percocet

Avatar f tn I mean, I know Oxycontin is slow release, but percocet is Oxycodone and how is that different from the Oxycontin? I thought they were the same only, one was slow release and one was not, but there must be another difference... Right?
Avatar n tn oxycodone hydrochloride, available 5mg, 10mg, 15mg, 20mg, and 30mg. The Only Difference Between These Two Medications that I see is the: inactive ingredients. Small Example: (Oxycodone) contains: magnesium stearate, microcrystaline cellulose, silicon dioxide and stearic acid, and numerous D&C, FD&C colors. (Roxicodone) contains sodium starch, glycolate, corn starch, lactose, and a few of the same that the Oxycodone contains.
Avatar n tn Is Oxycodone without Acetaminophen stronger than just Oxycodone Hydrochloride? My mother has been on Percocet for years, and for some reason her doctor has now switched her to just Oxycodone. She seems to think that 5mg of her new perscription is stronger than 10 of her old one(Oxy and acetaminophen...perc)! Is this true?
Avatar f tn I have not been prescribed anything more that percocet 10mg/325. I just broke a oxycodone hydrochloride 30 mg immediate release tablet in half and took half. I'm starting to freak out. What have I become again? Should I go to the ER? I admit I've been taking one and a half of the percocet 10's every four hours. I need long term help but can you all help me through this first? Is what I just ingested the same as one and a half of those percocet 10mg/325?

460948 tn?1232302122 are the SAME drug, the delivery vehicle is different. Some think Percocet are more addictive, as they are fast acting. So when you told your Dr. "No Oxy, just Percocet, didnt they say anything?' Oxycontin and percocet are bot oxycodone same drug, (Percocet is fast acting, Oxycontin is a time released med) Oxycodone is percocet without the aceteminophen or less of it) you can check Wikipedia, just look up oxycontin, and there will be Percocet.
Avatar m tn What you're experiencing is why short-acting medications like percocet (oxycodone) don't work well for chronic pain. You end up chasing pain spikes and you're either over- or under-medicated. For the same reason, Percocet is a popular drug of abuse for it's immediate, short-acting properties. I hope you can get in with your doctor very soon and get a medication change. I'm afraid you may be doing yourself more harm than good trying to self-medicate with the Percocet.
1264863 tn?1391118193 You can break those 10 mg. Percocet in one half or one quarter to help you taper down. Are you sure you absorb liquids better than solids? The other thing to do is to call your physician for help. With a chronic illness that may be the best.
1452984 tn?1415426980 Yup, I'd agree with that.
450052 tn?1207660274 I believe Norco is hydrocodone/acetemetophine and Percocet is oxycodone/acetemetophine. I am not positive on the Norco though. You may be taking a stronger Norco script than you were the Percocet script, because Percocet is generally stronger. As far as I know generic and brand name should be the same. I don't know what else to tell you.
1161075 tn?1262988428 It is pure oxycodone in amounts much larger than in Percocet. OxyContin pills come with 10, 20, 40 ,80 or 160 mg of oxycodone. Just one OxyContin pill can have the same amount of oxycodone as 16 Percocets With OxyContin, only part of the oxycodone is released when the pill is taken. The rest of the oxycodone has been coated so that it is released into the body slowly. This is how OxyContin relieves pain for so many hours.
Avatar n tn Percocet IS oxycodone. Oxycodone is the opiate ingredient in percocet. The -cet part denotes that there is acetominophen (tylenol) in the pill as well, so percocet is actually oxycodone with tylenol.
Avatar m tn My dr has asked me to think about changing from oxycodone 10/325 5xdaily (percocet) to oxycontin. I've done the research on oxycontin as requested and can see that they most likely are worrying about the dose of tylenol for so long. I do want to decrease pain meds and am worried about addiction. This percocet rx has been ongoing for at least 3-4 years on an increasing dose 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 Annother Question, Will Percocet 10/650 make the pain less than Percocet 10/325 , Also will the 10/650 make you more sleepy or tired , I really than everyone for all the help and for Replying
1264863 tn?1391118193 My doctor is moving me from percacet and oxycodone to Opana ER. I don't know what it is or what to expect.
Avatar m tn Dilaudid is a much stronger narcotic than oxycodone ( oxycodone is the narcotic ingredient in percocet). Percocet is tylenol and oxycodone combined. I think you will have much better pain control with the dilaudid for sure.
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.
Avatar f tn I'm confused about your patches. You said you change them every 48 hours so that would mean you need approximately 15 per month, right? Or, was this a 3 month supply? You were getting 45 and now your insurance will only pay for 30 I agree with the other posters about your Dr changing and doubling your medication. It sounds extreme. I can understand him thinking you need more pills because you will not be getting as many patches.
Avatar f tn I have been taking percocet (oxycodone acetaminophen) 5/325 1 pill 3 times a day. That was a great system that worked for me. Recently I was prescribed oxycodone minus the acetaminophen. I understand the risks of liver damage. However, I have had NO relief since I began this new drug. I'm confused because it is the same drug minus the Tylenol. Anyone else experiencing this? Would taking a higher dose of the oxycodone (not Percocet which is oxy with acetaminophen) help me better?
Avatar f tn Hi All ... I am taking Oxycontin 40mg 3x a day and Percocet 10/325 3 x a day ... I want to taper down and jump off at the lowest dose possible ... can some of you give me advice on how you would taper .. how much to taper over a day week and over how long a period of time... This is my third attempt ... I am praying that the third time is the charm ..
203003 tn?1210855907 5 mg and 10mg. Percocet is oxycodone and tylenol. Oxycontin is oxycodone in a time released pill. They used to make a capsule of 15mg of fast release oxycodone that people called percocet 15's but that was a misnomer. I'm not sure that they still make them here in the US.
Avatar n tn 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.... a 5/500mg vicoden is probably down on the list where an 80mg oxycodone is at the top. It also depends on how many are prescribed at whatever time interval because most addicts do not stick to their presctiption such as myself.
Avatar n tn Ive been on oxycodone-acetaminophen 5-325 (percocet) needing something better 4 pain. My doc just put me on opana ER 5 mg tab. The opana doesnt seem to work. which is suppose to work better and does opana work well?
667913 tn?1242700488 t have to take it as often(usually every 12 hours). Oxycodone is faster release. Percocet is oxycodone but it also comes stronger. Does she have a history of drug dependence?
