Can i altyernate with another pain medication to reduce my percocet tolerance?

This depends on which pain medication you are alternating with. Alternating with another opiate (morphine, hydrocodone, codeine, etc..) will not reduce your tolerance to Percocet because opiates possess a cross-tolerance with each other. Substituting an over the counter NSAID such as ibuprofen for Percocet will slowly reduce your opiate tolerance but the dosage of NSAID needed to even come close to the pain relieving effects of Percocet would have serious detrimental effects on your liver and stomach. The best and safest way to reduce your Percocet tolerance is to slowly reduce your dosage and space dosages out.

If I exercise five days a week will oxycodone be out of my system in four days?

Depending on your definition of "out of your system", yes and no.

Oxycodone has a half life of 3 - 4.5 hours. The math is easier with 4 hours. With a 4 hour half-life, after 24 hours, you would have 1.5% of the drug left in your system. After 2 days, 0.02% will be left in your system. By the 4th day it's down to about a millionth of a percent. So, in other words, after 2 days, it's effectively gone.

Now, if you're asking with regards to drug testing, that's different (and I don't mean to imply that it is, but drug testing is a common subject here), the tests usually don't test for the presence of the drug itself, but for metabolites of the drug. That is, most drugs enter your system as one chemical and exit it as different chemicals. The body breaks it down into other things, and some of those other things will hang around much longer.

I don't know what the time frame is for oxycodone, but based on similar drugs, I suspect it's testable in urine for 1-5 days, testable in the blood probably 6-12 hours, and testable in the hair for about 90 days.

Why does Oxycontin cause swelling in jands snd feet?

that sounds like a simple allergic reaction... it does not occur to everyone.

Can you smoke marijuana while on prescribed oxycodone 30Mg 5 times a day and methadone 3 times a day 20 Mg?

Answer

Absolutely, smoking marijuana would not interfere with either one of the medications you are taking. Neither will it cause any extra harm to your body due to the combination of the drugs.

Answer

That is correct. In fact, I do not know of any medications/drugs that are dangerous to take with marijuana. Marijuana is neither a stimulant nor a depressant; it is a mild hallucinogen, and therefore it does not affect the heart or central nervous system the way other drugs (like cocaine, heroin, oxycodone, speed, Ecstasy, Xanax, etc. do).

When was oxycodone created?

It was created in 1916 in Germany.

Do oxycodone and hydrocodone have similar effects on the brain?

Answer#1Yes, both drugs stimulate the opioid receptors in the brain leading to pain relief.

Oxycodone (CII) is about twice as potent an analgesic an hydrocodone (CIII).

Both may be possessed only with a valid prescription; it is a violation of Federal Law otherwise. Both substances are highly addictive, with eventual physical dependence almost 100% likely.

Is Vicodin stronger then Roxie's?

no. vicodin is hydrocodone where as a roxie is oxycodone. which is a bit more on the strong side than a vicodin.

Mg. to mg. strength of morphine to oxycodone?

To a large extent it depends on the individual. Having had the medi-quacks get me strung out on oxycodone. codeine/hydrocodone, and morphine (240mgs daily + Fentora fast dissolvers) I kicked them all and refuse to ever again do any of the "pain management" regimens/protocols.

Those who claim, and that includes neurologists, anesthesiologists, and all their med-allies, that you can't take narcotics long term on an "as needed" only basis and insist that for effective relief you must take the stuff every day are liars and more interested in personal profit of one kind or another than in your better health and well being. When they start telling you this and that and the other ask them just How The F*** do they know, and what kinds of and how long they have been addicted to opioids...

I still take morphine, and only morphine, and sometimes lots of it too, but when and only when >>>I<<< decide I need it, and have been doing so for more than four years now, and have no issues with tolerance resistance or addiction.

Based on my experience, if you want a buzz, oxycodone is it, I can't stand the stuff, but it certainly does put one in quite a dense fog. For me, even in huge doses, it proved not very effective for real pain relief.

Once again, for me, I want real pain relief (NOT a buzz) and I want it when and only when it reaches the point where I absolutely need some help dealing with it, and morphine provides me incomparable relief with the very least amount of functional debilitation.

You need to be aware that morphine for pain relief works best when it is not taken every day. Never take it more than four days in a row, And for every dose you take, take 30 hours off before your next use. So if you do take it 4 days in a row, you have to take five days in a row off. Follow this and you'll never get strung out on it. and will experience little tolerance issues after your first several months following an "as needed only" regimen. And, no matter how long you have taken morphine on an as needed basis, NEVER take more than 120mgs at a time.

Will hydrocodone-apap 5-325 and hydrocodone ibuprof 7.5 come out the same in a random drug test?

Yes...it is the opiate that the drug test is looking for. The difference in those two drugs is one has acetaminophin and one has ibuprofin. They both have opiate. One has a tiny bit more, but both have it.

How can you get pain management doctor to change my pain med of lorocet to percocet?

Percoset (oxycodone) is stronger than lorcet (hydrocodone) so you need to convince him that you need stronger medication. Tell him that you just arent getting the same pain relief as you used to get when you started taking the pills, he will probably either prescribe stronger hydrocodone pills or swith to oxycodone and prescribe Percoset.

Is it ok to take Oxycontin and metoprolol tartrate together?

now I am taking metoprolol XL 50mg tabs which is time released as is my 60mg oxycontin. the oxy is twice daily where the meto is only once a day. you wanna watch certain antidepressants with this bp med. cough and cold aids should be avoided especially those with pseudephedrin meds.

Is 512 oxycodone stronger than ip 203?

There are some people who claim they are or vice versa claim the ip 203 is strongeer than the 512. When in actuallity the FDA mandates both as a generic Percoet and when a generic is made it has to be identical to the origional so the 512 and ip 203 are both 5 mg of oxycodone (generic name for percocet) and 325 mg acetaminophin (tylenol). So to say one is better than the other is like comparing two identical cars.

How long after snorting oxy will it show up in a drug test?

What is the difference between roxicodone and percocet?

Percocet has the addition of acetominophen in it, Roxi is just the oxy without the acetominophen.

What can you say to get percocet 30s prescribed to you?

There is no such thing as Percocet 30's. What you are thinking of is Roxicodone. That is pure Oxycodone and it comes in 5mg, 15mg, and 30mg. You will need to be seen by a pain management doctor and be evaluated to see if you are in enough pain to get that high of a dosage. I'm a chronic pain patient and I'm on Roxicodone 15. And that was only after extensive testing and going from Codeine to Hydrocodone 5, 7.5, and 10 to Oxycodone 5, 7.5, and 10 to finally Roxicodone 15. Unless you can find a REALLY liberal doctor who is just handing out narcotic scripts, you're out of luck.

On a personal note, if you are trying to get these to get high, you are making it personally EXTREMELY hard for chronic pain patients like myself to get adequate pain relief because of drug addicts like you. It's disgraceful. However, if you are actually in pain, then a doctor should have no problem referring you to a PM doctor and then letting the PM doctor prescribe you what HE thinks is best for you.

A word of advice, don't TELL him you want to start off with 30mg of Oxycodone. You will be labeled as a drug seeker and be red flagged by EVERY hospital and doctor in your general area. Let HIM prescribe what HE thinks is adequate pain relief. If it doesn't work, take it for a week then call him and say it isn't working and you think you either need to come in to be re-evaluated or you need something stronger called in. But they can't call in Oxycodone because it's a CII drug. Watch out for the DEA. That's all I'm saying.
