Common Questions and Answers about Hydrocodone apap 5-325
vicodin
I decided to continue to go with hydrocodone. I saw my nurse today and she wrote me up for 5/325 norco. If the tylenol becomes a problem I will probably see my doctor to give Oxycodone a try without the tylenol. That sounds like a much more manageable way to adjust med dosages.
If its hydrocodone it will be stated as a xx(hydrocodone) - xx (apap/asprin). Doses of tylenol ranged from 325/500/750 and asprin i'm not sure (Assume only 200mg but I have no clue.They come in liquid suspension and tablet form and rarley without a tylenol/asprin additive. I'm taking percocet which is a whole different Active ingrediant. From my experience a lot more dangerous than hydrocodone. Its approx. 1.5x stronger than lortab in analgesia terms.
The first day I started the Z. (about 5 days ago) I got less pain relief and much more pain than I had with 5/375 Vicodin! That's seems totally wrong but it happened. The dose of the Z is the same as I got for the number of 5/375s I took per day.
Anyone else on Z. and how do you like it? Any side effects?
I am currently prescribed 1-2 7.5/325 hyrdro/apap every 4-6 hours for chronic back pain. I started a few days ago. 2 barely eases the pain so I am seeing my doctor soon to discuss it. I have a few questions for those of you that have been on pain management regimens for a while. Does it take a while (days/weeks) for your body to respond to hydro/apap? Also which is more effective (for severe chronic back pain): hydrocodone or oxycodone?
My 77 year old mother has been using Hydrocodone APAP 10/325 or 10/500mg for many years to take the edge off of severe RA. Her dosage is 1/1 PO TID which she has been very compliant and adheres to faithfully. During her last lab visit her M.D. had ordered a UDS along with the other labs. Her anxiolytic medication XANAX came back pusitive yet her opiate panel came back clean.
I was first introduced to Vicodin ES (10mg/325 APAP) in December of 2008. I have been taking between 4-8 10mg Vicodins everyday for about 4-5 months now. I finally realized I have an addiction and I am wasting to much money on them. I really enjoy taking them for recreational purposes but I think its about time I stop. Compared to others, and the readers of this, is my addiction severe? I am thinking about tapering down to about 2 a day and then after about a week stopping cold turkey.
I'm scheduled for hip arthroscopy next Thursday, and my doctor gave me 5 different scripts, one of which is for Oxycodone 7.5. He did not specify how much Tylenol. Is that normal?
I would say its more likely he would need to go to the hospital for APAP toxicity than hydrocodone overdose. APAP (tylenol) is mixed with the hydrocodone and is not good for the liver in high doses.
Just tell him not to go crazy and make sure he doesn't mix with alcohol or other drugs (besides weed), and he should remain alive. Might end up with a wicked addiction though!
Probably not an ideal situation to take meds that are expired.
He says he is not addicted because he only takes 4 to 5 a day 750 MG as ordered by his doc for 8 yrs. He sleeps a lot during the day and then has trouble sleeping at night. He takes a Xanaflex and drinks rum to get to sleep. That is the only alocohol he drinks in a day. Again he believes he is not an addict????
the first number is the mg of hydrocodone and the second # is the amount of tylenol.10 mg of hydrocodone/650 mg acetaminophen (tylenol). are you taking them?
s the same dosage of hydrocodone (5, 7.5, 10) but only 325 APAP...and they have similar replacements for oxycodone (Endocet, for instance, is 10oxy/325APAP).
advocate for your liver!
t hit anything as he was at the foot of my bed. He then disappeared. During this year, I have been taking Hydrocodone APAP 10-325 to help me sleep and to help with the severe arthritis pain I have in my back, hips, feet, etc. I ordinarily take only one per night, but I was so tired and hurt so much on the night described above, I took three of these tablets! I am quite certain the three pills caused the hallucination, and have taken only one per night since the incident.
My neurosurgeon sent me to a pain specialist doctor and he put me on ultracet - a hydrocodone - apap 3,75 & 325 mg. to help control the pain until my surgery date. That helped me a lot with the pain and the headaches. I could not have made it through waiting for my surgery with out it. He also gave me Ibuprophen pain patches for my neck that helped.
Not sure if this helps you any but I would ask your surgeon about it.
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?
This is the first time I've ever tried this I took 5 i took 5 hydrocodone/acetaminophen 5-325 and I'm worried about over dosing. Any answers you have can help me. I will never try this again. They weren't mine I took them to get high. I'm really scared.
