patient should have easy, direct access to the relief of their pain .
Best plan, of course, is not to smoke it. Hiding addictions for a job application may lose you the job when the addiction is discovered.
On a routine drug screen is there any difference between percocet and hydrocodone on the results?
Yes. There are particular panels on drug screen tests. Hydrocodone (vicoden) tests positive for general "opiates". There is a special panel for oxycodone.
Will 15 mg of percocet and 5mg of percocet show as the same on a drug test?
If you take oxycodone 30mg or 5mg the drug test will show up with just oxycodone in your system. The average life span in your urine is 3 days. The only type of testing that would show quantity is a toxicology test. Who is gonna get that? Someone who died of an overdose. Fyi - Oxycodone is percocet. If your taking a 30mg tablet you will not have any Tylenol in the pill. Percocet is oxycodone and Tylenol. And usually is prescribed as 5mg. Percodan is oxycodone and ibuprofen.
If you are worried that your doctor will find out you are taking much more oxycodone than you are prescribed, don't. If you are worried about the actual drug showing up in a drug test, stop 3 days before the test.
Do you want to come off opioids completely? It depends where the pain is but there are other options such as anti-inflammatory medications, implantable pumps, nerve blocks, etc. Also some people get relief from physical therapy, massage or acupuncture.
Depending on what you take now you can switch to a long acting pain medication such as MS Contin or Oxycontin and then you would likely require smaller doses of a short acting medication for breakthrough pain. You may also need to take Methadone during the process of coming off your meds. It's very important to see a doctor who specializes in pain management or go to a pain clinic where they are experienced in dealing with different kinds of pain and medication issues. Most regular health care providers are not fluent or comfortable with managing complex pain issues especially when opioids are involved. It would be likely in that case that you would not receive adequate pain management and would end up in the same situation you are now.
Good luck!
Is it legal to take pain killers like oxycodone at work?
If your work does not require you to operate vehicles, heavy machinery, tools, etc., it probably is technically legal. However...
If you cause injury/bodily harm, you may be subject to various negligence charges at the criminal level, in that you knew you were taking a drug that impedes your ability to operate such things.
Also, most companies have restrictions on what drugs you can use in the workplace that are not laws but may apply just the same. The problem is that, while being out of control at work is obviously a bad idea, it's very hard for the workplace to restrict access to medication.
Difficult question.

Is ac cough tussin and oxycodone the same?
Robitussin-AC, is a prescription antitussive containing Guaifenesin and Codeine.
5 mL of Robitussin-AC contains 100 mg of Guaifenesin, an expectorant 10 mg of Codeine, a cough suppressant. A normal dose of Robitussin-AC is 5-10 mL every 4-6hrs.
Oxycodone (Percocet, Percodan, OxyIR, OxyContin) is a significantly different drug compared to codeine despite their chemical similarities. Oxycodone is semi-synthetic opioid partially derived from Codeine, a naturally occurring opiate alkaloid found in opium poppy. Oxycodone is a far more potent opioid commonly used for postoperative and chronic pain. Approximately 10 mg of oral Codeine is equivalent to 1 mg of oral Oxycodone.
Codeine is a more effective antitussive than oxycodone thus codeine is commonly used in cough medications and for mild pain.

What inscripts are on a 30 mg oxycodone pill?
There are two different 30 MG oxycodone pills. I have a prescription for Oxycodone 30 MG HCL and my pill is small, round, and blue. On the one side it has nothing and on the other side it has an A on top, a line through the middle, and 215 on the bottom. These are the generic ones which are the same as the name brand. If im not mistaken the name brand ones are the same except the imprints are M on to, a line through the middle, and a 30 on the bottom.
Is perkocet 10 mg stronger than oxycodone 5mg?
There is really no way to compare these two drugs, as far as strength is concerned, because they are two completely different drugs with different effects, Xanex is a drug that is prescribed for anxiety, panic attacks, etc., and also has muscle-relaxing effects. Percocet (oxycodone) is a pain reliever. Both are strong drugs, but in different ways. Both, however, are physically addicting.
