Common Questions and Answers about Oxycodone vs roxicodone

oxycontin

Avatar f tn Roxicodone and Oxycodone have the same basic ingredient. The variance is the strength of the Oxycodone. Percocet has Tylenol and Oxycodone. Roxicodone is only oxycodone (so no Tylenol). They usually come in strengths higher than 10mg. So, it is more likely that the Roxicodone would be stronger. Have you tried Tizanidine for Muscle Spasms? It may work better. The only way I love Flexeril is in a transdermal pain cream, used for musculoskeletal and myofascial pain.
Avatar n tn Roxicodone is a brand; oxycodone is the generic. I'm not sure if roxicodone has Tylenol in it (Percocet does; oxycodone does not.) I don't find morphine helpful for my pain. It also gave me a constant, dull headache, which wouldn't go away with ibuprofen or Tylenol. Oxycodone works best for my pain. I gave up the long-acting meds totally for a number of reasons. I may use them again but for now, I'm okay with the oxycodone and other non-narcotic things.
441382 tn?1452810569 Right now I am taking 15mg Roxicodone, 2 tablets every 4 hours, with 20mg/ml Eth-Oxydose (liquid oxycodone) for breakthrough pain. Due to stupidity on my part (I didn't make my next appointment while I was at the doctor's office last time, I waited and called a couple of weeks later) I couldn't get an appointment for my prescription renewal (I have to physically see him every two months, on the off-months he overnights my scrips to me) untill two days past my run-out date.
Avatar m tn Oxycodone/roxycodone? Are you taking this? Fentanyl and roxicodone/oxycodone all all opiates. That's a lot if taken together. It just depends...
Avatar n tn oxycodone hydrochloride, available 5mg, 15mg and 30mg. OXYCODONE, generic name: oxycodone hydrochloride, available 5mg, 10mg, 15mg, 20mg, and 30mg. The Only Difference Between These Two Medications that I see is the: inactive ingredients. Small Example: (Oxycodone) contains: magnesium stearate, microcrystaline cellulose, silicon dioxide and stearic acid, and numerous D&C, FD&C colors.
Avatar m tn I am on a very high dose of methadone and my doctor said that it does not hurt my liver. However I am also on a high dose of roxicodone and my doctor said that is harmful to the liver.I would appreciate any input.
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!
445312 tn?1205376479 roxicet is percocet, roxicodone is oxycodone. Roxicet and Roxicodone are slang so the person at the clinic may never have heard of it. Keep posting daily and we will all help you get through this. I was feeling great 2 days into stopping the vicodin I thought I could quit smoking too, not a good idea, I caved on that after 2 days. I said let me take care of 1 addiction at a time.
Avatar f tn Standard Drug Tests Sometimes Miss Oxycodone Another problem is that most standard drug tests have a substantial false-negative rate for oxycodone (OxyContin, Percolone, Roxicodone) an opioid drug that's been associated with high levels of abuse. In some cases, a person could be taking oxycodone and the routine drug screen may miss it and report as negative. Oxycodone is also found in the medications Percocet, Roxicet, and Tylox.
Avatar f tn See if he will give you 30 Mg Roxicodone which is just Oxycodone without the tylenol. they are strong and if you do need a little kicker just take one extra strength otc tylenol. as the tylenol makes the active drug more potent.
Avatar n tn They are the same. Roxicodone is just a brand name for oxycodone. The oxycontin is extended release so it helps keep your pain level and then when you have breakthrough pain the instant release oxycodone will hit it hard and fast to get it under control. Only taking the instant release can be bad because you can have a lot of ups and downs, like during sleep it will wear off and you will wake up in a ton of pain and probably in withdrawals, with the ER it will keep you level through the night.
Avatar f tn i have been without the actiq for 7 days now, only used the kadian sporadically to try and keep withdrawls and bay until i figure out what step is best next. i have had friends giving me roxicodone 30 mg 1 a day in these 7 days and another friend gave me 4 20 mg oxycontin. my pcp told me i was over the worst part when out of knowwhere last night i became sick as a dog. now i am doubting i can do this. can someone please give me some insight as to what to expect or what i should do.
