How long does feeling last he took one and 5 325 oxcodone his arms here but the not the feel he took at 6pm ## Hi Connie, It's a little difficult to understand the entirety of your post due to grammatical errors, but immediate release oxycodone has an estimated half-life of 4 hours - At which point only 2.5mg out of the 5mg would still be active. I believe this is why typical adult dosing charts suggest taking 1 tablet every 4-6 hours as needed for around the clock pain relief. 5mgs is also the smallest available dosage of oxycodone (at least to my knowledge) - So you could always talk with your doctor about going up to 7.5mg or 10mg if the 5mg isn't sufficient. I hope this helps!

Hey! So a little background on myself, I have been dealing with back pain for over 5 years, and finally switched to a new clinic who has confirmed that I have MS and Ankylosing Spondylitis Reactive Arthritis. I also have 2 discs out of place (L3 and L4). My doctor recently started me on Oxycodone HCl 5mg every 4-6 hours, but not to exceed 4 per day. Well here is my issue: they last a whopping hour and a half tops. So then I have to sit around in pain while being a stay-at-home mother to a 2 y/o, for at least another 2 hours. But I don't want to take more than prescribed, and I am not sure what to do at this point. Is there anything that lasts longer than this?? Thank you in advance! ## Hello, KLM0116! How are you? It is normal for your doctor to want to start you off with the lowest...

Can i cut the rp 20 mg oxycodone hydrochloride in half? I'm scared to take 20 mg. I'd like to take 10mg instead but scared I might overdose. The pill is a white pill with a 20 on one side and an r and purple with a score on it. ## Yes, these are regular release tablets, so they can be cut in half, as long as your doctor approves. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Are you on any other medications? ## I have a white r p 20 pill says it's oxycodone hydrochloride when I Google it.

I have a round white 20mg oxycodone pill. Is it ok to cut in half? I did and it made me feel really funny. ## What are the markings on it? I'm sorry, but I need this additional information in order to research it for you, can you please post back and clarify? Exactly what do you mean by it making you feel funny? Can you please be more specific regarding your symptoms? The FDA does warn that it may cause nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation as side effects. It also carries the risk of being habit forming. ## Reading your post made me feel really funny. If cutting that small of a milligram in half made you feel funny, I wish I had your tolerance. ## I take 20mg oxycodone but I can't split it in half. WHY is that?

Please explain the meaning of medication half life.Brother was prescribed oxycodon 20mg every 8 hrs. Then decided to take instead 1/2 tablet every 4 hrs and it really did terrible things to him.For three days he was awake and moving;argumentive;and unaware of what was actually going on.Thought pattern was totally disorgqanized.Since the tiny pills are not scored I finally made it clear to him they are not to be cut in half and he is not to change the prescription instructions ever. ## If they are extended release they can NOT be cut in half. Death can occur. Once they are cut, the layering that allows the medication to be slowly released is all dumped into the system. Quoted " Do NOT break, alter, chew, dissolve, or split OxyContin sustained-release tablets. Doing so may cause the r...

Yes, I was prescribed roxicodone 5mg for an increasing breast cancer, but I was wondering would 2.5 mg help me sleep also?

It also carries the risk of being habit forming. How long have you been having trouble sleeping? ## This has been going on for about 3 weeks started off on tramadol and was immediately bumped to the roxicodone

I just realized my painkillers are not scored down the middle,they are small yellow round tablets with an fancy V on one side and 230 on other.It it okay to break them? I've never seen these before. ## Hello, Dee Dee! How are you? That's actually meant to be an oriental C, it is logo used by Alvogen and yes, they list them as containing 10mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen in a regular release formulation, so they can be cut or broken, if your doctor approves. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with?

Definitely not oxycodone. I am prescribed this. It is a generic Xanax (Alprazolam) 1mg. ## I'm just curious, who said that this pill was supposed to be Oxycodone? My research also verifies that a round blue pill with a cursive-like "R" on one side and "031" (over a score line) on the other half is identified as a 1mg Alprazolam tablet, used for treating anxiety. For added confirmation, the pill itself is reportedly manufactured by Actavis and carries a National Drug Code of 00228-2031. Hope this helps! ## No the blue Roxi 30's do NOT contain an opioid blocker....M 30/is what I get.. ## Absolutely positively has NO BLOCKER in them.12 years being on 30 mg oxycdone & someone's def misinformed you. ## No they do not, I take them for cancer, and asked the phar...

I filled my Rx at a different pharmacy to save time and received this version of Percocet a333. It's terrible! The regular ones I receive (by a completely different manufacturer than this or Watson) work pretty well. My issue is just worsening so They just aren't effective. Then when I opened this bottle, noticed the texture was different. It was early morning and dark so I took my normal 1/2 so I can go back to sleep. Felt no relief like I normally feel enough to sleep comfortably. Had to double check to make sure I didn't put Tylenol in one of the bottles for travel. Took the other half. Feels as weak as Tylenol in regards to my level of relief (almost none). Took my next full dose at when enough time had passed. Still, very little relief. This isn't the first time this w

I had brain surgery 3 mos. ago. Was almost off the oxycodone when I developed a bone infection in my skull. Went on very high dose. Came out of the hospital with a PICC line and on 20 mg ir oxycodone 6 x a day. Down to 5mg 6 x a day but now I am having a very hard time reducing anymore. Can I go down by half and not have any wd symptoms? Or should I come down slower. ## It might be best to taper slower, your doctor should be able to help you set up a proper schedule. Are you taking the regular release, or the time released formulation?

It is blank on other side. There is a score mark. Someone said hydrocodone another said oxycodone. ## Are there any markings on it, or just the score? If there are no markings, it can be ruled out as being a U.S. manufactured and approved prescription medication, because they are all required to have markings to enable their identification. However, it could be any one of a large number of over the counter products and there is also a small chance that it could be a foreign medication. Does anyone have any ideas what this tablet contains?

I just took a 10mg percocet at about 8am. I'm out of them now, but I have two 5mg oxycodone k|18 pills. Can I take 2 of those to equal one 10mg??? ## It won't be exactly equal, since the K18 tablets only contain Oxycodone, but lack the Acetaminophen that is in Percocet, but you can do so, if your doctor approves.
