Is it safe to consume Oxycontin and penicillin at the same time?

It's never safe to take heroin....well that's what they say. I found heroin to be quite safe, in any amount, and have absolutely no interaction whatsoever with my hefty prescription regimen. It has enhanced my life in many ways. Dean's list, love life off the charts, and it has opened my eyes to philanthropic pursuits. Obviously those who claim it's addicting have never tried it. All in all, heroin is obviously a wonder drug the pharmaceutical cartel would bad mouth lest they lose their inestimable profits. Is that a needle hanging from my arm? (Why'd my mother leave me?) Gotta go now.

Why did they change Oxycontin from oc to op?

Oxycontin OP is the new Oxycontin pill that makes it impossible to abuse. You cant IV it, you can't snort it, and you can't smoke it. You have to swallow it as it is prescribed. If you regularly abuse Oxycontin or Opana swallowing won't make due, for it is an extended release pill.

I have read that some people had concerns about an opiate blocker being added to the new Oxycontin (OP), well they will not be adding any opiate blockers/Narcan. I found it, when they originally planned the new reformulation there was talk of them putting Narcan in the OC so that people could not shoot it up, along the same lines of Opana. But apparently they changed their minds because there is no Narcan in the new formulation, just the cellulose stuff to make it near impossible to crush and snort.

Below is the ingredients for the new formulated OP Oxycontin:

How to write a prescription for Oxycontin 30 mg 120count?

Unfortunately for the person asking this question, the answer is you don't - your

physician does. My guess is that you are asking this question because you have somehow managed to obtain blank prescription forms and plan on writing the prescription all on your own.

Please know this is fraud and you'll get busted about 35-40% of the time.

Remember the arrest of Noelle Bush? The daughter of Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, you know - the Niece of President George W. Bush?? She was arrested for prescription fraud.

FYI - Prescription Fraud is punishable by up to 5 years in prison

Is clonazepam in same category as Percocet?

no percocet is a pain medication and clonzepam is a benzodiazapie like anxiety medication

How long does it take for Oxycontin to get into your system?

OxyContin, Purdue Pharma's controlled-release form of the painkiller oxycodone, usually begins entering the bloodsteam within 15 minutes of ingestion and usually reaches "first sign of relief" level within 30-45 minutes. Peak concentration and effectiveness is reached in approximately 2 hours, and the dose contionues to be effective for 12 hours. (OxyContin is designed for use in a long-term program of relief for chronic pain under medical supervision, and should not be used as an occasional medication.)

What is the difference between oxycodone and oxycodone er?

Methadone is a synthetic Opioid that is extremely potent and takes a long time to metabolize. It is a different drug that Oxycodone. Methadone is mainly used as a treatment for heroin and other opiate addicts. It can be administered once a day and we keep withdrawal effects from coming on. However, methadone itself is extremely addictive, and the methadone patient will be swapping, lets say, a heroin addiction for a methadone addiction. But methadone can be administered in a controlled and much safer environment.

Oxycodone ER is just Oxycodone extended release or something like Oxycontin. The point of this drug is to release oxycodone continuously over a period of time. The difference between the two drugs is just simple that they are two totally different drugs. They do produce some similar effect, but when you break it down, Methadone is totally different than Oxycodone. Their chemical makeup is very different I believe.

Is there aspirin in Oxycontin?

No, you will not find aspirin in Oxycontin unless you are taking the brand names Percodan-Demi, or Percodan. These do contain aspirin.

How much blood can you swallow before you die?

I've read that you can drink about a pint before you get sick... I don't know about death though.

Can you take Oxycontin 80mg tabs and snort then safely?

I assume your trying to get high, so that being the case your best bet is to just eat the pill. Snorting or smoking anything will greatly reduce the effectiveness of the drug. If the pill you speak of is blue with an OP on one side, and an 80 on the other, this drug is time release, and you WILL OD if your body is not used to the narcotic. Being that you asked if you can snort it, I assume your body is not tolerant. Be careful, and good luck

If you snort 80 mg of OxyContin a day will it be out of your system in 2-4 days for a urine or blood test?

More than likely 5-6 days for the urine, but could be up to 10 if you're a chronic user. A blood test will stop showing levels as soon as the drug leaves your bloodstream. Urine is a little more complex, as it tests for metabolites rather than the actual presence of the drugs in your system.

Does Oxycontin and hydrocodone come up the same on a basic urine drug test?

Yes they do, both will show up as opiates in your system. The person administering the test won't know if your on Oxycontin, Hydrocodone or even Heroin. It will just give a positive result for opiates like any opiate drug will. You cannot tell which opiate from a urine test.

Is Oxycontin the same drug as Fentanyl?

You can, but it's typically not recommended since both drugs are chronic pain medications generally prescribed in their timed-release form. Either one or the other is used - OxyContin lasts up to 12 hours, while Fentanyl, generally prescribed as a transdermal patch, can last up to 72 hours. Oral Fentanyl and OxyContin can used, but again it's generally not done unless the Fentanyl is in pill form and short acting. Fentanyl is more likely to be prescribed as the primary chronic pain med with Percocet (which has Oxycodone, the base drug for OxyContin, the time release version) for breakthrough pain.

As long as you're using one as a timed-release drug and the other in short acting form (4-6 hours), it's okay. It's using both together in timed-release versions where problems can arise.

