Common Questions and Answers about Oxycodone in the body

oxycontin

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.
5769649 tn?1373931353 in a urine test will tylenol 4 and oxycodone show up as in the same family?reason i'm asking is in may i was told that i had tabs in my urine and i have not taken anything but my oxycodone and tylenol 4 !so i'm wondering if the tylenol 4 showed up like lortabs ?i honestly haven't taken any and i'm worried i might get kicked out of my pm clinic and i couldn't live without my pain meds!!!i have had 4 back surgeries and about 20surgeries on my stomach !!
Avatar m tn Even with this withdrawal-ease stuff which does help during the day cause I havent been down to 4 or 5 10mg oxycodone in 3 or 4 years but still doesnt help in morning. Anyone know why that is.
Avatar n tn what is the half life of oxycodone in cats? I've heard it works well for pain in cats. I'm trying to get more information on what may help my 12 year old cat. I'd like to have my questions in order before I pay my/her vet?
Avatar m tn I know if your like me, I have no one I can trust. LOL.. found that out the hard way. But i am trying the lyrica I have had in my pill bag for quite a while after reading that it helps alot of people, just started today, but usually by now I would b having cravings and probably have given in and taken another oxy 30. I posted info in my journal if your interested.
Avatar m tn He kept badgering me as to why parts of my body were in the pain I was in. Then he cut 2 of my meds down. One without telling me. The PM doctors office we went to, doesn't get along with where we get our imaging done. Now I have to find a new Family Doctor & PM, I guess. Any ideas what to do?
Avatar m tn but the simple answer if you took 20mg on the 25th and NOTHING ELSE you should be fine on the 1st most opiates have around 72 of life in the body for a URINE test good luck.
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 It is most likely the oxycodone in the percocet that is making you sleepy. Unfortunately it is just a side effect of the medication for some. I take hydrocodone and as the dose wears off I become sleepy. Sometimes if I am idle I can doze off for a few minutes. I find that caffeine helps. As soon as I take my next dose the sleepiness subsides. I am not positive but I think this is a fairly common side effect. I hope this helps.
Avatar f tn Welcome TTC Actually, clean opiates, once off them and through the w/d don't leave permanent damage. At least I know that is true for plain morphine, oxycodone because it is synthetic I don't know... that is just the body. The emotional, mental aspects can take longer, but I found after 10 years of addiction to morphine, once I was off I felt completely normal after about 6 months... Functional after 1 month. The first 2 weeks off I was very messed up.
558096 tn?1255887002 than the other- oxycontin is the exact same chemical as oxycodone- just in a coated tablet that releases the med slowly. And Perc or Tylox is oxycodone with tylenol- same category as the oxycontin as far as "power." Why were you asking?? Just curious...
10913038 tn?1424227711 So I have severe back pain and my dr. Has prescribed me a low dose of oxycododone, 5 mg to be exact. He says its safe to take during pregnancy and while Breastfeeding as long as its taken as needed and not regularly but im hesitant to put any narcotic in my body while pregnant. I'm sitting here in agony with a pill in my hand debating whether or not to take it. Has anyone else taken it during pregnancy and had any issues related to it?
Avatar f tn Are these items that could be from just taking the oxycodone and my body coverts it to this or is the test flawed. my oxycodone levels where a little high in my blood but I had just taken my medication one hour prior to the test with grapefruit juice witch I now know not to do cause it can cause high levels but my PM Dr is concerned about the other drugs in my blood.
Avatar n tn Hello, I am currently in my second day of cold turkey detox from the oxycodone 5/325. i was taking about 6 pills a day for about 2 months have recently run out. My question is if anyone has experienced the excessive diarhea? All the other symptoms are bearable, sweats arent too bad and can sllep with aids, yet I am on the toilet every 15-30min for the last two days. Is there anyone that knows how long this may last? The imodium doesnt seem to help or the pepto.
