Common Questions and Answers about Oxycodone with prescription

oxycontin

Avatar m tn Hi there, sounds like everyone has gave you great information. I too totally agree. I realize you probably already know this from all the good information from the community, but I would just like to reinerate that as long if you only have (1) Doctor that wrote both controlled prescriptions you will be just fine. Please remember I'm no Dr., and don't have all the answers, but with that said I like to give healthy opinions.
Avatar f tn Methadone will not interfere with absorption or function of Oxycodone. You may be thinking of another drug. Many ppl find great relief with Methadone.... Indeed there are some interesting articles that praise benefits of Methadone in Pan Management. So relax and enjoy a restful night's sleep. :o) If you have additional question please feel free to post them...... we'll try to be helpful!
Avatar n tn I have had several surgeries in the past two years and as such, have been on some pain medications - namely oxycodone and percocet (which I understand is a combination of oxycodone and tylenol?) The last time I was at my rehabilitation physician's office, she thought it was time that we "wean" me off of those things and she wrote a script for Vicodin. I have tried it, but I really don't care for it.....
Avatar f tn I I weaned off of the oxycodone in four days. I went seven days with no drugs. Then on a Monday (Im not working right now) and I hate being alone, I got a Xanax. Now, for the last three weeks that I haven't taken any opiates, I've been using Xanax about five days a week averaging 2mg. I'm so frustrated with myself. I dont feel as addicted to Xanax as I was with the opiates. Its like I'm just addicted to whatever pill I can get my hands on now.
Avatar n tn I'm currently trying to help a relative taper off of Oxycodone 80/625. She was taking 160 (2)/day and over a two week period is successfully down to 80 (1)/day. I don't know much about these, but from what I (think) I understand, aren't they time released??? She wants to go down to 40 (1/2) /day BUT my concern is - if these are time released, and the pill is broken in half then isn't the potency increased - no longer time released?
Avatar n tn It has to do with the FDA schedule that the drugs are on. Hyrocodone and codeine are Schedule III narcotics which can be called in by a doctor. Percocet/oxycodone is a Schedule II narcotic which means that it's a step up on the ladder from hydrocodone in strength and therefore cannot be called in.
Avatar m tn depending on how long your hair is it will show up for months. was it your prescription?
Avatar m tn The test showed positive for oxycodone. I have not taken oxycodone. Can the buprenorphine-naloxone cause a false positive for oxycodone? I have seen that is can on an urine test but what about a hair test? If so, any recommendations on how to work through it to get it cleared? Thanks.
Avatar n tn Hi. Well last year I was tested and the test was done in front of me. I was on Tramadol at the time and I passed the test. I asked what exactly they were testing for and they said "Opiates" "Speed" & Pot. Tramadol is a man made Opiate and when I was test it didn't show up as an Opiate. Good luck to ya and when you take the test just tell them you take them and your doctor gives them to you, like I did.
Avatar f tn Consider that Percocet tablets-- medications used to treat surgical pain in dose ranges of 1-2 every 4 hours-- contain 5-10 mg of oxycodone. You are taking the equivalent of 70 of the 5 mg tabs every day, when the dose after major surgery would be on the order of 5-10 tablets per day. The largest dose I've seen in a patient addicted to oxycodone is about 700 mg per day. Most people addicted to oxycodone in my practice were taking around 200-300 mg per day.
Avatar f tn I've been prescribed oxycodone 10 mg for months. While I was taking it, I realized I was going to run out before I could get to the doctor for a refill and a drug test. So, I urinated in a clean container, put it in the fridge for around 2 weeks. On the day of the drug test, I took it out of the fridge for a few hours and then I heated it up to correct temp and away I went to take a urine test.
Avatar m tn Hello Gemma, The best person to ask about this I would imagine is your family doctor. Who gave you the prescription for oxycodone ? I'm guessing your family doctor. Who prescribed the alprazolam for anxiety? Anyway, I would consult your family doctor.
