How long should you wait after taking Oxycontin and breastfeeding?
If you are taking Oxycontin while breastfeeding you are giving the baby the drug as well. First thing you have to keep in mind, Oxycontin is a drug that is time released, therefore meaning it stays in your system for a longer period of time so it can slowly release the drug into your system. It will actually stay in your body for 4-5 days. It Will also vary on how you do it, take it normally (the way you are suppose too) chew it, snort it, inject it etc...
The pain killing ingredient in Oxycontin is Oxycodone. Percocet has 5mg of Oxycondone in it and the Oxycontin has the same amount of Oxycodone as the amount of mg's Oxy's you are taking e.g. 20mg Oxy= 20mg of Oxyxodone, 40's = 40mg and so on...
From my research in total I would suggest NOT taking Oxycontin at all while breast feeding. However i did find ONE research companies that states the following"
Oxycodone is excreted into human breast milk. Six healthy postpartum women received a combination product of oxycodone and acetaminophen, one or two capsules every 47 hours, while breast-feeding their newborn infants (4). Maternal plasma levels were in the expected range of 14 to 35 ng/mL, and milk concentrations ranged from <5 to 226 ng/mL. Peak milk concentrations occurred 1.52.0 hours after the first dose, then at variable times after multiple doses. Although a large degree of variability was present, the mean milk:plasma ratio was 3.4:1. No mention was made of any effects observed in the nursing infants.
Although occasional maternal doses of oxycodone for analgesia probably present a minimal risk for adverse effects during nursing, infants should be monitored for gastrointestinal effects, sedation, and changes in feeding patterns."
I am not a doctor but I can say this, I have been on Oxycontin for many years for major back problems and my wife had to start taking them for pain due to Fybromialsia and had no choice but to take them during her pregnancy. They are VERY EASY to get addicted too. Needless to say my son was born with an addiction and even though my wife could not breast feed, she was told by nurses and doctors NOT to breast feed while taking this sort of medication. You can give the baby a dependence on the Oxycodone and once you stop breast feeding your baby will need the drugs or will go into withdrawals and in worst case scenario could die.
Well I hope my answer has helped some people. In closing I would like to say, if there is any way you could deal with your pain with some other type of medication I would suggest using something else besides Oxycontin, it is highly addictive. You may at first get a bit of a buzz (for a lack of better word) but once you are addicted the buzz feeling goes away but you still will need to have them or you will get MAJOR withdrawals.
How long is Oxycontin detected in a drug test when snorted?
I have been using Oxycontin for many years by taking the pill orally, for the past year I have changed from taking it by mouth to removing the coating on the pill, crushing it to a fine powder and snorting it, the same way someone would snort a line of cocaine The thing is I don't take it and never have taken this type of medication for pain like its prescribed for, I took it mainly just for fun because of the effects it has on me. Recently it has been a burden on my life being addicted to this stuff so I have decided to quit, I have tried many times cold turkey with no success I just keep going back to it because the withdrawal symptoms are so horrible, I mean man are they bad, especially for someone who has taken it for so long, but the best thing I ever did was get off this stuff, it ruled me life and was all I thought of, it consumed all my money and almost ruined my marriage, I'm just glade I have such a good woman at home who believed in me and knew if I kept trying I would get off this stuff and I finally have... to get to the point... I was taking 80 mg - 120 mg (even more some times) a day for a year by snorting it, of course that was stretched out over the day, I was snorting 20 mg - 40 mg each time I used during the day, from the time I stopped using to the time I actually felt good again and didn't have any outstanding detox symptoms took 8 days (8 days of hell) after the 8 days all I felt was a little stiff in the back and a little tired but with a good diet and a little exercise I was feeling good again, back to normal. 1 year of use = 8 days of horrible detox = feeling alright again Of course I should mention I had to seclude myself from the world for 2 1/2 weeks by going to my parents who live in a very remote part of eastern Canada where I couldn't get any Oxycontin even if I wanted to along with a 19 day program at a drug treatment center in Southern Ontario, my life is back in order and quiting Oxycontin was the best thing I ever did... good luck if your going thru the same thing and remember you can do it, life's better without it...trust me I know.
How are chylomicrons metabolized?
Lipids are fats, that together with carbohydrates and proteins make up the main parts of cells in organic life. They are a fuel source. Cholesterol is a lipid.
Fat takes longer to break down in the intestinal tract because it does not break down in water. The pancreas secretes an enzyme called lipase that helps to break the fat molecules down into smaller molecules to ease digestion and absorption by the body.
It doesn't matter, if you're shooting cocaine!!! Your life is already over.

