Common Questions and Answers about Percocet vs vicodin which is stronger

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...
599170 tn?1300973893 You're about right with the meds and their strengths. I had a cervical discectomy with fusion and really didn't need pain meds beyond about the third day post surgery. My problems started about 7 months after the surgery when it became apparent that I had developed adhesive arachnoiditis as a result of the nerves in my spine reacting badly to the dye in the myelogram before the surgery. Had I not had the myelogram, I would no longer have needed pain meds after the surgery.

Avatar n tn yes, percocet is a class 2 narcotic and vicodin is a class 3. Percocet is an oxycodone with tylenol, and vicodin is a hydrocodone with tylenol. If ever you need a refill you can't have a doctor call in a class 2. Both are addictive equally...
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 f tn You posted on an old thread that's from 2008. You should start your own thread so you have one that is dedicated to you. These older threads tend to get overlooked. An opiate is an opiate so switching from vicodin to percocet will not help. Sure, it will get you off the vicodin but you will then be hooked on percocet. Our brain can't tell the difference between the two. All it cares about is that you're filling the receptors.
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 Okay thank you for the concern although does anyone know If I should take the vicodin, is it safe, or is there anything else take it has been only 30 hours since my surgery and I still have major pains???
210982 tn?1280983895 Is morphine (avinza) a stronger narcotic than percocet? I have 60 mg tablets of avinza, so if I take one of those, is that like taking 6 of the percocet 10/325?
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.
210982 tn?1280983895 t have when I take percocet. So I was just asking about this because I thought morphine was stronger (which is what you are telling me), so why do I still have pain with morphine, but not with percocet? I understand that this is an abuse forum, and everything seems to lean toward people searching for the high (which I have never denied), but sometimes people do have questions that have nothing to do with getting high, or lying to get more pills but that is where most tend to go.
Avatar m tn Percocet is stronger than vicoden. You probably won't have any w/ds moving from a lesser strength drug to a stronger one. Are you wanting to quit taking pills or are you interested in whether or not you'll have w/ds moving from one drug to another. Rue.
Avatar n tn Is Vicobrofin stronger than Vicodin? The reason I'm asking is my doctor has changed my prescription and if that's the case then I don't want to switch. I would rather try to do without, although it can be very hard at times. Please advise.
Avatar f tn A LORTAB is basically Vicodin (hyddrocodone), whereas a PERCOCET is a more natural opiate, also called oxycodone. Because oxy is less synthetic, it tends to be a bit stronger. Both meds contain the opiate (either hydro or oxy) and acetaminophen (tylenol). Both are habit forming when used improperly, or for long periods of time. Hope that helps.
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 f tn Hello, I have a addiction to pain killers. Any kind, vicodin, percocet, anything with opiates. I know I need to quit it has effected my relationship, my friends, my happiness, my finances, and most recently almost got me fired from my job in which I went to school for 4 years for. By some miracle, I was able to convince my employer that i do not have a drug problem, I can be very convincing when I want to. But since this has happened, I realized I need to quit before my luck runs out.
Avatar n tn ve had to have a procedure requiring stronger prescription pain relief each medical professional has went to Vicodin or tylenol 3 which my understanding is has similar pain medication just in a less potent form and also the dentist refusing to represcribe it made me wonder if there was something different about it that would make it less likely to be prescribed in the future.
Avatar m tn I would like to know which is harder to detox from, ultrum or vicodin? I have heard horror stories about both.
Avatar f tn Becca~ It's chemical make-up makes Percocet stronger. BUT,10mg of Vicodin can be stronger than 5mg of Percocet. So,really,the argument needs to be specific as to dose. I hope you were right!
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 Just be honest with you physician and tell him that the Percocet is not working for you. Our systems are different, what works for one may not work for another. You may even do better on Vicodin. It works better for me than Percocet. I do not know the extent of your surgery but usually physicians are reluctant to order anything stronger than Percocet post-op. I wish you a speedy recovery and hope you are soon up and about. Keep us posted and let us know how you are healing.
