Common Questions and Answers about What is the difference between percocet and roxicet

percocet

Avatar f tn You posted on an old thread that's from 2008. You should start your own thread so you have one that is dedicated to you. These older threads tend to get overlooked. An opiate is an opiate so switching from vicodin to percocet will not help. Sure, it will get you off the vicodin but you will then be hooked on percocet. Our brain can't tell the difference between the two. All it cares about is that you're filling the receptors.
Avatar f tn What is the difference between Oxycontin and percocet? I mean, I know Oxycontin is slow release, but percocet is Oxycodone and how is that different from the Oxycontin? I thought they were the same only, one was slow release and one was not, but there must be another difference... Right?

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?
Avatar m tn i had knee surgery at end of Dec. and am just now coming off the pain pills and am going nuts. I'm sure its the percocet but am alittle confused about the difference between Percocet and the oxycontin as they both have said....OXYCODONE... on the label is the oxy just a time release percocet?
Avatar m tn she asked how many perc i took in the last 2 days and i told her 3 thinking there was no diff between the two and the fact they are both yellow.i told her that they were a prescibed med and i had the bottle to prove it. they were left over when they switched me to perocet from the hydros.i have had over 30 diff. meds written to me and when they ran me out due to appt error i took three hydros to get me through the pain which requires stronger meds than they even give me.
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 My doctor said to continue taking 1/2 perc, for 2 weeks and if the antsy feeling does not go away it means that it is the full blown RLS, not withdrawal. I feel that 2 weeks is a long time. I was hoping to be off the pills then. Anyone, any comments?
Avatar n tn Yeah, it's pretty much the opiate count. The /500 is the tylenol and is supposed to help kick in the opiate but I've found that the 2nd number is really irrelevant for someone who has been using for awhile. I take 10mg's of oxycodone 3x a day. There is no tylenol in them.... 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....
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.
590280 tn?1310087366 Percocet is Oxycodone and Vicodin ES is Hydrocodone.
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?
Avatar m tn I took the Hydrocodone before the surgery, and a week later had the surgery done, and was given the Percocet. I took one pill for pain as needed which was usually no more than twice a day. Once I stopped taking the Percocet and started with the Roxicet, I was taking 2-3 pills a day even when I didn't necessarily need to for the purpose of pain relief. I took the Roxicet to keep the withdrawal symptoms at bay.
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.
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 f tn I have been trying to google this and find out what I can in the difference between these 2 areas as far as where lesions present in different areas. So far I have only become more confused. Thank you in advance.

696943 tn?1229366600 Does anyone know the difference between Bipolar Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder?
Avatar m tn I was just curious, does fentanyl patches work the same way as percocets? And what is the difference btw. a opioid, vs. opiate? The more knowledgable to all these drugs the better huh.
387767 tn?1345872027 Just wondering, what's the difference between the Weight Loss and the Dieting communities? I never know where to post.
Avatar f tn My best way to describe the baby movement (early movement) have you ever felt a gold fish swim in a bag of water?!?! That light swooshing is simular to the baby moving. Also when a fish pecks at the bag is simular to the kicks! I alway been able to feel the baby by laying on my belly (at this point of pregnancy it won't hurt baby)! If you lay on your belly and feel that fish movement you will know if it's gas or movement when you are not laying on your belly!
Avatar m tn The only difference between oxycodone and oxycontin is one is a time release and the other is not. Oxycontin is sopose to last 12 hours. Oxycodone is soposed to be taken every 4-6 hours. There are many myths between these 2 drugs. Just google "Difference beteeen Oxycodone and Oxycontin " and a heap of stuff comes up.
Avatar m tn m on day 12 off the norco 10s(vics when my script ran out) I am doing pretty good besides the sleep part but my question is...what is the difference between addiction and dependence? I was reading another post and someone mentioned that he/she thought someone was dependent not addicted.. I'm just curious. Thanks in advance for any responses.
