OxyContin

No difference, except in the naming. The active ingredient in Roxicodone is oxycodone, so essentially they are one and the same. Oxycodone is also found in Percocet, OxyContin, OxyFast, etc. Some of these meds are short acting, while OxyContin is a sustained release medication. Also worth mentioning is Roxicodone has no APAP, similar to OxyIR, and is often administered to chronic pain patients with liver problems.

Based on my own personal experiences together with some of the reading I have done... Oxy is roughly twice as strong as Hydro. So with that said, 30mg of Oxy would roughly equal 60mg of hydro. Although 60mg of hydro seems to like quite a bit. Since hydro is always combined with APAP (whereas oxy can be in a pure form) and to be quite frank, although closely related and similar, they are two different drugs and have their own effects. Sometimes I prefer hydro over Oxy because of the euphoria it gives me. Where as Oxy gives me good euphoria but tends to lay me out more ... It really has a lot to do with the individual and their tolerance, their preferences... I hope this helps. Sorry I wrote so much.

No. It contains hydrocodone (an opioid narcotic) and acetaminophen. No added sulfa is on the ingredients list for Norco.

2mg hydromorphone is equivalent to about 5-6mg oxycodone. Hydromorphone is more for the milligram but 6mg Oxycontin will probably produce a stronger high than 2mg hydromorphone. Or at least it has in my experience.

good question but i dont know

Hydrocodone is a full agonist Buprinorphine is a partial agonist/antagonist

*I don't know if I'm doing this right, but Ill answer anyways- hydrocodone is an opiate...yaknow, oxy's heroin, vic, perc etc. when you are addicted and you want to get off, the doctor prescribes subutex/suboxone (Suboxone includes naltrexone) It is a partial synthetic opiate and attaches to your receptor sites so that you don't have withdrawl basically. It binds really tight to the receptor sites, so if you were to take say a hydro, the buprenorphin (subutex) would kick it out cuz its stronger. trust me.

^ Just as said^ if you take the sub and then try and take a full agonist such as hydro or even heroin the bupe in the sub will not budge and you wont get the desired affect. (the only exception being if you only did a very small amount of suboxone or subutex).

now flip it. If you take a dose of hydro heroin Oxycontin anything and then take some suboxone the buprenorphine is going to knock those other opiates right off your receptors and you will go through withdrawal. After 30mins to an hour the Bupe will situate itself and you will feel better but don't try it, it's really not something you want to test out and it's a waste of money.

It absolutely can. And I've done plenty of it, so I have credibility in speaking because I am a user arguing against a conventional-userist standpoint. Most meth heads would probably tell you no way, but then again try and find them in 5 years. Ritalin elevates your heart rate (on a varying degree depending on how much you abuse), and more importantly/damaging it causes an irregular heartbeat (in as little as 5-10mg when abused). So, it short, if you take more than your body can handle, Ritalin can absolutely kill you on the spot. More than likely though, it'll just cause some juicy complications later on in life (I'm willing to bet on the heart area). But hey, I'm not a doctor, just a med student.

depends if you have a tolerance or not. If you have been taking them for a long time, i may not do very much but help with your pain. BUT, if you have never taken them before it will prob kill you.

Prunes and check what you eat. You can also use the small laxatives they have at the pharmacy.

You can take these together. Remember that your mood disorder makes you more likely to become addicted to things. Be extra careful taking the narcotics. Take them just as the doctor said and do not take extra.

I hope so because I picked up both from my pharmacy at the same time and the pharmacist didn't advise me not to.

None of the internet forums seem to give a straight answer, so I thought I might as well try it. I have noticed a lot of headaches and definitely have not lost weight. Anyone else with similar experiences?

If you crush it and put water on it and it doesn't GEL UP! then yes, you can dilute it with water and inject it, but you need to know how much you can handle or you will OD and die very quickly. Once that plunger on the needle pushes all the drug into your arm the time for choices is over!

yes, oxycodone/acetaminophen is the same as percocet. actually percocet is just a brand name for oxycodone/acetaminaphen. The reason why a bottle would say oxycodone/acetaminophen and not percocet is because the pills are generic and don't have a brand name.

the worst will b over in 3-4 days if u can get sum methadone and use small amounts carefully it will help withdrawl but stop the methadone after 4 days if u can id do 40mgs methadone 1st day 30 the 2nd 20 the 3rd & 10 the last DONT MIX METHADONE & PRECOCET

