Roxicet oxycodone

Common Questions and Answers about Roxicet oxycodone

oxycontin

Avatar f tn So I have been on oxycodone and roxicet ( not at the same time, the dr will write it for one or the other) Both meds are 5-325 strength. It seems like everytime I get a script for the roxicet I end up getting very sick to my stomach and vomiting. I am taking the medication as prescribed. I know the two medicines are basically the samething so my question is, why is one medication making me sick to my stomach while the other one does not?
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 n tn s either a Roxicet 30mg or an Oxycontin 30mg. The Roxicet is an immediate release of the whole 30mg of oxycodone and the Oxycontin, if swallowed whole, is a timed release version of 30mg of oxycodone. Secondly, telling a doctor that you have an opiate addiction does not mean you won't be treated for pain. If the doctor is a good doctor, then it just means that they are more cautious with treating your pain. That's why addictionologists are great alternatives for us addicts.
1214626 tn?1288106214 ROXIES is a slang name for Roxicet. Roxicet is the generic name for Percocet. (oxycodone + tylonol.) Very potent, highly addictive but very effective schedule 2 narcotic. Illegal to have without a prescription. As to why it is being snorted, snorting is a way addicts use certain drugs as a quicker way to achieve a high than ingesting. Opiates give a feeling of greatness and euphoria that nothing can explain. The reason people pay so much for them is in short one of the more potent pain killers.
Avatar m tn I have been taking Roxicet for 7 years and need to come off now for work. I take about 5 a day and found that i cant ween with roxicets. I want to ween with suboxones so i picked up ten of them. I understand i will have so rough days but how would you taper with this many? I can get more subs but would like to see if i can do it with this amount. Do i suck on these or eat them? Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar f tn Percocet is Oxycodone and Acetaminophen. Percocet is a brand name and there is no liquid Percocet. There is a liquid version of Oxycodone and Acetaminophen called Roxicet, however. It's not necessarily measured in mg's though. It's measured in ml's in which 5ml contaings 5mg of Oxycodone and 325mg of Acetaminophen. Now that I've written all of that...I have to ask..why do you ask?
947931 tn?1251495088 I want to drug test my son for Roxicet or the street name Blues...will an opiate test work ?
Avatar n tn I've been on doctor prescribed Roxicet (5/325) for the last 4 years due to neck and shoulder pain. I had gotten to the point where I was taking 2 pills every 4-6 hours. Due to some long hard work with physical therapy I was beginning to feel like I could start going off the Rox. Then on Monday I got a "bug". I threw up for 2 days. Since I wasn't able to hold anything down I didn't take my meds.
Avatar f tn I have been taking Oxycodone 30mg for almost 3 years. Started on 5mg and my dr increased over the years. I have two hernitated discs in my back & my pain at time was so awful. I finally received a epidural and starting to feel better. Saw my dr today and he stopped my oxycodone and put me on Butrans patch 20mg. It has not been 24 hrs yet and I am starting to get ill. Will this get better? He told me I would be fine, but I feel super sick.
Avatar n tn I here about Loratab, Vicodin etc. I was on Roxicet (percs 5/325) which was bad enough. Are they all just about the same except for the opiate amount? I just want to know so when I here people talk about what they were on I will have some idea about how addictive they are.
217599 tn?1202850952 i'm not even sure what oxycodone is.
217599 tn?1202850952 i have been tapering off norco, slowly for family reasons, and ran out before the taper was complete. i have 4 roxicet given to me, and want to know how small to break them up to equal 1/4 norco. i need to do this to get through the weekend as i need to drive in the city and cznnot have any more nights of zero sleep. i know driving in the city is nothing to a lot of you, but i am a country girl, and need my wits about me.
Avatar n tn Just a quick correction...Percocet is oxycodone with Acetaminophen, and Percodan is Oxycodone with Aspirin, not Tylenol. There are other, less common combinations, like Vicoprofen, which would be Hydrocodone with Ibuprofen instead of Tylenol (Acetaminophen). Vicodin, Norco, Lortab are all Hydrocodone. Dilaudid comes both in oral and injectable forms, with doses starting at usually 1 mg. Fentanyl patches typically start at 25 mcg/hr (micrograms). I have seen lower doses, 12.
1029192 tn?1292981918 So, I finally decided to see my general practitioner today because I just couldn't wait until Tuesday to see my specialist. I really needed to get it off my chest, how I've been feeling...so, I was lucky enough to get an appointment this morning. Mind you, there are, like 20 doctors in this group, and the one I managed to get just happened to be a co-worker's father...anyway...
Avatar n tn Roxicodone or Roxicet (oxycodone HCL) was my DOC too. I used to get the blue 30's and was doing between 5-10 a day. I detox from suboxone and then I relapsed because it was so bad onto roxi's again, and the detox from oxycodone is nothing compared to suboxone. I would also snort the roxi's too, stop doing that now. I have serious sinus problems from 4-5 years of heavy snorting it is so irritating to always have to carry tissue around because my nose runs.
Avatar m tn 30mg "perc" is not really percocet (percs are oxycodone/APAP, i.e., oxycodone/tylenol) - what you're taking is Roxicet (nickname is Roxys) which is more like oxycontin (OC).
Avatar f tn Roxicodone is one of the more popular brand names of the opiate oxycodone. Oxycodone is semi-synthetic and was created in the mid 20th century to improve upon other opiates such as morphine or codeine. The withdrawals from oxycodone are quite severe, so something is not jiving in this story, because if he just stopped cold turkey, he would not be a very happy boy. However, if he is still using any opiate other then Demerol, his pupils should be pin point, not dilated.
Avatar m tn I am currently snorting 8 30mg's of Roxicet per day. I also take about 9 10/650 loricet mixed in. I want to quit and don't want to do Suboxone again. I have a supplier and access to him so I can go as slow as needed. Please provide a taper schedule that will allow me to work through it. No one knows about addiction and can't go to clinic or through serious withdrawals. Is that even possible? In the meantime I have started to try to take 1/2 roxicet and swallow other half.
Avatar f tn on one side and "McNEIL" on the other, contains acetaminophen 300 mg and caffeine 15 mg, in combination with codeine phosphate 30 mg. Nonmedicinal ingredients: cellulose, cornstarch, and magnesium stearate. This medication does not contain gluten, lactose, sodium metabisulfite, or tartrazine.
Avatar n tn Hello and Welcome, I recently went cold turkey from 600 mg roxicet daily and I had major w/d for about 5 days and following that it wasn't so bad. I recommend if you really want it to work try and taper down a few days before and look up the Thomas Recipe and use that. It helped me a great deal. I do not recommend suboxone due to your low daily dose but it is extremely you get the right aftercare. Join NA meetings, see a professional, and stay active in these forums.
Avatar f tn Well... Most of you know me, for those who don't, I'm a Percocet/Roxicet addict. I WAS taking up to 150 mgs a day of oxycodone. I tried to taper to 30 mgs and then quit in December then failed miserably. My new plan is going VERY, VERY WELL! I'm using Lexapro to address my anxiety issues and depression, and I've been taking it for almost two months and it's been BEAUTIFUL! My life is coming back! Anyway, I'm down to (GASP!) ONE pill a day! Yahooooo!
Avatar n tn I have reached a point where I must let my 29 yr old son go; I can do nothing to stop his self-destructiveness & any attempts on my part are met w/ near-violent hostility, denials, excuses, and placement of blame on everything & everyone except himself. He has been in every possible rehab program since age 14, & has spent most of his 20's in prison for drug-related crimes.