How strong is suboxone compared to oxy?
Suboxone, or the compound buprenorphine and naloxone, is much stronger than oxycodone. Oxycodone is 15-20 times stronger than codeine and a dose of just 1.5mg-2mg of oxycodone would equal 30mg of codeine. Buprenorphine is 400 times stronger than codeine and a dose of just 0.075 would equal 30mg of codeine. Buprenorphine is 40 times stronger than morphine and a dose of .25mg would equal a dose of 10mg of morphine.
Oxycodone lies in the middle of analgesic medicines with aspirin at the bottom to carfentayl at the top (only used to sedate large animals).
I am not a doctor just someone who knows a lot about drugs. Please consult a professional with any medical questions.
Will taking oxycodone pass a urine test screening for opana?
Oxymorphone(Opana) is metabolized in the liver to 6-hydroxyoxymorphone and oxymorphone-3-glucuronide. Oxycodone is metabolized to α and β oxycodol; oxymorphone, then α and β oxymorphol and noroxymorphone; and noroxycodone, then α and β noroxycodol and noroxymorphone (N-desmethyloxycodone).[2] (14-Hydroxydihydrocodeine that in turn becomes 14-Hydroxydihydromorphine)
As you can see both drugs metabolize into many different variations. When it comes down to an ordinary drug test, all these variations can be tested for and distuinguished from eachother, but the test results itself may just show positive for Opiates, or it may display the metabolites as well, indicating both Oxymorphone and Oxycodone use.

What is the difference between percocet and Oxycontin?
percocet is 5mg of oxycodone, Oxycontin is 10 mg and up and doesn't contain oxycodone, just Oxycontin which is stronger
Percocet is oxycodone & acetaminophen; Oxycontin is actually the trade marked name of time-released oxycodone. Roxicodone is the immediate release form of oxycodone. There are many different names nowadays for hydrocodone (III) and oxycodone (II), with many times the only differences being 1)milligram amount of the narcotic, and 2)what it is mixed with; acetaminophen, ibuprofen, aspirin, sometimes different cough syrup ingredient's, such as promethazine, pseudoephedrine, guaifenesin, etc..., and 3)It has become very popular when the patent runs out on drugs for the companies to make an extended-release formula, or instant(faster)release to continue profits for the share holders. now I'm really getting off base..Oh! Most importantly, they are spelled different, look different, uuhh, they...

Can a drug test tell the difference between oxycodone and Oxycontin?
If it's a complete lab test done, then yes, it can distinguish between all the opiates, all the benzodiazpenes (sp?) Most drug tests will just show up as "opiates" in your system, but it depends on how many the panel checks for. The smallest ones are 3, I know with drug tests if you're in trouble with the law they only do a five panel test. My doctor did a 12 panel test wit me and was able to differentiate when I told him the only opiate I took was my prescribed Lortabs. Then he said, "Well, why is oxycodone showing up then?" :/

Can you take clonidine and Oxycontin?
Honestly I would not do that. Taking a pain killer like Oxycontin and a clotapin which is totally opposite could result in an overdose. I have had a few friends that have od and died taking xanax and Oxycontin. I Know clonopin isn't exactly the same but the effects are somewhat similar. I wouldn't advise it but if you do make sure you keep yourself awake and not fall asleep until all of the affects are gone. Two of my friends heart just stopped mixing drugs like that because they took them at the same time. Hopefully you take this advise. It is not good to do either drug unless you have too but please don't mix them it is very dangerous.