Avatar n tn However his drug of choice is probably percocet (oxycodone). Codeine is not nearly as strong as oxycodone and I assume his PCP is aware of his problems with oxycodone. Indeed it would take many codeine to compare to one oxycodone. His PCP may have prescribed him only enough for several days. If his physician felt he required the drug for pain he may be cutting him some slack. I have a friend that can handle hydrocodone without a problem but he can't handle percocet.
Avatar m tn I'm not sure of your question and the answer you're looking for but I'll try. Oxycontin is the extended release form of Oxycodone. It should last up to 12 hrs. opposed to 4-6 hrs. with the Oxycodone. I don'rt feel that there is any difference between the two as far as pain management goes. Why do you ask?
Avatar n tn 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. So I am back to my vicodin, I have a prescription for 4 a day but always take up to 6-7 a day and run out of my prescription early but I end up talking my doctor back into a new prescription. I need to quit!
Avatar f tn 5 mg oxycodone. 2.5 mg hydrocodone. Prescribed both. One for wisdom teeth, one for chronic headaches. Thanks!
229538 tn?1300377767 The recommendation from a panel of drug safety specialists would subject Vicodin and dozens of other medicines to the same restrictions as other narcotic drugs like oxycodone and morphine. The Food and Drug Administration panel voted 19-10 in favor of the move, which is supported by the Drug Enforcement Agency. The FDA will weigh the vote in its decision-making process. Hydrocodone belongs to a family of drugs known as opioids, which include morphine, heroin, oxycodone, codeine and methadone.
Avatar m tn Hydrocodone is now schedule II, similar to morphine, oxycodone, and other opioids. It requires a written prescription every time -- no refills.
356518 tn?1322263642 I went to the site and it said Wal-Mart and Publix have it for $66.75 (the price given for every single pharmacy) The thing is that when I have gone to Wal-Mart and Publix they tell me they don't have it. So I am wondering if that site is going off real prices or general before-the-shortage prices, or just a general price from around the country. I may look into it.
Avatar m tn You are the type of patient that "scares" me. How do you know oxycodone 30mg. is the only thing that works for you? Have you tried every other pain killer available? My guess is that you haven't, based on your "is it okay to say oxycodone" question. My suggestion is just to be honest with your doctor and yourself. Yes it's okay to say oxycodone works for you, but maybe think before you say it's the only thing that works. I bet 80 mg.
1757846 tn?1312748449 well you might be one of those that for no aperent reason other then God is getting thew it with little or mild withdrawals....also if you really took a lot b/4 you quit the serum level in you blood may still be high enough to keep the withdrawals at bay for a couple of days....kinda what im thinking here.....man that a lot of pills in one day hang in there and just be ready for what ever this puts you threw you habit is going to su ck the life out of you.....
Avatar f tn I stopped taking oxycodone because of constipation. I'm having terrible withdrawal, and may need them to manage the pain from my knee surgery. Ok to restart my prescription?
537731 tn?1268265286 Anyway Dr gives me a medicine i inject B12 weird-and gives me talwin nx- for pain to take with my oxycodone to help my pain more and tells me if i go to pain clinic and the call him he will prescribe what they say. I am confused this talwin has naloxone in it- i am about to research it but i believe that is what they use to reverse overdose effects.
Avatar f tn My pain began over a year ago with two herniated discs and severe sciatica. I have been on increasing doses of pain medication ever since. Right now, I'm at a point where I feel like my tolerance levels are getting so high that my medication intake is getting out of hand. I am only 25 years old and imagining the rest of my life on pain medication makes me wonder how bad I'll eventually get, and it's a scary thought.
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 n tn low dose formulations of oxycodone such as percocet(oxycodone/acetiminophen(tylenol)) or percodan(oxycodone/aspirin) which is most commonly given in 5mg or 10 mg tablets is usually given after certain surgeries and for people in severe pain. both oxycontin and percocet abuse has grown in popularity immensely in the past 10 years. its extremely drastic how fast it has arose to being a DOC for people. and the wd's are the same as other opiates of its kind like heroin or dilaudid.