460948 tn?1232302122 6 per cent of the weight of the oxycodone salts content of the product, viz. 5 mg of oxycodone in Percodan is 4.62 mg hydrochloride and 0.38 mg terephtlalate. There does not appear to be a significant difference in the action of the salts. The hydrochloride-terephtalate mixture appears to be part of the original formulation of Percodan by its German manufacturers from more than 75 years ago.
Avatar f tn Short-acting medications like Percocet, increase the build-up tolerance due to how the immediate release action of the pill works on the body. Extended release (long-acting) medications slow the build-up of tolerance as the medication is released slowly and steadily over an extended period of time from 8-12 hours to up to 7 days of action. The Percocet you take now would become a breakthrough pain medication that you take in between doses of the long-acting medication only as needed.
Avatar n tn This is about my husband. Over a year ago, he was prescribed Oxycodone (or roxicodone?) 15 mg (the kind without the tylenol) for an accident he was in. He hasnt been on that for awhile, but still has some left from before. About 3 months ago, he got prescribed the regular percocet 10mg for cronic pain. They drug test you every month there and he goes this week.
Avatar f tn t take it away but make life a little bit easier. I also take Tizanadine and oxycodone for flare ups. In the morning I start taking Savella the new Fibromyalgia medication. My Rheumatologist gave me a four week starter pack of Savella today. I'm really nervous to take this medication because both Cymbalta and Lyrica were horrible medications for me. The side effects scare me. Suicide, nausea, vomiting, bleeding problems, rashes, etc. and I do mean the list goes on and on. Wish me luck.
Avatar f tn I had been taking oxycodone for a knee injury and I stopped last friday. I have had some side effects like sore muscles and stomach problems which I downplayed to my husband. I still have some stomach problems but not that bad. I have been taklng ambien to help me sleep. My husband is out of town and I didn't want him to see this post. We live in a small town and the orthopedic surgeon that did my surgery goes to our church and is friends with my husband. They play golf together.
356518 tn?1322263642 I checked a couple of Pharmacys out and found that the Oxycodone IR are slightly cheaper than the Lorecet......So, it is possible that she will get a better deal with the Oxycodone and in my opinion it might work better.
Avatar n tn Mental side effects can be hard to deal with and may not get them but be prepared and discuss it if it occurs. The sensation in your body is liken to restless leg I think. I never had restless leg but I did have restless body! It's not a real term I suppose but that's what it feels like, I just had to move! It was worst when sleeping. Insomnia and all that went with it was very hard...debilitating actually because I did not sleep for more than 15 mins a night for 12 days.
Avatar f tn Another good question. The last time I stopped using (OxyContin / Oxycodone) the nervous stomach and anxiety was still plaguing me after day 21. Of course it had subsided quite a bit, but never the less, it was still a problem. I guess one can't expect to be healed after a few days, it's the nature of this addiction. I've read that six weeks is the magic number.
Avatar f tn I would assume synthetic opiates like oxycodone would agonise the receptor that the released endorphin during brain hemorrhage normally would be agonising. Assuming that, I could say that oxycodone would be beneficial.
Avatar f tn On the fentenyal patch and told my us came back positive for oxycodone how is this possible?
Avatar f tn Some like oxycodone better, some like hydrocodone better. Here's what I've heard: for short term pain (like after a root canal, surgical procedure, etc., where the doctor gives you 2 or 3 days worth of a prescription), oxycodone works well. But, for long term pain (e.g. pain lasting weeks, or chronic pain), some find that although oxycodone "hits the pain hard," it wears off quickly. And some physicians and patients find that to be a recipe for dependence and addiction.
Avatar f tn It has to do with the half life of each medication. it is the amount of medication in the blood serum. The % of and how fast it is processed and eliminated from the body. Buprenorphine has a longer half life tgan oxycodone.
Avatar f tn Different manufacturers might use different inert ingredients in their pills, so while the active ingredient might be the same (oxycodone), the binders might be different and it's possible that you might feel differently when taking one as opposed to another. In the generic oxycodone you're taking, is it pure oxycodone? Or is there APAP in it (tylenol)?
