oxycontin

Avatar f tn He went to the hospital and is ok- htank God. He was taking 10 mg oxycodone ER. Does that mean that he got 10 mg of oxycodone all at one time? Would that not be the same thing as taking two 5mg percs?
Avatar f tn I got desperate on night, just lost my mind from 2 days straight with horrible pain and no sleep. On a 1-10 scale? 12! So, I took 60 mg of oxycodone and 40 mg of methadone, plus 1 mg of Ativan - all at once, instead of breaking doses up over the day. I slept great for the first time since the wreck - March 25, 2015! I even felt better today, and took nothing but my methadone and Ativan, until late in the afternoon. But, some people say I might not have woken up.
Avatar f tn What exactly is Oxycodone HCL 30 mg? My sister was getting 100 pills a week since Dec 2008 for this amount. Isn't this quite a bit for someone who has a bulging disk in her back? One week prior to her starting the 30 mgs, she was taking 15 mg @ 100 a week. Any help would be appreciated.
Avatar n tn Are these meds taken all at the same time? It would depend a lot on that... It looks like you went through someone's medicine cabinet and wrote everything down!
Avatar f tn I have a question since I am not familar with Oxycodone ER- generic verison of Oxycotin. My Dad had a scare yesterday when he took his Oxycotin but it had broken. Does that mean he got the full 10mg of oxycodone at one time instead of released throughout the day? Wouldn't that be the same as taking 2- 5mg oxys?
Avatar m tn You need to contact your doctor and ask him what you should do. 30 mg of oxycodone IR is the strongest dose of oxycodone that they make in instant release form. So your replacement medication is not winky dinky. Therefore, please contact your doctor and/or pharmacist and let us know what you find out.
Avatar f tn And yes, I was taking them as prescribed and my total daily amount was around 2,600 mg...no where near the 4,000 mg limit. I have finally been switched to Oxycodone IR, which contains only the opioid that is present in Percocet without the tylenol. I never take more than I am supposed to and many times I take less but I now have the peace of mind that I am not doing harm to my liver.
Avatar f tn I'm on so much medicine for my chronic pain and they are always changing it. A lot of times, I end up cutting my dose in half if I think I don't need as much but still need something. Okay, right now, before I had my coffee, I made a mistake. I cut 1/2 my oxycontin 40 mg. in half thinking it was my 30 mg, oxycodone. I had already taken my 40 mg. oxycontin at around 6 am like I'm supposed to. Went back to sleep and woke up to take my break through and accidently broke the 40 mg.
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.
Avatar m tn s response. I am on 30 mg of morphine sulfate ER twice a day with up to 35 mg of percocet a day for breakthrough pain (about to switch to Opana ER tomorrow...maybe). I have taken the max of 35 mg of percocet in one day before along with 60 mg of morphine sulfate ER.
Avatar f tn I was having bad menstrual cramps and took too much Tylenol. I believe I took 6,000 mg in 24 hours. Now I'm looking on the internet and totally freaking myself out that I'm going to have liver failure. It's been 48 hours since my last dose. My stomach is queasy, but that could be because I'm so upset. Is 6,000 mg spread out over 24 hours enough to cause harm?
Avatar n tn He received 10 mg morphine in the ambulance, then 6 mg dilaudid, 4 mg zofran, and 1 mg ativan in about an hour. He weighs 190 lbs and is 6 feet tall. He suffered cardiopulmonary arrest. Could this combination of drugs have been the culprit? He received narcan and cpr and was resuscitated, thankfully. Some docs believe it was narcotic induced and others say it was a vagel down. Can you explain this?
Avatar n tn I have been on a high dose of oxycodone for Lupus for the past 8 months. I take up to 150 MG a day of oxycodone, I am trying to get off because I feel as if I don't need the meds anymore, I have found a different non-narcotic to help ease the pain. I am not pain free but the oxycodone is worse than the pain I am in. I can't seem to get off the oxt though, I am experiencing extremely bad withdrawals, and I can't seem to get any help from my doctors.
Avatar m tn Usually the Percocet (Oxycodone/Acetomenophen) that is precribed at 7.5 mg has 325 mg. of Tylenol in it. I have been precribed 7.5 and 10 mgs. after surgery and they both contained 325 mgs. of Tylenol. They are not scored and can't be split evenly like the 5mg. dose if you want to just take half.
434196 tn?1206385870 It stopped working and the amount of other pain meds I need to take is crazy. I can take my 160 mg of methadone plus 120mg of morphine and get no extra pain relief, Its crazy, stay off the Methadone, its really bad and stops working long term. Good pain docs know they have to change the meds after 6 months. But its a hard work and they (the docs) dont like the extra work. Just like they dont like calling you on the phone, Im ready to go to mexico and pay a doctor there to take care of me!
Avatar m tn Multiply the 3 mg of oxycodone by 5 hours and it equals 15 mg, which is roughly equivalent to the amount of immediate release oxycodone you were taking every 5-6 hours. Long-acting medications are preferred by many physicians over several doses of a short-acting medication like immediate release oxycodone over a 24 hour period, especially if the pain you are experiencing is expected to last over an extended period of time due to a chronic condition.
401786 tn?1309152034 The real danger with them is that each pill would now contain enough of the Oxycodone to last 12 hours. So, if your dose is 10 mg of Oxycodone, if you chewed it (the danger), you'd be getting 120mg. If you take it properly only 10 mg of Oxycodone would be released at a time.
699217 tn?1323438700 I believe that oxycodone is the generic name for Roxicodone, which is also obviously percocet without the tylenol. Oxycontin and oxycodone are the same thing, EXCEPT oxycodone is a quick release tablet, and oxycontin is a slow release of the same med. Hydrocodone is the ingredient in Vicodin and Lortab. Although they are all narcotics, vicodin and lortab are lesser strength than the oxy's and morphine.
Avatar n tn Well percs do come in different amounts. some are 5 mg some are 10 mg. I know nothing about mcg. And it is definitely percs that was taken and not oxys?? because oxys come in stronger dosages. Was he on all the meds for a while or was he new to all of them?
Avatar f tn when we are off these drugs for a week or longer, and our bodies have already detoxed and begun functioning without it, the possiblity of having an overdose is very high. An overdose from vicodin feels like your throat is closing, your heart beats really fast and it is hard to breath. It is the worst feeling in the world. My experience was light compared to what i heard could have happened from opiate overdose. People end up in comas and can die.
Avatar f tn Tuckamore said in a post that 1000 mg tylenol (the dose in "extra strength" tylenol) is "usually not fatal" but is never a good idea. I would love to see references for this. I do know about the FDA's efforts to reduce the maximum dose, but my family members take extra strength tylenol and I would like to understand more about how dangerous that might be. I was under the impression that 1000 mg is safe for use as directed for healthy people.
Avatar f tn I don't know if anyone can give me answers per say, but thought some people would have some insight. I've never posted anywhere. So here goes... I am 31 weeks pregnant. I have severe pain that is requiring surgery and I was scheduled to have it done in January, but in December had an unexpected pregnancy. My husband and I are happy, however, I can barely walk and have been on an increasing dosage of hydrocodone and now maxed out on 10 pills a day of 10/325.
Avatar m tn Earlier today I asked if anyone was taking the amount of oxycodone that I was taking. I take 4 30 mg oxycodone every 2 hours, 48 per day. While browsing this site I didn't see anyone that took nearly that amount and was just looking to see if it was just me, or were there other people that needed that amount in order to function. After thinking about it, I'm now worried about the damage that may be occurring to my body. I'm very trusting when it comes to Dr.