Unfortunately, Oxycontin does not come in generic form, and it's timed released action is patented and very expensive. Well that is not entirely correct as Oxycontin is not the only time released version of oxycodone, it does however have it's own patented release compound. Put this way lots of pharmacies will fill an Oxycontin RX with a generic time released oxycodone ...a similar sized pill of similar color per dose. In fact at one recent point there was generic owned by Purdue because all the other generics had stopped. Now all the sudden some ar back again it is crazy! Plus I hear from reliable sources that Oxycontin is now radically changed, the new ones even look new as they show the initials "OP" rather than "OC" on the new tablets I suppose the OP stands for oxycodone/purdue but unlike the originals, supposedly these new ones simply can not be abused in the ways the originals were (ie injected or snorted) I read they are now compounded in a gooey base that can't be crushed into a powder. It remains to be seen I suppose what happens to the generics still fighting to hang on. I can see the feds making the new "OP" pills the gold standard for anti abuse and force the generics into meeting a new spec or else face extinction. That is just a shame for patients that can not afford the brand name or even their share of the brand name if their RX provider caps off at a level well under that price! I can't see Purdue being granted a monopoly on this. It's an old drug well past the patent's expiration I'm sure, the only patent in play is the time release compound. How hard can it be to come up with more versions of a time release anti abuse gimicks ...maybe not even a goo? Perhaps a binary compound where a drug destroying agent sits harmlessly in embedded micropellets that will pass on through a person's digestive tract as long as the pill is swallowed as designed, but should anyone try crushing, heating, or grinding and the destructive agent is released all over the narcotic and instantly ruins it! Wll one of the generics already had a version that was way tougher to abuse than anything else, so much so that just like the new OP pills there were immediatly lots of complaints that not only could the drug not be separated for abuse, but that it also was not working well at all! The theory was too much stayed in compound instead of getting into the bloodstreams of legitimate patients! So now what? Patients will have to get dose increases to make up for these improved drugs inability to release 100% of the intended dose? More half baked ideas?

Are you kidding me opana is one of the most powerful narcotic opiate pain medications on the market they are so powerful in fact that they are designed to be slowly released in your body over a period of 12 hours from a single dose so in short yes you get high off of opana. so be very careful with this medication it is very powerful. I can not stress enough if you are not familiar with this medication and have never taken it to be very careful overdose/DEATH are very common with this medication due to its extreme power and effect on the central nervous system most common cause of death due too overdose with this medication is respiratory failure (your lungs become paralyzed and you suffocate to death) With cardiac arrest coming in at a close second because it relaxes the heart rate and blood pressure to such an extent that it causes the heart to stop.

what qualifies me to answer this question Im on opana this very second and i study every medication i'm prescribed to a very extreme extant. always study meds your planning on taking. Its your body and life and sometimes doctors have alternative motivations and don't always have your best interest at the top of their list

Usually 80mg OC's are only prescribed to terminally ill patients with a high tolerance for the drug already. I would not recommend taking over 30mg of OC at a time if you don't already have a tolerance; otherwise, there's a good chance you'll get sick and throw up the pill.

That being said, the high for an 80mg depends on your tolerance. With no tolerance, I would expect the effects to last around 6 hours, peaking around 90 minutes.

Methadone blocks the effects of Oxycontin and other opiates.

Why are you on Methadone and Oxycontin in the first place? And how much of each? Then you will have a more accurate answer than the above.

Well I might not be around to get your answer to my question so here it is:

Methadone is NOT an antagonist acting substance nor even a partial antagonist like SUBUXONE (buprenorphine). Methadone is used as replacement therapy for opiate addicts. It is typically more manageable and longer acting than other opiates.

If you are on both at the same time then you are feeling both of their effects and may have a higher tolerance now (which if you are not on methadone for opiate replacement, then you should talk to your doctor because you are on a quick and horrific road of opiate abuse if this is the case). If you were on Methadone and then switched to Oxycontin, it may be the case that your methadone dosage was stronger than the Oxycontin dosage you took and therefore you now have a higher tolerance.

It depends entirely on the person's tolerance. For someone like me who uses the highest dose and goes through 120/150 per month, taking 5 would reduce my pain a bit faster, but that's about it. For me and others like me, it's like taking aspirin.

However, for someone not tolerant to the effects of opiates, it could easily send the person into respiratory arrest, leading to brain damage and/or death if not revived in time. It would of course depend on the person and the dosage of Percocet involved.

In someone not tolerant, they would likely get drowsy within 20 - 30 minutes, then eventually pass out, then if susceptible enough, respiratory failure (due to the nervous system being depressed by the opiates) would eventually lead to cardiac arrest and death.

No, oxycodone will show up as an opiate and methadone will only show up as methadone.

No, infants should not take oxycodone without first consulting with a qualified medical professional. Oxycodone is a potent opioid pain medication that can have serious side effects, including respiratory depression, even in adults. Infants are particularly vulnerable to the respiratory depressant effects of opioids, which can be life-threatening. Therefore, it is crucial to seek medical advice before giving any medication, including oxycodone, to an infant. Additionally, it is important to follow dosing instructions carefully and to monitor the infant closely for any signs of adverse effects.
