mxing oxycodone with hyrdocodone

[Panda51988]

swim wasnt able to get enough oxycodone 5 mg to get him feeling good. but has a few vicodin 5mg laying around. would taking both of them at the same time make swim sick or anything. this may be a dumb question, but swim was told it would and i was just checking for him.

If he combines a usual dose of oxycodone with a usual dose of hydrocodone, he is likely to end up with an overdose. Half a usual dose of both combined will most likely be relatively safe. But too many vicodins aren't a good idea because of the acetaminophen.

Anyways, this doesn't belong to the Codeine forum.

swim usualy takes 40mg of eith oxy or hydro but could only get ahold of 30mg of oxy. but has 10mg of hydro laying around. swim is not worried about the apap (good looking out tho). swim was just wondering if taking a usual dose but mixed is ok.

sorry, not sure were this should be then?

If one is not opiate nieve than a reg dose of oxycodone + a reg dose of hydrocodone will not cause an overdose. Swim has done this many a time and like you alluded acetaminophen starts to become the more important part of this

Swim would not think twice about doing this, if one is used to 40 mg oxy (im guessing these are chewed or the xr is somehow disabled?) then 30 mg oxy + 10 mg hydro should not be a problem...in fact swim likes mixing opiates as you get a full spectrum of effects.

This in fact is what opium is, a mixture of several opiate alkaloids that in combination produce an effect that is definately not the sum of the individual alkaloids.

Just swims $.02

Two full recreational doses of opiates (the amount of a fully recreational dose depending on individual tolerance) can be dangerous. Opiates have a narrow therapeutic index.

This is not swims experience, but has seen this in other people so maybe I should rephrase what I said...that is

More likely than not this will not cause an overdose, but may cause unwanted side effects associated with too high of a dose, particularly in more sensitive people.

[Panda51988]

maybe this is not comming out clearly. swim wants to take his normal dose of 40mg but has never mixed oxy with hydro.

swim will be taking a total of 40mg. but 10 with be hydro and 20 will b oxy.
swim was told mixing hydro with oxy will give an upset stomach

[JaWill88]

no. swiy wont. it doesn't matter what you opioids swiy mixes as long as the dose is equivelant to what was desired in the first place. which seems to be what swiy wants to do. swiy wont have any more upset stomach that would have if not mixing. enjoy!

Personally, I think that the British version of 'The Office' is the funniest fuckin thing known to man. Pure comedic genius! Unfortunately, all the subtlety was lost in the American remake resulting in a mediocre counterfeit.

You're probably thinking that this post has no place in a codeine forum. True, but then again neither does a question about hydrocodone and oxycodone.

Hydrocodone is a weaker opiate than Oxycodone. So in your scenario a regular dose is 40 mg of Oxycodone. Since the scenario involves 30 mg of Oxycodone and 10 mg of Hydrocodone, the mixing of the two is just fine.

it is not uncommon for persons with chronic pain to be prescribed a time released version of Oxycodone or morphine. A doctor will then (sometimes) prescribe hydrocodone with acetaminophen or ibuprofen for times when the pain threshold is broken (also known as breakthrough pain).

in short, mixing those opiates is not only "fine" it is standard practice in some cases.