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 n tn ROXICODONE® is intended for use in patients who require oral pain therapy with an opioid agonist. As with any opi-oid analgesic, it is critical to adjust the dosing regimen individually for each patient (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION). Use of ROXICODONE® is associated with increased potential risks and should be used only with caution in the following condi-tions: acute alcoholism;adrenocortical insufficiency (e. g.
Avatar n tn Vicodin and Norco are both hydrocodone, they ar just different brand names. Roxicodone is oxycodone. This medication is a bit stronger than than the other two. I am telling you this because you have three different medications and two are the same thing. If your taking all these together then perhaps it is just too much and this is why your getting so nauseated. I would try the roxicodone and if it does not help then you can take either the vicodin or the Norco.
Avatar m tn Hello, I am tapering off of a 2 year habit that got up to 9 30mg roxicodone a day. I am six months in to a slow taper and had gotten down to 3 15mg roxicodone a day. That is I am down from 270mg a day to 45 mg a day. I have decided to switch to Hydrocodone (this was what I was originally prescribed 5 years ago). Here is my problem. I cannot get through the day on 45 mg of Hydro quiet yet. I feel like I have back slid but the hydro just feels useless to withdrawal compared to the roxi.
Avatar n tn t exceed 1,000 mg in a single dose and 2,600 mg per day. If you start to get to the 2,600 mg limit, you can ask your doctor about oxycodone IR or roxicodone that just contains oxycodone without the tylenol. I don't think that taking a tylenol amount near the limit deemed safe is a good practice as obviously the pharmaceutical company doesn't know what is truly a safe dose of tylenol as the 4,000 mg limit is now 2,600 mg.
699217 tn?1323438700 I believe that oxycodone is the generic name for Roxicodone, which is also obviously percocet without the tylenol. Oxycontin and oxycodone are the same thing, EXCEPT oxycodone is a quick release tablet, and oxycontin is a slow release of the same med. Hydrocodone is the ingredient in Vicodin and Lortab. Although they are all narcotics, vicodin and lortab are lesser strength than the oxy's and morphine.
Avatar f tn I AM CURRENTLY ON METHADONE FOR LONG TERM PAIN RELIEF AND ROXICODONE FOR BREAKTHROUGH PAIN. I WAS WONDERING WHICH ONE WOULD BE BETTER TO SWITCH TO INSTEAD OF BEING ON THE METHADONE CAUSE I ALSO TAKE XANAX AND ITS A RISK FOR RESPIRATORY PROBLEMS COMBINING THE TWO...ANY SUGGESTIONS OF WHICH IS BETTER TO TAKE THE PLACE OF METHADONE?
Avatar f tn I take Roxicodone. It has the same active ingredient as percocet (oxycodone) but contains NO APAP.
210982 tn?1280983895 The reason I ask is my Dr is replacing the roxicodone (since it is hard to get) with MS Contin. However, I am already taking Morphine Silfate 100mg ER. I need an instant release med... Thank you for your help!
Avatar n tn One year after that I had to have surgery and became addicted again I have been on 200mg ms contin and 15 mg. oxycodone about 4-5 a day since then. In November I decided I wanted to get off all pain meds. I was down to 15 mg ms contin 2 times a day. I know this is such a low dose but it must have been enough to keep me going throught withdrawls. Now im down to one a day and its unbearable. I am so miserable and I feel like Im not going to make it.
Avatar m tn Can you give us a little more information about what kind of pain your experiencing (Meaning, where does your pain come from)? Is it acute or chronic-pain? Different medications work differently for different people. Also, some medications work better for some types of pain than for others. If you could give a little more information about the specifics of your pain, it'll help a great deal. Keep in mind that we're not doctors (at least I'M not!
356518 tn?1322263642 I have been taking the roxicodone ( oxycodone IR) for awhile and had to have them switched to a different medication because no one around here ( Florida) has them. Ethex is under FDA investigation and they have stopped all medications there so there is only one company now (malikroft) and they are really seriously backed up on orders. This is so very frustrating as I was doing well on the meds for break thru pain. Are you having to change your medication regimen because of this problem?
