Common Questions and Answers about Oxycodone with apap

oxycontin

Avatar n tn I am currently taking 10 mg of oxycodone(w/o apap) 4x a day & 30 mg of oxycotin 3x a day. But the 30 mg oxycotin doesnt seem to be workin as before. Can I take roxicodone30 mg to replace the oxycotin along w/ the 10 mg oxycodone or are they the same,???
Avatar m tn The perscription will say on it how much tylenol it contains or if it contains aspirin (which I doubt pre-surgical). Next to the oxycodone it will say, apap ###. That is the amount of acetaminophen (tylenol) in it. So as an example it may read, oxycodone 7.5mg/apap 500mg. Physicians don't always tell you the amount of acetaminophen that the particular narcotic contain. The reason again for that is it is written on the script. I hope that helps answer your question.
Avatar f tn My doctor was substituting with percocets, Till I was finaly switch to the patch. Percocets is oxys with apap. The shortage is suppose to be over maybe this month. A news article here said someting about the DEA only allows so much to be manufactured. And they came in late with thier estimates, Now production is behind. Anyways, thats what I had read. Im surprised your Dr didnt know this already when they first wrote the initial script.
614661 tn?1267273924 Hi Ozworks, Mollyrae and Kelly are both correct. When you take an opiate over a long period of time you risk opiate tolerance. Meaning you require more and more of the medication to be as effective as the initial dose you were prescribed. I think you meant Oxycodone APAP instead of ADA. I haven't heard of ADA but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Correct me if I am wrong. Acetaminophen's (apap) daily limit is 4,000mg.
Avatar f tn I would go with the oxycodone (percocet) over the hydrocodone (vicodin), because it's possible to get the oxycodone in it's pure form in a pill without the tylenol in it. The -cet suffix on the percocet is what denotes the acetominophen or Tylenol. In the generic form, it would give the mg strength of the pill (ie, 5/500) and then say APAP on the label.
Avatar m tn my current dr has increased me from 25 to 100mcg patch over the 6 month period. i was also taking 15 mg oxycodone 3x daily. with the increase in the patch he has decreased my oxycodone.. now i currently take 5mg oxycodone 3x daily. the patch does give me some relief, but the oxycodone seemed to work better. i told this to my dr and his response was " i think oxycodone is a bad drug". while not wearing the patch, i took 2 of the 15mg oxy at once.
Avatar n tn m in my 30s and do not drink but abuse percocet on and off throughout the year. My enzymes have never been elevated but now they are. I take 1300mg APAP (20mg oxycodone) at once and then 975mg APAP 4 hours later and then that is it for the day. I repeat this for 2 weeks and then go anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months off. No alcohol ever used in conjunction and rarely alcohol when not taking APAP. I quit using the painkillers 10 days before my test. My ALTs were 59.
Avatar f tn hydrocodone or oxycodone? I have not heard good things about oxycodone, so I would be hesitant to try it but I am curious which works better for you. I want to be on the lowest dose possible (of whichever my doctor sees fit) that is sufficient enough to do everyday activities. Is there anything you have tried that you felt works for you that I should ask my doctor about?
Avatar m tn has anyone used over the counter codeine during withdrawal from oxycodone? Does it work or does it only prolong the withdrawal process.
Avatar f tn ve had severe chronic pain since 1983 and was diagnosed with HCV in 1986 and with cirrhosis in 2004. Before my liver got so bad I used a variety of different pain meds, but have had to be way more careful since 2004. For the last year I've been using Opana (oxymorphone) ER twice daily and a small dose of oxymorphone IR for breakthrough pain. It has worked well for me, contains no acetaminophen, is okay with my hepatologist, and has fewer supply hassles than OxyContin did.
Avatar f tn 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. Other brand names available under oxycodone are Endocet, Magnacet, Narvox, Tylox, Roxicet etc and under Hydrocodone are Anexsia, Dolorex Forte, Hycet, Liquicet, Lortab, Lorcet, Xodol, Zydone, Zamicet, Maxidone, Norco, Polygesic, Zolvit etc. Both are used for the treatment of moderate to severe pain.

217599 tn?1202850952 i'm not even sure what oxycodone is.
Avatar f tn The prescription is for Oxycodone HCL. I asked my doctor what the difference between this and regular Oxycodone 5/325 APAP was, and he stated that the one I'm on doesn't have Tylenol in it. He said that the APAP stood for Tylenol, not the CET; Because I asked about that, too. Weird, huh?
Avatar m tn I have never asked for increases or changes through PM and I have a appointment 2morrow and I need 2 know is it a legitamate request to ask for something without apap for the pain, more or less asked for something either by change or stay the same or increase for breakthru pain with small amount APAP and also ask for a extended release pain med no APAP to last me 24 hours.
Avatar m tn i have multiple sclerosis and have been taking the same 3 basic med's for 20+ years. recently along with the hydrocodone-10 mg -4per/day---- soma-350 mg -4per/day----and valium 10-mg-2perday__ ( all med's are generic's) about 2 years ago i started having some numbness and tingeling in my feet so i was put on neurotin 400 mg-3/per day . in the last 6+ month's i was prescribed MS contin 30 mg 2per/day. well that didn't do well! skull busting headache's from the jump.
Avatar n tn I think they are taking alot of the the drugs with the apap of the market .Did you tell him to not give you the scripts that you will not take them and why?
Avatar n tn I took percocet/oxycodone w apap 10/325 for just a little over a week and then stopped (without weaning). I was taking 4-5 a day and it def helped the pain. Now, after stopping, i am feeling horrible.Uncontrollable crying, emotionally insecure, feeling desperate, sad, grief filled, etc.... Can anyone tell me why or if they agree this is from stoppong or help in any way -PLEASE!!!! Thank YOU ALL and best of luck to each of you!!
Avatar m tn 30mg "perc" is not really percocet (percs are oxycodone/APAP, i.e., oxycodone/tylenol) - what you're taking is Roxicet (nickname is Roxys) which is more like oxycontin (OC).
537929 tn?1213722221 I am currently taking Oxycodone-Apap 5-325 MG TabMck, Medrol dose pack, and now Hydromorphone 2mg (Dilaudid) because the Percocet * (Oxycodone) does not work well by itself. I have no insurance so I will be paying for a Doc Apt this week. I was wondering is anyone else can give me advise on the following. Mornings are hell for me i cant get out of bed till the pain meds kick in which limits my day from the start.
Avatar f tn I don't bother with Pain management because all they will give us an injection of Fentanyl! No thank you. I stick to my Tylenol #3 with Codeine. I use the Teva brand the rest of the pharmaceutical brands make me nauseous. But Oxycodone w/apap 5/325 is good also again only the Mallinckrodt brand. Don't take just any brand do your research.
