Common Questions and Answers about Oxycontin and vicodin together

oxycontin

Avatar m tn Not sure if you are talking about oxycontin or oxycodone pills in various mixes and forms. Either way, oxycontin and percoccet have the narcotic oxycodone in it. Oxycontin is pure oxycodone in a time release form while percoccet is a mix of oxycodone and another OTC pain reliever. Oxycodone is a stronger narcotic then the narcotic in vicodin which is hydrocodone. Both will cause WD. The WD from oxycodone was always much worse for me then hydrocodone but some say it's the same.
5312547 tn?1367094865 t as strong and also has acetominophen in it so make sure not to take Tylenol in any other form. Oxycodone and OxyContin are essentially the same drug and have no Tylenol in them. OxyContin is a time relealse and is usually taken twice a day. Usuallymanother med is given for breakthrough pain. All of these drugs will case physical dependence and in some people can lead to addiction.
Avatar m tn I am suffering and can barely type and don't know how to edit. Have six more days to go to refill. Can I do this at home?
Avatar n tn I will be fine for several days and then suddenly I get sick to my stomach and start throwing up. The most current episode began on Tuesday night. I have zero appetite and force myself to eat. I have been down since then. Nothing seems to help. Im on 80 to 120m of oxy daily. I been continous for about a year. I was on vicodin for 3 yrs prior.
748895 tn?1233592727 I am also bipolar and I have taken enough vicodin to kill a horse, and I never noticed any mood problems or manic phases while I was taking this. I had some problems with both after I quit, but I believe this was partly the withdrawal symptons I was experiencing and had very little to do with my previous(latent?)bipolar problems.
Avatar m tn When used correctly oxycontin is a good, safe and probably imho less addictive than vicodin. but people in pain should also be allowed to take short acting vicodin. We that are in chronic pain should not be punished with these draconian new pharmaceutical laws just because there are others that abuse them. they are lumping pain patients in the same lot as addicts. the war on anything is a sleazy market for the police/prison/banker launderers complex who rule our politicians, lawmakers.
Avatar f tn I have been taking vicodin 7.5/750 for several months and all the tylonel is starting to upset my stomach. Does anyone know the different strengths of vicodin so I can try something different?
1724961 tn?1309850581 I finally wrote out what a typical day looked like for me and then a day where I took 2 vicodin every 4 hours for 24 hours. That worked and she ordered the Oxycontin. I went from about a good hour at work and nothing at home to being able to work my 6 hours at work, and get a little bit done at home before heading to bed. I was so glad to hear that weird contorted positions I wake up in are normal! My mother says she cant stand to watch me sleep because of the painful look on my face.
699217 tn?1323438700 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. The one I'm least familiar with is tramadol, although I've certainly read a lot about it, only taken it once.
Avatar m tn hey there....i don t think it will be that bad since you were on them less than a month...you might feel restless, stomach upset, tiredness, chills, basic flu like feelings...it lasts for about 5 days but in your case i think less...good luck to you...
749490 tn?1233206933 To my knowledge the answer to your question is yes 20mgs of oxycodone/percocet is the same amount of oxycodone that is in a 20mg oxycontin, its just in an extended release formula. I was pretty heavily into methadone and oxycontin(various other opiates) and I still dont know if this answer is correct or not. Why dont you ask your doctor or pharmacist, they would be able to provide you with the info your looking for.
Avatar m tn I have a lot of chronic pain problems with my knee, I had surgery on it a while ago, it has arthritis in it now, it bothers me everyday, I have herniated discs in my lower back and and problems with my left ankle. I have been on all sorts of meds in the past, including vicodin and percocet. My orthopedic Dr. told me before I could mix tylenol with advil and it would equal a pain pill without the narcotic effect.
Avatar f tn epidermal shorts were all tried w varying degrees of success) *I have taken several medications through IV in the hospital and right after my surgeries in pill form, but currently I only take Vicodin, Aleve, and occasionally a muscle relaxer. I have also taken the Butrans, but i was allegic to the patch adhesive & had to discontinue. (Butrans worked anazing!
1046637 tn?1253496451 no he needs help if I were you I would get together w/his mom and other family members and stage and intervention he needs one in a bad way wow.
Avatar n tn I have been taking vicodin, oxycontin and percoset for almost a year now due to a horrific accident and 6 operations. I cut out the vicodin and oxycontin but have been using 6 to 8 percoset 5/325 through now. I quit taking anything almost two days ago - I am probably at about 42 hours. I am very anxious, cold, have the runs and can't sleep. Can anyone tell me when it starts to get better? I would rather live with my pain than go through this again. Thank you.
Avatar f tn m weaning myself off by taking half pills and quarters. It seems to be working well. I have nausea and a head ache but at least the shaking and sweating have stoppped. I can't believe I got physically dependent like that so quickly! At least I know for the future so they can give me something different.
Avatar m tn I have been on all sorts of meds in the past, including vicodin and percocet. My orthopedic Dr. told me before I could mix tylenol with advil and it would equal a pain pill without the narcotic effect. I don't remember how many of each to take and how many hours apart to take each of them. Is this safe? I would rather take these then go back on pain meds! Thanks!
Avatar f tn I tried quitting that way it didn't work for me I just ended up taking more of the lower drug because I felt like ****. I can't say for anyone else but I just had to go cold turkey after 8 years of use it was hard and still is some days. but if you want it you can do it. I've been clean 56 days.
Avatar m tn I am also a chronic pain sufferer with similar pain as you have and my doctor did a taper from Vicodin, and switched me to Tramadol 50mg after a few days taking the Tramadol I bailed out I went C/T. I am controlling my pain with over the counter meds, I was on Vicodin for 6 years to long. Vicodin stopped working for me, I also had an on again off again love for H I've decided to stop seeing my doctor and I haven't gotten high on H.
Avatar m tn finally made it out clean and was starting to get my **** together when bam started all over again back into blowing 2 or 3 80's a day finally a friend got me some suboxone which i began taking and slowly wheened my self off of that, clean once again for a few months.
Avatar f tn I tried percosets for about 3 days, and on day 3 i was so sick i couldnt see strait and went back to my Dr and refilled the oxys..I mean sick....
Avatar f tn Yup like the post above said it is more addicting then vics the main drug in percs is oxycodone which is the same as oxycontin and I'm sure u have heard bout how bad oxycontin is.

My back has realy been hurting and the DR prescribed vicodin and Soma. Can I take both at once?
Avatar f tn is it true.....will vicodin and percs be pulled off the market? wow! that would really help me!
Avatar f tn My story I have been a pain pill addict for 7 yrs 5yrs vicodin and 2 yrs Oxycontin, which I swore I would never mess with.
Avatar f tn I began going through emotional trauma at the 4 week mark and gave in and took 4 vicodin. After that it was all down hill and I was very irresponsible letting emotions take over and continued using...I was mostly taking oxycontin, at the most 40 mg a day, vicodin( 4-5 at a time once a day) either that, or any other pain pill so I could get by. I continued to use even though I threw up every time, or made myself right after bc of what I did...
