Avatar f tn However, that being said, many on here DO safely detox at home from oxycodone. How much are you using per day and for how long? Looking forward to getting to know you :).
Avatar f tn I am prescribed 30mg morphine sulfate 2x a day and 10 mg Oxycodone 4x s day which I abuse by crushing and snorting them. I was on day 3 of detoxing cold turkey praying that last night would be better with the restless leg syndrome and sleep because I think I have only slept 3 hours since I syarted. Well my question is I took 1/2 of my Oxycodone last night roughly only 2 mg. and 1/2 of morphine 15 mg. I feel sooo guilty... Will this take me back to square 1????
Avatar f tn Oycodone is in a different class of drugs than Vicodin. Vicodin is a Schedule III drug and Oxycodone is a Schedule II drug. It is stronger than Vicodin and probably the reason your doctor prescribed it rather than the hydrocodone (vicodin) is because oxycodone is available in a pure form without acetominophen in it. Hydrocodone is not.
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 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 m tn I didnt think anything of my urine test i took yesterday because (H) would show up as an opiate and i am prescribed opiates, BUT i found out that the doctor is sending the test to get the levels of opiate and oxycodone etc. i kno for sure that its going to show up higher than it should. Is there anyting that i can say i took that raised my levels so high like morphine or i ate three times my dose of dialated?
Avatar n tn I was also put on suboxone but from oxycodone use instead, suboxone is no better or worse that oxycodone or heroin or morphine, the withdrawals are just as bad, I went 5 days without and suboxone after taking one 8mg a day and those 5 days were hell and I'm still sick, I've tried vitamins, orange juice, hot showers ,Tylenol, ibuprofien ,exercise, sleeping pills, sitting in a corner rocking back and forth, anything and everything I can think of and what others have suggested in other foru
Avatar m tn cant obtain gabapentin anymore and would like to transfer to oxycodone 120mg daily as a substitute for buprenorphine and gabapentin.I would like to know is such change possible.
Avatar m tn I'm having problems with the new oxy formulation [ op]. I've taken opiate pain management from a doctor [s] for years. Recently I've determined I'm allergic to the op's and won't take them anymore, but luckily for me I've accumulate quite a few breakthru meds which are oxycodone. I was told it's the same opiate ingredient. I think it's called Hydrochloride something or other?
10178628 tn?1408331209 On oxycodone for over 7yrs and within the past year not getting adequate pain relief. My pain management Dr doesn't believe in tolerance and can't afford to change drs. So lost, any suggestions or literature out there to prove tolerance exsists?
Avatar f tn I have been addicted to oxycodone for the last 2 yrs and am trying to stop. I have been taking up to 180 mg a day and am looking for some advice on how I'm going to do this.
Avatar n tn Over the last 6 months I have tapered down from about 120mg of oxycodone per day to about 20-30mg oxycontin per day to nothing as of last night about 3am. I want to be done for good and just wanted an honest, realistic answer of how long this whole crappy detox is going to last...
Avatar m tn I have been detoxing off of very high doses of fentanyl and oxycodone over the past month and have found parts of the Thomas recipe to be very helpful. Please let us know the details so we can help you more! keep posting!! VIC is right, this sight is a blessing to those trying to quite opiates, you will find a lot of strength from people here.
Avatar f tn The opiate is absorbed however the filler remains and fibrous tissue forms years down the road which will ultimately spread throughout the lung. There is no cure. You will end up with death from progressively decreasing lung function. A horrible death on an oxygen tube, unable to walk ten steps. You cannot "taper". You have to stop. It is far better for you to go on an opiate maintenace program or use an alternate means to get high if you cannot shake the addiction.
Avatar m tn Are you a doctor?
Avatar m tn Only the opiate drug has changed from hydrocone to oxycoodone. If oxycodone is more effective for you, it will reduce your use of methadoone. So, in long term it may be effective. Take care! The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you. The advice may not be completely correct for you as the doctor cannot examine you and does not know your complete medical history.
217599 tn?1202850952 Roxicodone(OXYCODONE) is MUCH STRONGER THAN Narco/Vicodin(HYDROCODONE!) There are also 2 different drugs as well. Just trying to be accurate and stick to the facts.. Although it is a strong narcotic opiate pain killer as well as Vicodin/Narco it is different also.. Dr's and most people I know are aware that oxycodone is a much stronger opiate than hydrocodone!
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 n tn The potent ingredient in any opiate compound is the opiate. 5mg of Oxycodone is exactly that - 5 mg. Her doctor was trying to lower her dosage, which may or may not be effective...pure Oxycodone (AKA Roxycodone) is "rapid delivery," and is released into one's bloodstream within minutes, unlike Percocet, the delivery of which takes approximately 30 minutes. It COULD work as well for her - (faster!!) but...well, every body is different.
Avatar f tn Maybe I explained it wrong. I had withdrawal after 12 hours of last oxycodone. It was hell getting better but still very hard. Day 15 today. Legs still bad.
Avatar n tn Chemically, Suboxone contains two opiates that chemically differ from most of the other opiates as being semi-synthetically derived from thebaine (a minor chemical constituent of opium). Oxycodone is the only other opiate that is also semi-synthetically derived from thebaine. Which would be my guess as to why we keep seeing false positives for it on those panel tests...
