you may have to take at least 20 to feel anything.

Just a little FYI.... Fioricet is a barbiturate not an opiate. There is a difference between barbiturates and opiates. Also if you take 20 you probably won't be coherent or alive to feel it anyway. I have taken three Fioricet and felt pretty weird. I don't think it's the kind of drug you want to use to get high on but that's just my opinion.

Can you take Oxycontin's and zanex together?

yes, but only in low doses, i wouldn't suggest taking alot of xanax while under the influence of oxy or taking a s*** load when coming down from an oxy binge...be careful as these are powerful and potent drugs and everyone's body reacts differently.

Can you stop oxycodone cold turkey?

It is possible, but the risk for relapse is greatly increased. Also the withdrawal effects would be extremely debilitating, as with any opiate. I would suggest setting a date to stop and attempt to ween yourself of by that date, but whether you can or not, stop by that date. Or if you have the money for it some rehab centers have and may be experimenting with drugs that can aid some withdrawl symptoms. There is some research on a naturally produced halucinagin that can elimminate all craving and other withdrawl symptoms for opiate addicts.

What are the effects of 500 mg oxycodone pills?

Like most people you are assuming the larger number is the "good stuff" and the smaller number is just some insignificant number. Listen, when you see a bottle of Vicodin or Hydrocodone or Oxycodone that says 5/550 OR 7.5/750 OR 5/750 OR 10/650......the smaller number is the "drug" and the larger number is the APAP or the acetaminophen or the Tylenol.....basically you want that number to be as small as possible. Its NOT a good thing for that number to be large. you WANT that smaller number to be large. Basically you want it to say 10, or 20, or 30. If the smaller number says 5 than all you are getting is 5mg of oxycodone, which ain't much. But foolish peo0ple will brag they have 500mg of oxycodone when they have 500mg of Tylenol...oooooooh you are really cool...lol. Anyway, if you havent done it before it is for pain and gives you a slight head buzz makes you feel relaxed and you will enjoy it. It wont be strong, its the smallest dose you can take...5mg. remember...if someone tells you they have 750's, laugh at them because you can buy 750 mg of Tylenol at the store.
