Which Is Stronger Hydrocodone 10 325 Or Oxycodone 5 325 (Page 5)

Updated

I have been taking Hydrocodone 10/325 for chronic pain, 1 pill every 6 hours. My Dr. just prescribed Oxycodone 5/325 with up to 2 pills every 6 hours. Which is stronger?

I've had exactly the same problem. I do great on qualitest Hydrocodone APAP 10/325 for my multitude of chronic pain DX. Doc had tried everything else and they just have too many side effects-can't focus, dizzy, sweating, nausea. I was stable on 1pill every four hours for three years and then he kept wanting to change me to another drug. It's hard to convince someone that only goes by textbooks that you get better pain relief with hydro bcz they just don't believe you. Watson sucks and makes me have anxiety. They use cornstarch as a filler so if you are allergic to corn, watch out!

No more then 3000 mg a day or it will start to destroy the liver. Hence they took it from being 750 mg in pills (4 pills daily x 750=3000) down to 325. To be safe only add an additional 325mg per pill if you take 4 vics a day.

Neither hydrocodone or oxycodone hav ASPIRIN they hav generic tylenol 325mg. Your btl should be labeled as such. For ex. 10/325
Hydrocodone/acetaminophen . In Oct 2014 the go changed the amt of tylenol a person could safely use to no more than 4000mg per day. That's when the "lortabs " were pulled from shelves bc they all had 500mg gen tylenol and re marketed as Norco with the 325mg gen tylenol. The tylenol is what causes liver damage taken in excessive amounts.

Julianna, the FDA has changed the max amount of Tylenol ( Acetaminophen) in a 24 hr period to 3,000 mg. Norco, Lortab and Vicodin are all hydrocodone/acetaminophen combination. All three were around when there was 500 mg Tylenol (Acetaminophen) allowed in prescription drugs and all three are still are. They only thing that changes was the amount of Tylenol (Acetaminophen) in each tablet. The actual names are Brand Names.

Trust me I know what you're talking about. I've had 9 surgeries. Back and the others are osteo issues. And yes I hurt all the time. There is not a day that goes by where I don't hurt. I have to take 15 milligrams of oxy and morphine sulfate. It makes me sleeping sometimes. So I believe your plight.

325 is not Asprin it is Acetamine....big difference if you have life threatening blood thinning disorders. Be careful what you post!

I've read a lot about how going barefoot has helped many people with foot, leg and back problems. Since I started going bf as much as I could, it helped my back and leg from sciatic pain. Mine was minor from what I've read and from what you say. However, it might be worth at least reading about. A 10 dollar book called "50 reasons to go barefoot" is an exceptional read.
I had back surgery on L4 and 5. Back is now great but I've been taking oxy 5/325 and now hydro 5/325 for numbness in my leg and foot.

Rotator surgery. Was taking oxycod/also 5-325. Lots of pain and spasms. Now prescribed Norco tab 10-325. Will this help? What will this cost and is generic better? Stopped valum 10: too much confusion

Since you took 10mg hydrocodone for so long you are addicted. Now on 5mg of oxycodone you are experiencing the withdrawal of opiods. Irritable is the tell tale sign I'm coming down from Norco, I can't imagine how it must be after years of use.

Pharmacies lie a lot because they want to buy the cheapest generic from their supplier. Just go to different pharmacies and tell them you need the yellow one because the white upsets your stomach. They can order it if they really want your business.

I had no idea that oxycodone was Percocet I've taken Percocet before they make me real sick in my stomach so I don't know if I'm going to be able to take time release oxycodone that's what my Doctor is recommending he was subscribing me a hundred and eighty 10325 of the hydrocodone with Governor Christie's new law new bill he now gave me 120 60 pills a month less I'm in constant pain

Try to take either just morphine 15 mg or oxycodone 5 mg w/o any acetaminophen which kills your liver!

Hydocodone has tylenol, not aspirin . The tylenol is extremely damaging to your liver.

I've had bad pain caused by arthritis and pustular psoriasis and always preferred taking hydrocodone 10 during the day bc they don't make me sleepy or groggy and it keeps the pain controlled. I've also taking oxicodone 10 and they do also keep help control the pain, but they tend to make me sleepy and I can't work as well during the day bc I feel tired and loopy. But everyone responds differently to meds so take what works best for you and helps you get through the day. Good luck!