It is perfectly ok to use both, contrary to above. I suffer from chronic pain, and take 20mg Oxycontin 2 times a day, and apply a 75mcg fentanyl patch every 72 hours. I have been on each seperatly and I find several pain "holes". but on both, I can actually function to 95% of my original capabilities.

Actually the above poster is correct. I take 240mg of Oxycontin a day and my dr prescribed 100umg fentanyl to better even out the levels of narcotics I had in my system. Now this just happened to be what worked for me so you should ask your doctor before trying. Fentanyl is some bad mojo if abused.

How long will benzodiaepines show up in the same urine sample?

Benzos like oxazepam, lorazepam, diazepam, etc. each vary, but in general benzodiazepines stay in your blood, and therefore urine, for a long time; anywhere from three weeks to two months, depending on the drug and individual metabolic rate. The Non-benzo alternative to benzos, zopiclone (Immavane?) and zolpidem (Ambien) are pretty effective sleep aids that most places don't test for; even if they do, they are usually out of your blood within 60 - 72 hours after ingestion.

Can Oxycontin be used for shortness of breath in hospice patients?

Yes, it is possible. It also can cause shallow breathing. I doses above the recommended levels it can cause breathing to stop and possible death.

Can you take antidepressants with oxycodone I am taking Oxynorm for my chronic back pain and i am very depressed and crying all the time and was wondering if there is anything i can take?

Yes, I have been on oxycodone for approx 8 yrs and taking antidepressants also for the entire time. It may take some time to find the right one and correct dosage for you but it definitely is available. Explain to your doctor what is going on and they can get you started on them. Depression is common among people who suffer from chronic pain. Good luck

What does an Oxycontin 60mg look like?

It's a sort of bright reddish orangey color. It says OC on one side and 60 on the other. Sorry to tell you but purdue pharmacy's do not make a 60mg oxycontin. But roxycodone does have a 60mg oxycodone pill that i can't rmember what it looks like.So if it says OC on one side it will only say 10,20,40,80,160 on the other side.* *Edit from Tjeyw721: Actually, the first answer is correct. Around here, they're called "cherry bombs." I have seen them. They are fairly new. They also come in 30mgs, which are a tannish color, which I've also seen. They are legit, they have 30 on one side and OC on the other. Same with the 60mgs. (60 on one side, OC on the back).

What are slang terms for Oxycontin?

Tango and Cash, China Girl, China Town, Dance Fever, Poison, Murder 8,

King Ivory, Jack Pot, He-Man, Friend, Great Bear, Goodfellas, Apache

These are also associated with Fentanyl but plus heroin (a very deadly combo):

  • China White
  • TNT
  • Poison

This is a very dangerous drug, take under the care if a reputable Pain Management Doctor.

Will 5 mg of oxycodone get you high?

It all depends on your body weight and tolerance. If you've never taken Vicodin before, 5mg orally (taking the pill whole) would probably produce a slight buzz/dizziness. Crushing and snorting the pill would yield stronger and more immediate results.

What is the difference between Oxycontin and Oxycodone Hydrochloride?

generic have a different binder which is harder to snort

Oxycontin is pure oxycodone, while Watson brand oxycodone is genaric and contains acetominofen which is Tylenol. if you are using it recreationally id suggest staying away from genaric pills with acetominofen because it can become toxic to the liver causing it to shut down in high doses.

I am not sure I understand your question. As far as Oxycodone (instant release), I don't believe Purdue, the maker of brand name Oxycontin even makes a brand name Oxcodone.

If you are talking about Oxycontin (controlled release) which is released into your system slowly, it was originally produced by the Purdue company. At this time, they have given Watson permission to make, sell and distribute this drug, so I am assuming that it is made to Purdues quality and control.

Many people get confused as to what the difference is between oxycodone and Oxycontin.

Oxycodone is the name of the drug. It can be combined with acetaminphen (Percocet, Tylox, to name a few) or aspirin (Percodan is one brand name). It is also combined in cough surpressants and other medications.

Oxycontin (the "contin" means continious) is sold in different strengths, and is used alone soley for time released pain relief. This medications is suppose to last for up to 12 hours, but many times people have episodes of "breakthrough pain" and they are also given oxycodone to help get them through, until their next dose of the contolled release med.

It is important that you never break or chew Oxycontin, as you will then get the entire dose which could cause an overdose.

How do you increase your adderall buzz?

The effect will increase with anything alkaline, such as baking soda or calcium pills. The easiest way is just to take Tums or Rolaids; it tastes better and will increase the bioavailability of amphetamine in your system. Also, avoid taking adderall with anything acidic like fruit juices, especially citrus, as these increase the acidity in your stomach and reduce the effect of the drug.

If an Oxycontin user touches you can they transfer the drug through the skin and pores?

The only way that would be possible is if they had at least a moderate amount on their skin and they touched ( or more likely,RUBBED) your mucous membranes. For example, if they had quite a bit on their penis and inserted it in your vagina as the vagina has a lot of mucous membranes. Casual touching? No.Not possible.

What is stronger Lortab Oxycontin or vicodin?

Lortab is the brand name for hydrocodone and acetaminophen (tylenol). Hydrocodone is not the same as oxycodone and oxycodone is much stronger than hydrocodone. Oxycodone drugs include OxyContin, Percocet, etc.

So a simple answer, oxycodone is stronger.
