oxycontin

445312 tn?1205376479 roxicet is percocet, roxicodone is oxycodone. Roxicet and Roxicodone are slang so the person at the clinic may never have heard of it. Keep posting daily and we will all help you get through this. I was feeling great 2 days into stopping the vicodin I thought I could quit smoking too, not a good idea, I caved on that after 2 days. I said let me take care of 1 addiction at a time.
Avatar f tn snort or chew them to bypass that. it is true that percocet has more apap than the oxycontin or roxicodone but as far as the main ingredient 6 perc 5's are the same as a roxi 30 or 4 perc 10's are the same as an oxy 40.
Avatar f tn So I have been on oxycodone and roxicet ( not at the same time, the dr will write it for one or the other) Both meds are 5-325 strength. It seems like everytime I get a script for the roxicet I end up getting very sick to my stomach and vomiting. I am taking the medication as prescribed. I know the two medicines are basically the samething so my question is, why is one medication making me sick to my stomach while the other one does not?
Avatar n tn Vicodin/Lortab/Hydrocodone-2.5 mg, 5mg 7.5 mg,(ES) 10 mg, they come with 500-750 mg of Acetem. Norco(=vicoden/hydrocodone too) 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, they usually come with 250 mg acetem.(Tylenol) Percocet/Percodan (Oxycodone) 5mg, 10mg anywhere from 250-750 mg (tylenol) Oxycontin usually comes in 10, 20,60,80 mg and typically doesn't have any tylenol. Morphine comes is pill form as well as intravenous for severe pain.
1214626 tn?1288106214 ROXIES is a slang name for Roxicet. Roxicet is the generic name for Percocet. (oxycodone + tylonol.) Very potent, highly addictive but very effective schedule 2 narcotic. Illegal to have without a prescription. As to why it is being snorted, snorting is a way addicts use certain drugs as a quicker way to achieve a high than ingesting. Opiates give a feeling of greatness and euphoria that nothing can explain. The reason people pay so much for them is in short one of the more potent pain killers.
Avatar n tn s either a Roxicet 30mg or an Oxycontin 30mg. The Roxicet is an immediate release of the whole 30mg of oxycodone and the Oxycontin, if swallowed whole, is a timed release version of 30mg of oxycodone. Secondly, telling a doctor that you have an opiate addiction does not mean you won't be treated for pain. If the doctor is a good doctor, then it just means that they are more cautious with treating your pain. That's why addictionologists are great alternatives for us addicts.
Avatar f tn Percocet is Oxycodone and Acetaminophen. Percocet is a brand name and there is no liquid Percocet. There is a liquid version of Oxycodone and Acetaminophen called Roxicet, however. It's not necessarily measured in mg's though. It's measured in ml's in which 5ml contaings 5mg of Oxycodone and 325mg of Acetaminophen. Now that I've written all of that...I have to ask..why do you ask?
Avatar n tn We are both afraid he will get in trouble though since he is no longer prescribed that. Is it the same thing, other than the tylenol, or will it be found on a mouth swab? Thanks for any advice!
874521 tn?1424116797 Percocet, Roxicet, Tylox, Endocet You have to have the name of the medicine .. not just the oxy ingredient. It works for meds such as Percocet but not Percodan .. You need to use a bit of name brand inputting. I hope this is helpful. I apologize it took awhile to get the answer. Let me know if this now works for you.
Avatar m tn I took the Hydrocodone before the surgery, and a week later had the surgery done, and was given the Percocet. I took one pill for pain as needed which was usually no more than twice a day. Once I stopped taking the Percocet and started with the Roxicet, I was taking 2-3 pills a day even when I didn't necessarily need to for the purpose of pain relief. I took the Roxicet to keep the withdrawal symptoms at bay.
Avatar n tn Yeah, it's pretty much the opiate count. The /500 is the tylenol and is supposed to help kick in the opiate but I've found that the 2nd number is really irrelevant for someone who has been using for awhile. I take 10mg's of oxycodone 3x a day. There is no tylenol in them.... just the opiate and some other minor additives. For me there is no differnce between a 10mg oxycodone or a 10/500mg percocet even though they are both oxycodone. So yeah....
Avatar f tn Hi Leelee.. Welcome to the forum... I hear you...Do you have the supplies to go through detox? I'm guessing you know all the helpful stuff as you've been through this before. I totally understand how you feel. I have several chronic illnesses and pain and was on a whole wack of medication before I woke up and realized WTF? And c/t 37 days ago....It's possible...It really is. But you need to have an alternative non-narcotic pain management plan in place.
