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.
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).

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?

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.

How strong is a 20mg pill of Oxycontin?
It depends on whether you're opiate naive or opiate tolerant.

How do you reduce the effects of cotton fever?

How soon do Oxycontin withdrawals start?
Oxycontin withdrawls start within hours of not using the drug. The symptoms of withdrawls are similar to the flu, but about a hundred times worse. As a recovering Ox addict, the best suggestion I can make is not to turn to Suboxone or Methadone. You will have the same withdrawls coming off of those. Here are some tips to kick the problem: -Lots of water and 7 UP. This will flush the drug out quicker and shorten the detox period from 7 days to about 3. -Tylenol PM whenever you want. Sleep during the day, sleep during the nite, sleep all the time. Your body will detox whether you are awake or asleep. -Anti Nausea medicine is a good idea. -Some recommend Anti Diareah medicine, but I recommend buying more toilet paper. Get all that crap out, no pun intended, but seriously, the more you can flush out of your system the better. -Have supportive family or friends around to keep you from running out the door to get a quick fix. Because believe me you will be thinking about nothing but getting high, again this is where the sleep comes in. -Clonazepam .5mg will also help sleep, as far as I know you can mix the two (Tylenol PM and Clonazepam) together safely. But this may vary between each person, please consult a doctor before you do this. Also the Clonazepam helps take off the shakes and the cold sweats. -Last but not least, around day two you will experience the worst headache ever, nothing will help this, but you can reduce it. A cold pack or cold wash cloth on the forehead and back of the neck will help. The reason this headache happens is because Ox makes the veins in your head contract and become very small, when the drug is leaving your system the veins swell and cause this terrible headache. The cold on the forehead and back of the neck contracts the veins and shrinks them, thus helping with the pain of the headache.
Can you snort Oxycontin generic?
