Common Questions and Answers about Can you mix oxycodone and vicodin

oxycontin

Avatar m tn Oxycontin is pure oxycodone in a time release form while percoccet is a mix of oxycodone and another OTC pain reliever. Oxycodone is a stronger narcotic then the narcotic in vicodin which is hydrocodone. Both will cause WD. The WD from oxycodone was always much worse for me then hydrocodone but some say it's the same. What form and strength of oxy were you taking?
Avatar n tn u should not only for the reason that everyday forward puts another day between you and your addiction so i say you keep moving forward, you can not expect to not have any w/ds, and you and you can not use every time you start to have them or you are never going to be clean, theres no magic pill thats going to take your w/ds away, and if you pick up a pill everytime w/ds get rough you are never going to get clean.. .taking pills=not clean....
Avatar f tn 5 mg of hydrocodone with 200 mg of Advil. No tylenol at all, and I find it works much better for me. You can also take pepcid or zantac with your meds to help with the upset stomach.
Avatar f tn Hi! The oxycodone will work well for you if not better than the Vicodin. No,you will not have any withdrawal from the Vicodin . Hope the new medicine helps you!
Avatar f tn See if he will give you 30 Mg Roxicodone which is just Oxycodone without the tylenol. they are strong and if you do need a little kicker just take one extra strength otc tylenol. as the tylenol makes the active drug more potent.

Avatar m tn I can tell you on my 5 day of withdrawl I developed a dry cough and throat tickle...so it is a withdrawl syptom, but it will not last.
Avatar n tn It wont make any difference that you did the methadone as you indicate. And Traycee is correct in that most things just lump into the opiate pile for withdrawals.....the immodium helps nicely to do its own job and it is also a miniature narcotic..... You are basically withdrawing from the oxy/hydro mix - but they are all narcotics - - - quite similar. -- treat them the same way .........
Avatar n tn Hi James and welcome to the Pain Forum: If your Liver Enzymes are high then you definitely do NOT want to add Percocet, Norco or Roxanol to the mix. These drugs have Tylenol in them and this will only harm you further. You need a pain reliever without the Tylenol such as Oxycodone, Oxycontin, Morphine or Methadone. Other than the Oxycodone, the other medication that I have mentioned are what is called the " Big Dog" pain relievers.
Avatar m tn Oxycodone will detox pretty fast, methadone is much longer acting. First, I have a few questions. Do you have someone to help you remain accountable, meaning a person to keep you from abusing methadone? I am a methadone addict, so that is a concern for me. Short term, I have seen methadone work, though my closest friend used it for oxymorphone and Oxycotin, but I don't think it would be much different. I believe you need a solid plan and aftercare for bupe or methadone to help.
Avatar m tn i was like 2 weeks pregnant when i took Vicodin. and didnt know i was... well i told my OB/GYN and he said id be ok..im now 9 weeks and everything is fine. besides at that earily of a time i dont think it would affect the baby yet....
Avatar f tn are just trademarked names for the generics (hydrocodone and oxycodone)...also, those opiates can be combined with other analgesics instead of tylenol....example, "Percodan" is oxycodone with aspirin. Sorry...hope I didn't confuse you...but while the drugs are very similar, and both strong opiates, there are a lot of differences, which people do not always realize.
Avatar f tn The urine tests check for compliance-are you taking the medications prescribed for you? And how much you are taking? Are you taking anything not prescribed to you, or using street drugs? If I were you, I suggest you plan on being discharged and don't plan on the current doctor tapering you off. They generally will not provide any tapering medications when a patient is dismissed. Decide what you plan to do if you require ongoing treatment.
669241 tn?1236264344 i took them along side lyrica and requip and clonazapam and diazapam but they dont mix well with some drugs make you tired.
Avatar f tn As long as the mg strength of the narcotic is strong enough to affect your pain, you can do without the tylenol. If you having a rough day and need more, rather than taking more of the narcotic, just take two ibuprofen with your oxycodone. That will boost the strength of the oxycodone only when you need it, and not cause you to be taking an overabundance of unnecessary Tylenol. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn s your pain will return and now you have a New drug problem when you have your medicine you hurt like before and when without med you hurt worse then can imagine before. If you seek pain relief and are NOT chasing a high; it is my opinion morphine is best option for moderate to severe pain. Similar concept with when comparing hydrocodone to Oxycodone.
Avatar f tn re over the surgery, and will pray that your recovery is quick and relaxing, after worrying and stressing. I pray that God will heal you, and leave you healthy and fully recovered.
Avatar n tn Vicodin (Hydrocodone) can be detected within 6 days and Oxycodone from 6 to 24 hours. Some labs have changed their testing procedures lately to enable different drugs to be identified during a drug screening.
Avatar f tn Hi Doboy. How are you doing tonight? Just wanted to send good energy and hope you are not combing our over taking meds. Self medicating is never a good idea..

Avatar f tn Percocet is the brand name of the generic drug oxycodone and acetaminophen and Vicodin is a brand name of the generic drug Hydrocodone and acetaminophen. Both oxycodone and Hydrocodone is a narcotic drug and are often used in combination with acetaminophen or APAP, a no steroidal anti inflammatory drug which helps in increasing their potency.
Avatar n tn Hi, I have been on Vicodin 5/500mg for 6 years. It first started with my knee surgery and I have been getting them refilled ever since. The past two months, I have been sneaking oxycodone from my dad's house. So I have been taking Oxycodone and vicodin probably 2 vicodin a day and about 4 oxycodone. I cant get anymore oxycodone from my dad, he has cancer and really needs the medicine.
Avatar n tn Actually Vicodin has Hydrocodone with acitominophen. Oxycodone is in percocet and Oxycontin to name a few. Oxycodone is much stronger than hydrocodone. I agree in just asking what the packets are, show concern not judgment. It could be cocaine, speed, heroin, etc...
Avatar n tn I am not good at keeping track b/c the scripts are only for 15 days while most are for a month, but anyway. I have some 5mg vicodin - can I take those to get me through until I can fill the script for the Percocet? If so, how much should I take? I realize this is a rather more conservative question than some, but I had one bad experience a couple of months ago when I ran out and I didn't take anything. I don't want to go through that again.
