356518 tn?1322263642 I pay about 60 dollars for a months supply of 90. Any suggestions. I want to try oxycodone IR is it expensive?
Avatar f tn there no such thing as Oxycontin IR. It could be Oxycodone IR. Theres a H U G E difference between Oxycontin and Oxycodone. But if you can skip a day between doses and have only been taking then for a couple of months the withdrawls will be mild if any. Stop now while you can!!! Good Luck!
Avatar f tn t last as long as they list it. For me 10 mg of oxycodone ir is about like 2 mg of the HYDRomorphone.
356518 tn?1322263642 I have been taking the roxicodone ( oxycodone IR) for awhile and had to have them switched to a different medication because no one around here ( Florida) has them. Ethex is under FDA investigation and they have stopped all medications there so there is only one company now (malikroft) and they are really seriously backed up on orders. This is so very frustrating as I was doing well on the meds for break thru pain. Are you having to change your medication regimen because of this problem?
Avatar n tn I went to a knew Dr yesterday & he put me on Opana ER 10mg 2x a day & Morphine Sulfate IR 15mg 3x a day for break thru as needed. I've been on Roxicodone 30mg 6x a day & Norflex 100mg 2x a day prior to this appt yesterday. From what I've read on here the Opana ER is a good pain reliever after it gets into your system in approx 4-5 days so I'm hoping that is true bc so far I've not had any relief but I'm gonna give it a few more days.
562343 tn?1233601924 so it is really just 20 mg of oxycodone/roxies..but same drug...so u can group the percocets and the oxy ir into one category ..i realize it is easier to quit the T3s but it would help u while u taper off the others...Or u could go CT off of all of this but it would be a humdinger ..so ur percs/oxycodone are 5 mg...so u r taking 100 mg a day of those and 20-60 mg of the oxy IR/oxycodone as well...so say on a day that u take 2 IRs u r averaging 140 mg of oxycodone a day...does this sound right?..
Avatar m tn My doc is going to switch me to Oxycodone 30mg IR, how long should I wait before taking the first Oxycodone pill my last dose of Methadone was this morning at 8 am (30mg)? Any advice is greatly appreciated Im really scared about taking this new medicine before the other is out of my system,.
Avatar m tn My wife, who takes morphine sulfate ER and oxycodone IR for chronic pain. She does a urine test every month. For the first time in several years, 10+, her results showed a positive result for codeine, 107 ng/mL. I found an article that said a small amount of codeine may show up in patients taking high doses of morphine due to possible impurities in manufacturing. Is this correct? Has anyone else run in to this??
1264863 tn?1391118193 oxycondone is the same makeup as oxycotin ........
Avatar m tn ve run the gamut on nearly all meds, both IR and ER, and now am down to using a small amount of oxycodone on an 'as needed' basis and have found my pain easier to control with that and the use of OTC meds and other non-narcotic meds. Everyone is different, so you'll have to see what works best for you. Open and honest communication with your pain doctor is very important in managing chronic pain.
Avatar m tn I have heard of a few meds that can be taken w/ pain meds that help....such as provigil. I have been on fentanyl, mscontin, oxycodone, and morphine IR. Thanks for your help.
Avatar n tn t exceed 1,000 mg in a single dose and 2,600 mg per day. If you start to get to the 2,600 mg limit, you can ask your doctor about oxycodone IR or roxicodone that just contains oxycodone without the tylenol. I don't think that taking a tylenol amount near the limit deemed safe is a good practice as obviously the pharmaceutical company doesn't know what is truly a safe dose of tylenol as the 4,000 mg limit is now 2,600 mg.
1326416 tn?1370927001 I switched from Percocet which is (Oxycodone and Acetamiophen) to OxyIR....Plain Oxycodone....There is also Roxicodone (comes in generic as well) which is straight Oxycodone too. The maximum for Acetaminophen daily is 4000 although some studies are now lowering it to 2-3OOO. So...it's really not up to the patient...but the Dr. and what type of treatment they want them to be on. For me...I made the switch after having nausea more often...and now use the OxyIR as my BT medicine.
