OxyContin

== == == == Addition by TSD -RAVEN-

Not necessarily - it completely depends on you - your size (weight), tolerance to opiates (if you've ever used it before, had anesthesia during a surgical procedure, been given lower narcotics for pain or an accident, etc.), and how well your body processes it. The biggest factor is overall tolerance and how long you take it. I've been using Percocet for 9 years (highest dosage, 10/325, which is 10mg Oxy and 325 tyelenol), and I get and use between 120 / 150 per month. That's just for breakthrough pain - I use Duragesic patches for primary pain). At the tolerance level I'm at, taking any amount of Percocet is like taking aspirin. I found that after the first 18 months most of the side effects pretty much went away, (a good buzz, too, unfortunately). It no longer makes me drowsy or anything else in the great list of side effects. However, I'm not a small person either - I'm 6' 250lbs, and before using it I had used Oxy in other forms, as well as lower end narcotics for pain. So I'm well tolerant of it. Most people I know with my kind of problems who also use a lot of it also find the more they use it the less side effects really bother them.

In the end though, each person is different, and your medical history pertaining to pain drugs will be another large factor in whether or not it affects you to the point you have problems with decisions. The best course to take if you're concerned is not to put yourself in that position until you're sure you can deal with the effects.

Probably. Addition by Aphlyxion- That depends completely on the person, 5 mg qid, is a comparably small dose, it might make you a little drowsy, but your overall thought processing and decision making skills should not be affected. Addition by Echo646 - It could also have the opposite effect, and make you more awake, but with less of an ability to focus, though I believe this effect is less common. I personally have to take 5-10 mg of oxycodone for chronic pain and still go to classes, but I am still able to comprehend difficult concepts and complete my tasks. I'd say whenever making a decision, add in the fact that you are on a medication that alters your mental state.

Physicians may prescribe a combination of cholesterol-reducing drugs, such as pravastatin and colestipol. Following the directions for how and when to take the drugs is very important. The medicine may not work properly

Medically, you swallow as directed. When I used to abuse them, you snort, smoke and shoot them. Don't recomentd the latter 3, leads to a horrible addiction (as bad as heroin)

As long as one of them is time released you can take the immediate realease on top pf that.since the time relase is low dose and the immediate is for any break through pain you still have

Yes, when I was hired in at my job a few years ago, the drug test results paper had Oxycodone (Percocet) and Oxycontin listed as 2 separate things. I also was drug tested when I was being put on Suboxone to quit doing painkillers, and they were listed as 2 separate things. Drug tests are able to distinguish between the two.

Opiate Withdrawls can last from 5 days to 2 months. Dont let the 2 months thing scare you away from quitting these horrible drugs. It all depends on what opiate you were using, how much and for how long. I am on day 4 of a year and a half of vicodin/percocet and the occasional oxy-contins. After day 5 and 6 you start feeling better. I have gone through this before and its just a matter of having strong will power to get you through it

I'm currently in the 6th WEEK of opiate detox (from a 3+ year habit that culminated with me taking as much as 2500mg/day of oxycodone). Although the acute symptoms have faded, I am still constantly experiencing problems, including profuse night sweats, diarrhea, joint/muscle pain, jitters/tremors and a general feeling of malaise. But I fully understand why: it took me 3 years to get to the point where I could tolerate what would surely be a lethal dose of Oxycontin to most everyone else, so naturally it will take some time for my body to recover from that.

Yes Naltrexone has been known to test positive for opiates in almost all at-home drug screens. I was baffled when I tested my daughter, until I called her doctor and confirmed that Naltrexone can indeed cause a false-positive.

cigarettes by far.

You should double-check what is listed on the label, but Oxycontin is a brand name for time-release oxycodone tablets that contain no acetaminophen (Tylenol).

Oxycodone IS the real name of the medication.

It's technically possible for someone to exhibit an allergic response (hives, difficulty breathing) to codeine, but have no problem taking oxycodone. That said, the odds are probably against it, and as such should only be attempted at the discretion of a trained medical professional (with OTC antihistamines on-hand, just in case). Molecularly speaking, codeine and oxycodone are very similar. Codeine lacks the hydroxy group at the 14- position, and has a 7-8 double bond. Also, the 6- position of codeine contains an alcohol group instead of a carbonyl.

Oxycodone is one of the strongest known pain medications. If you have intractable pain that oxycodone isn't relieving, you need to discuss this with your physician, ASAP.

yes. its a very good high. sniffing it works much faster than eating it. it doesn't burn like other drugs and i personally like the taste of the drip. i would recomend trying it o anyonewho has the curiosity.

Yes, just be smart with your dosages because lorazepam is a strong benzo and benzos are potentiators of opiates, so you won't need as much oxy as normal unless you wanna be nodding balls. If lorazepam is a normal medicine for you that you take on a daily basis, then take as much oxy as normal. If you're not tolerant to benzos, careful on how high you dose.

like you're dying.

The mechanisms of action are so different, there is no answer to this question.

absolutely-not a problem,you will find that both med's analgesic,sedative propertys will be increased greatly.if anything they compliment each other greatly.

actually they do make pure oxycodone's. they come in 5's, 15's, and 30's. so there are 30 mg percocets that are pure percocet, no Tylenol.

The only true 30mg percs are the V cut(worst ones to snort), the a215 only have 28.7mg and the mboxm30 has 27.0 mg

warning the strongest dose of percocet is (10 milligrams oxycodone 650 milligrams acetaminophen (10/650)) to get one gram oxycodone is 100 percocets and 65 grams of acetaminophen THIS WILL KILL YOU FASTER THAN DOROTHY DROPPING A HOUSE ON THE WICKED WICH OF THE EAST. acetaminophen at high doses is FATAL it WILL DESTROY YOR LIVER. "." end of story the only way to get pure oxycodone is with Oxycontin and it is time release over 12 hours. PLEASE DONT KILL YOURSELF Remember even if you don't love you someone else does. don't hurt them.

It depends on which manufacturer made it. Teva brand are similar in color, but are shaped like a brick with round ends. Endo brand also are similar in color and shape, but they are thicker, and Watson brand look exactly the same, but say ABG on the pill instead of OC.

You can't. Perhaps you did not know you were taking an oxycodone product.

~ALSO if you paid attention to mythbusters, you would know that poppyseeds can create a positive result for opiates on a drug test. Oxycodone does not have products. Oxycodone IS AN opiate.

That depends on what you mean by "tolerate." There are usually many more milligrams of oxycodone in an Oxy-Contin than in a Percocet because the Percocet dissolves all at once, but the action of the Oxy-Contin is sustained for many more hours.

Here is a convenient chart detailing how long your system retains Oxycodone:

Typically, the short answer is at least 3 days or longer.

I have been on both of these meds since I was in a serious car crash 3 years ago. I have taken a standard work drug test via Hair or Pee test.. These meds don't show unless tested for the specific drug. Most test just look for the standard drugs..

in Canada they are, at the end of Feb. they will be taken off the market and replaced with a new pill that fights pain like oxycontin does but won't get you addicted or high, also my pharmacist told me these new pills will be tamper proof, if you try to crush them they will turn to a jelly like substance and pretty much useles for recreational use.
