Common Questions and Answers about Percocet vs vicodin drug test

percocet

Avatar f tn t have had any kind of withdrawal going to Percocet from Vicodin. Whatever occured was unrelated. Percocet is stronger than Vicodin. Try not to over think this. It will be what it is...it won't be the worst thing you'll go through. Just not pleasant. It's truly like having the flu...
Avatar f tn Percocet is the brand name of the generic drug oxycodone and acetaminophen and Vicodin is a brand name of the generic drug Hydrocodone and acetaminophen. 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.

Avatar f tn If you are getting a rouitine urine test do they check for this? and can they tell if you are taking perc not Vicodin?
Avatar f tn Ill keep it short - not only are they addicting, they are probably more addicting than vicodin and stronger. Percocet is one step ABOVE Vicodin on the painkiller strength scale. Ever hear people talk about oxy? Percocet is Oxycodone. If you had a problem with vicodin, percocet will just be a bigger problem. Id stay away. Good luck and congrats on all that clean time.. Keep going in the right direction. God bless.
Avatar n tn Well, dear, I'm, assuming you are due to have some kind of drug test, and are concern about passing it? Why not instead, share what you have taken that you are fearful of showing up? A drug test looks for more than narcotics, too. They tyopically look for benzos (Ativan, Klonopin, Xanax, Valium), cocaine, opiates (Vicodin, Percocet), and others. There are different kinds of drug tests. There's really no way to know until you take it.
Avatar n tn My husband takes dilanitin for seizures. He had to take a drug test for a job and tested positive for barbituates. Does any one know if this is common?
Avatar f tn I’m in the UK and a number of times when reading posts have wondered what certain drugs are in the US as they are all called different things in the UK. What exactly is Vicodin, Percocet etc? We have codeine phosphate here which contain 30mg of codeine each. When I see people talk about 5’s and 10’s etc, are they talking about pills with 5mg or 10mg of codeine in or is it completely different?
Avatar f tn t make me too drowsey, if so I will need to go back to the Vicodin or Percocet. One more quick question, my Dr. says a 10 mg perc is the same as a 10 mg vicodin but the percs seem stronger to me. What's your opinion on that? Thanks again for the help.
Avatar n tn I have taken Vicodin for severe back pain and surgeries, now my doctor wants me to try tapentadol. She said it was a newer drug for moderate to sever back pain. I am so nervous considering the lack of knowledge of this medicine. I am okay with hydrocodone or percocet (spelling?
667913 tn?1242700488 As I understand it, oxycodone is percocet in a non time released form. Oxycontin is essentially percocet in a time release form...ie, take on pill now and it's effectiveness should last up to 12 hours...there may be more to it than that. oxycodone's effects usually last approx 4-6 hours.
890900 tn?1284577303 ADELPHI, Md. - Government experts say prescription drugs like Vicodin and Percocet that combine a popular painkiller with stronger narcotics should be eliminated because of their role in deadly overdoses. A Food and Drug Administration panel on Tuesday voted 20-17 that prescription drugs that combine acetaminophen with other painkilling ingredients should be pulled off the market.
Avatar n tn to the original question, for say a urine drug test, a regular user of oxycodone or other opioids it will take 3-6 days to leave your body completely, aim for a week to be safe, the half-life of oxycodone, meaning half the drug out of your blood stream after taking a dose is roughly 3-4 hours and the "high" lasts around 5 hours.
Avatar m tn I am having kidney stones and the doctor put me on Percocet and told me to stop the Norco..Is Percocet stronger than Norco? The stones are killing me.
Avatar n tn I am addicted to hydrocodone, i will be given a drug test to check for opiates and i was wondering how long will it take to get this painkiller out of my system, and what can i do to make it happen faster. also i want to know what the easier way to get off them is?
Avatar f tn I didn't realize there were different schedules for pain meds...I have rsd in both hands..I've gone from ultracet to vicodin to my second increase on percocet..Maybe this is why my pm dr is hesitant to up my dosage anymore. I have increased my neurontin increased to 1200mg a day..also on cymbalta and voltaren gel..Thanks for the info....
Avatar f tn Started on Vicodin to percocet to dilaudid to morphine back to percocet. I have something called intercranial hypertension and I also havecthecgastric bypass last year so I think I went to it for comfort. I have another question though what can happen to my liver.
Avatar n tn I believe I did say they were the same drug, unless they were looking for that certain drug in a lab test they would come up as the same drug! As for my test they do and will show illeagal drugs, I have seen people arrested at the dr because they have shown cocaine ect. I apprciate that you have lab knowledge but this is new tesing cups that will show different drugs such as differ from hydro and oxy.
Avatar m tn Hey, Thank you for writing. I was thinking about Vico but I remember the doc telling me a while ago that Precs were the "drug of choice" for my injury. I have to say he was right however, if you stay on plan, it works great but have a bad week or 2? Game over. Last night was ridiculous. No sleep, the feelings I can't even describe. Like the flu times a fa-fillion. I prayed to everything including my cat for this to end.
Avatar m tn Examples of these would be heroine, opium, morphine and codeine. An opioid is a synthetic drug made to mimic the effects of an opiate. These would be Percocet, Fentanyl, Methadone, Oxy, Demerol, etc. Opiates are said to be more addictive. As far as your question about receptors....yes there are differences. I used to say opiate and opioids not knowing the difference until I googled "Opiate vs Opioid" a couple years ago.
Avatar n tn I have a couple questions concerning possibly having a tummy tuck done. I have 3 children and we are considering a fourth in the next year and a half. With each pregnancy, my abdomen has become more stretched and I'm left with an "overhang" or an "apron" of tissue no matter how many toning exercises I do.
Avatar f tn I'm going to be honest with you b/c this happened to my sister in-law. She had her baby and she came up positive on the drug test that they give you and don't tell you about. She was addicted to a pain med the baby however was not but they called CPS on her and would not allow her to leave until they came and even went over her house to check it out and make sure it was safe!