Avatar f tn I've been detoxing off oxy's for the last 3 weeks, and have come down considerably. I went to a new doctor (my old doctor moved) and after explaining to him what I was doing he told me that he was going to change my medicine to Opana's both ER and IR. I have not cashed it. Does anybody know why a doctor would do such a thing. I have gone from 360 mg to 120 mg. All I do is exercise, he gave me a perscription for physical therapy that I requested. Can anybody help me.
Avatar m tn Percocet is short acting oxycodone with acetaminophen. Slow release is OxyContin. Oxycodone IR is an immediate release medication which normally does not contain acetaminophen. So percocet and oxycodone contain exactly the same narcotic medication, in an immediate release form. On my previous post I mistook the IR for the slow released form. (wasn't awake yet and I apologize). So if you are actually taking percocet and immediate release oxycodone you are taking 120-160mg per day.
Avatar n tn my doctor who was assigned to manage my chronic lumbar pain, has always under-prescribed narcotic analgesics using hydrocortisone 10/325 when only oxycodone IR,20 mg BID, has heen the minimum level of medication that can adequately control my lumbar back pain, consistently, whenever it has been prescribed.. How do I convince my physician to prescribe adequate doses of oxycodone instead of inadequate hydrocodone?
Avatar n tn Hi the exact same thing happened to me ..... My buddy was driving me home and we were doing nitrous and got in a car accident and I didn't go to the hospital for 5 days til the pain was so bad I had to go to the ER and I found out I had 5 cracked ribs and 3 bruised. Been the worst weeks ever. I'm on week 5 and they gave me 30 mg of oxycodone ir to take 6 times a day. So I get 120 pills every 2 weeks and the pain only goes away for like hours.
Avatar f tn Sorry if that was confusing. His intake is 180 of oxycontin and about 20 to 30mg of oxycodone IR a day. Basically I need to know when he can take the oxycontin without crushing them to work correctly as thet were intended. For without the instant "high" so to speak. I am assuming that he will have w/d symptoms if his brain is not flooded with oxycontin on a steady basis.
Avatar f tn I used to pride myself in my knowledge of pills and their contents and markings lol. A percocet or endocet is Oxycodone IR (instant release) or SR (sustained release). Lortab or more commonly referred to as Vicodin or Norco is Hydrocodone. They both contain aceitomeniphen which is tylenol.
Avatar m tn Hello. I am prescribed Oxycodone and Hydrocodone for pain. My doctor told me that my last drug screening came up positive for Opana ER. I have never taken Opana. How in the world could this have happened? I know many people won't believe me, but it's the truth. I'm just trying to figure out how this could happen. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
210982 tn?1280983895 I know that ethex the other company that was making the oxycodone IR is under FDA investigation and the FDA has stopped all manufacturing. the other company Malinkroft is so backed up they can't keep up. I certainly hope they can increase manufacturing so we can get the medications we need. Alot of people are suffering because of this issue and it really is unheard of in this day and time in my opinion that a company can not keep up with public demand for their product.
Avatar m tn Good thought Ghilly. Oxycodone is available by this name in IR Tabs, found in 5mg, 10mg, 15mg, and 30mg Tabs. It's not clear to me why so many Physicians do not order this more often. They usually prescribe Percocet or Percodan. It may have to do with the Manufacturing Reps that push the brand names.... and of course the Pharmacy will usually supplement with Generics anyway. It's another good suggeston JT.... and as always talk to your Physician.
Avatar f tn With my last doctor, I got him to replace the two 100 mg ER tabs with two 30mg of IR because they work better for me. Has anyone else had similar experience with ER meds?
Avatar n tn I do take two naproxen 220 mg along with one one 10 mg oxycodone IR tablet and two 300 mg gabapentin capsules in the the AM when I wake up. Oxycodone is a little bit stronger than Vicodin. But I agree with the first poster that you need to contact your pharmacist to make sure the combo is OK for you to take as everyone is different and you may have underlying medical conditions that would make it an unsafe. choice for you.
