Hydrocodone to Oxycodone.Not sure what to think.

SWIMs doctor just switched him from 10 mg. hydrocodone every 4 hrs. to 7.5 mgs. oxycodone every 4 hrs. SWIM doesnt know how he feels about this. On one hand they seem ot "come on" faster and harder but they dont seem to last nearly as long. SWIM has taken hydrocodone for as long as he can remember. If anyone has made this switch or knows about both types of RX SWIM would appreciate someone elses view. Thanks.

Re: Hydrocodone to Oxycodone.Not sure what to think.

Oxycodone is far better.What exact medications was swiy getting?Was the hydrocodone vicodin,lorcet?Swim doesn't hear of hydrocodone prescribed by itself often.Is swiy got just plain oxycodone with no acetaminophen swim would say it's a good thing.

Re: Hydrocodone to Oxycodone.Not sure what to think.

SWIM was getting Vicodin hps with monsterous amounts of accet. After bringing this up to his doctor he said he wanted to give SWIM Percocets to get him "used" to oxycodone. SWIMs doctor said he would give him Oxycontin next month but he had to go through proper DEA protocol. SWIM thinks the percocets work great for his pain, but they seem to only last for an hour or so. Maybe SWIMs tollerance to the Hydrocodone is affecting the Oxy?

Re: Hydrocodone to Oxycodone.Not sure what to think.

Why not simply straight oxycodone?Swim doesn't think that that is regulated like oxycontin is.After all that acetaminophen swiy does not need another acetaminophen containing medicine.

Re: Hydrocodone to Oxycodone.Not sure what to think.

SWIM didn't get that either but he figures the docs know what they are doing. SWIM has had serious addiction issues in the past with methadone for the same reason, he was taking too much accet. and through TOTAL self medicating got himself if a hell of a mess. It took him alot to get back on track. He didnt know alot about pain meds until he started posting on the forum. SWIM just trusts his doctors too much he thinks. SWIM really thinks that some members that post on this forum know more about pharmacology than his neurosurgeon and orthopedist comdined. SWIM is ever gratefull for everything he has learned.

Re: Hydrocodone to Oxycodone.Not sure what to think.

Hmm swim thinks acetaminophen is wretched,over prescribed, and should be removed from the shelfs.Hell replace it with painkillers that work and don't slowly poison people

Re: Hydrocodone to Oxycodone.Not sure what to think.

Yes they take away opiates the true and natural and beautiful painkiller because they don't want people altering their perception and experiencing joy aswell as curing pain.Then they give us disgusting things that eat peoples livers and give them slow and painful deaths.Swim wonders just how much the FDA and the DEA and other such people really care about our health?Swim thinks the more easily obtainable opiates with hydrocodone in them and such have the acetaminophen so they can systematically murder addicts.

Re: Hydrocodone to Oxycodone.Not sure what to think.

oxycodone is generic oxycontin first of all
hydrocodone is generic for vicodin
there are no pills that contain only hydrocodone it always has either tyleno or asprin.
Percocet is oxycodone with acet Tylenol
for that prescript it is written on regular forms
oxycodone without anything else in it , used to be called a triplicate prescription. They don't use the triplicate type forms anylonger
instead they use a special form that has water marks and forgery prevention on it.
it looks like a cross between a bank check and a bank note.
DEA requires that when a schedule 2 drug is prescribed.
Your dr. is following strict guidlines that are set inplace by DEA

Re: Hydrocodone to Oxycodone.Not sure what to think.

No oxycodone is not always oxycontin.Oxycontin is time released oxycodone.Swim had some oxycodone pills that were in no way oxycontin.

Re: Hydrocodone to Oxycodone.Not sure what to think.

Oxycodone is the substance's name, OxyContin is a brand name for a oxycodone extended release product.

Re: Hydrocodone to Oxycodone.Not sure what to think.

The switch probably happened because of tolerance building. Doctors often switch from one opioid to another so that the body responds better to the treatment. And 7.5mg Oxycodone is more potent than 10mg hydrocodone so it is also a moderate step up.

Thanks,
Mj

Re: Hydrocodone to Oxycodone.Not sure what to think.

Oxycodone is not only more potent but it doesn't have that sweaty,almost stimulant like feel hydrocodone sometimes has.Swim is just NOT a fan of hydrocodone!

After a couple of days SWIM thinks he likes the Oxycodone better than Hydrocodone.

Thank you MrJim, SWIM thought his doctor was dropping his dose. And seeing as after his last doc visit he got the worst news yet it didnt make sense.

Re: Hydrocodone to Oxycodone.Not sure what to think.

SWIM always found the bodily effects to be stronger with hydrocodone, and the psychological effects (euphoria) to be stronger with oxycodone. SWIM always remembers getting more of a body buzz with hydrocodone but less so with oxycodone. At the same time oxycodone always gave swim more euphoria.

The half-life is a little bit shorter with oxycodone so the effect won't last as long, but at 4 hour dosing that shouldn't be a problem. Swim has always found oxycodone to be a very efficient pain killer when used for medicinal purposes.

There is one formulation of hydrocodone that swim found better than the others at pain relief. It was called Vicoprofen (hydrocodone/ibuprofen). Ibuprofen alone actually offers swim some pain relief, while acetaminophen (paracetamol) will not releive even the smallest of aches. Actually, now in the United States there is an oxycodone/ibuprofen formulation available now.

When swim was involved in a car accident and was on meds for awhile, they gave him hydrocodone/acetaminophen and an anti-inflammatory on top of that... Would have made a lot more sense to just prescribe Swim a hydrocodone/ibuprofen pill.

Re: Hydrocodone to Oxycodone.Not sure what to think.

Swim has no clue why but hydrocodone sometimes makes him feel bad now.Feverish,sick to the stomach,headache.It's pretty much the weakest and the lamest of the opiates.It was good before swim had met the big hitters in the opiate world but now it's useless.