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 f tn In some cases, a person could be taking oxycodone and the routine drug screen may miss it and report as negative. Oxycodone is also found in the medications Percocet, Roxicet, and Tylox. Yet one study in the review showed that 88% of doctors didn't know that they may need to order a special test to accurately screen for oxycodone.
Avatar n tn Endocet, Magnacet, Narvox, Percocet, Roxicet, Tylox all the same thing.
Avatar f tn You posted on an old thread that's from 2008. You should start your own thread so you have one that is dedicated to you. These older threads tend to get overlooked. An opiate is an opiate so switching from vicodin to percocet will not help. Sure, it will get you off the vicodin but you will then be hooked on percocet. Our brain can't tell the difference between the two. All it cares about is that you're filling the receptors.
Avatar f tn Different drugs entirely. Vicodin is Lortab is Norco is Hydrocodone is. Codeine is entirely different. The reason you can switch between those and for that matter, any opiate, is because they are cross-tolerant. They are substitutable, but the dosages wouldn't be the same for the same effect. A look at an opiate milliequivalency scale would be needed or people experiment.
217599 tn?1202850952 Just trying to be accurate and stick to the facts.. Although it is a strong narcotic opiate pain killer as well as Vicodin/Narco it is different also.. Dr's and most people I know are aware that oxycodone is a much stronger opiate than hydrocodone! Plus the strongest dosage of hydrocodone is 10mg if I am not mistaken(unless a special mixture of pill has been requested to be made by a pharmacist), but oxycodone has came as high as 160mg pill form in a time-released pill(oxycontin)..
512694 tn?1216161406 I have a cardiac pacemaker and a Gastric pacemaker. As one thing at a time gets attacked. The latest is I get tingling in my legs and arms/hands. I as of about 8 months ago have extremely painfull legs. It almost feels like I'm just walking on bones. Extreme pain in feet,ankles,legs,and knees sometimes hips and low back. I'm so scared it's going to spread to other parts of my body. I have tried Baclofen,lyrica, and tramadol.
Avatar f tn Well... Most of you know me, for those who don't, I'm a Percocet/Roxicet addict. I WAS taking up to 150 mgs a day of oxycodone. I tried to taper to 30 mgs and then quit in December then failed miserably. My new plan is going VERY, VERY WELL! I'm using Lexapro to address my anxiety issues and depression, and I've been taking it for almost two months and it's been BEAUTIFUL! My life is coming back! Anyway, I'm down to (GASP!) ONE pill a day! Yahooooo!
Avatar m tn I was wondering if anyone had any input on these full body night jerks i am having. The medical term for what im expierencing is termed myoclonus. It is a sudden, and uncontrollable jerking of the limbs or body. I expierence this whenever i try to fall asleep on a plane or in a car. It seems anytime i take an opiate, in my case Oxycodone (percocet/roxicet), shortly before i lay down or try and fall asleep i experience these violent jerks.
Avatar n tn Well to officially get over the withdraw, you need to be free of the oxycodone in your system at some point. As soon as you take another pill.. even if only one.. you are re-introducing it to your system again. I personally, and let me say I am no doctor... I would get a written plan done. You were taking 2 pills 4 times a day. thats 8 pills. Go to taking 2 pills... say three times a day. Morning, midday and night. Then in a week go to taking 1.5 pills 4 times a day..
Avatar f tn I have 2 herniated discs in my lower lumbar spine. I was perscribed 7.5mgs of percocet, then upped to 10mgs, referred to Pain Management and ultimately upped to 15mg Roxi's. I can get by with taking 3-4 percs on a GOOD day (manageable pain) to 6-10 percs on a BAD day (usually when the weathers bad or working really hard that day - I clean houses). I never used to have a problem going without them for YEARS it didn't effect me, I thought I was unbeatable, untouchable. Until now.
558096 tn?1255887002 neither one is more "powerful" than the other- oxycontin is the exact same chemical as oxycodone- just in a coated tablet that releases the med slowly. And Perc or Tylox is oxycodone with tylenol- same category as the oxycontin as far as "power." Why were you asking?? Just curious...
Avatar m tn I am actually 2 days off of 10mg endocet after about a year and I tapered down pretty drastically in one week, I'm not sure about subs, honestly I've just heard terrible things about those and that the WD is worse than oxycodone. Why do you say you can't ween off of the roxis?
683319 tn?1226909213 first let me say addiction ruins everything quality of life,family and yes even love,if you stay addicted but it sounds to me like your b/f is reaching out for help sothat is the first stepto admitt you have a problem ,beating an addiction is hard and no two people are the same but it can be done if he is serious right now he needs understanding so try not to be to hard on him w/d will make people act in ways they never would straight their body is trying to adjust to life without drugs,how much
