How Long It Take For Oxycodone To Work 15m

I am being changed from 50mch every 48 hrs and 40 mg of hydrocodone a day to oxycodone and the doc only gave me 15 mg three times a day ir release and i am hurting bad. I have a feeling this is not even close to what i am use to. What should i do or say to my doc. I am working with the va military docs which are very strict. ## So you were on a Fentanyl patch that you changed every 48 hours and the Hydrocodone and they've now cut you down to 15mgs of Oxycodone 3 times a day? There's really no way this is going to work, you're going from a time release patch of the most potent narcotic available, down to just 45mgs a day of Oxycodone and that's not even taking the additional Hydrocodone into account. Did they say why they made the switch? Learn more Oxycodone details here...

I've only been taking subs for the last 2 days roughly at maybe 8-10mg for those couple of days. How long should I wait until I take oxycodone to make sure the effects actually work. I have no other history with suboxone and the last time I took any oxycodone was a little over 2 weeks ago. I would say my metabolism is above average. However, I just don't want to waste the 15mg of oxycodone that I do have. Also, do i have any risk of randomly having withdrawals from the oxycodone after taking it this one time? ## Also, I forgot to mention that it has been almost 2 days since the last dose of suboxone(which was about 3mg). ## I'd like to know the answer to this as well as most cases have people who have been on sub for years. ## Finally the question I need answerd... and no an...

How long would it take for the yellow elliptical shaped endocet 10 mg pill to start working, once you take it ? ## Endocet contains Acetaminophen and Oxycodone and it is a regular formulation medication, so it takes about 15 to 20 minutes to begin entering your blood stream and start working.

Are there any other questions or concerns? ## Can I safely take 5/325mg endocet after having taken Meloxicam 15mg shortly before?

i am on oxycodone 15mg 4 times a day and 30mgs of methadone. I now added a 75mg patch of Fentanyl. Will the patch work? Will i feel the patch? It's been on for 3 hours and i don't feel any different. ## I'm on 30 to 40 mgs of methadone daily and 15 mgs of oxycodone daily. I ran out of my meds and cant fill my them until tomorrow. I was given 2 x 75mgs fentanyl patches to use for 24hrs. I can fill my meds tomorrow morning. I used one of the patches and i just put the other one on. Will i have withdrawals or should i be ok for 24 hours? I will have meds at 9:01am tomorrow morning. ## @Someone who hurts bad, Sorry to hear about your situation. Unfortunately the only way to find out if something will work is to try it. And from an outside perspective it sounds like the 75mcg of ...

I need to know what the best generic brand name is for oxycodone 15mg is? ## Hello, Derek! How are you? They are all equivalent, but for various reasons, some work better for some people than others. The only thing you can really do is try the one that your pharmacy has available and see if it alleviates your pain. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Several of us have found the oxycodone manufactured by ZyGenerics to be very effective. We are unable to purchase this brand at Walgreens, Safeway or Kroger stores. Suggest you look for a smaller independent pharmacy that can carry the products they choose. Walgreens, Safeway, and Kroger are pushing pain products by KVK Tech Inc. that we have found to be absolutely "poison pills". Suggest you stay away from their products if ...

I have had two cervical fusions, five levels of herniated lumbar disk, stenosis, bone spurs and arthritis. I have been taking Oxycodone 15mg 3 X daily for one year. I have noticed less pain relief for shorter periods lately. I see a pan management MD once a month. I don't want to come across as asking for stronger drugs. I would like to know what the next step is when Oxycodone is not effective any longer? Also, how is the best way to talk to my doctor about this? I have had steroid shots and neurotomies performed with little success. I am still keeping up my Grandchildren every day and have no problems with addiction. I have noticed my pain has slowed me down though and I'm just tired of hurting all the time. Any info will be very appreciated. Thank you! ## Its is tolerance and...

I have been on Percocet 10/650 for around 8 yrs. now for my back. They cannot do surgery because the bone and discs in my spine are not strong enough to hold any type of device. They have now changed it to Oxycodone 15 mg but doesn't seem to help. Is Oxycodone 15 stronger than the Percocet 10/650? I am NOT looking for drugs and the high that some give. My profession is very important to me and I would NEVER risk loosing it due to drugs, however, I am on my feet for at least 12 hrs. a day on concrete. I am just curious if the Oxy 15 is stronger and better to take or is there something better. ## The problem may be caused by the lack of Acetaminophen, it generally enhances the effects of the Oxycodone and helps it work better. Have you consulted your doctor? If they still permit you t...

I just refilled my monthly meds for 15 mg oxycodone hcl. Been on this medication since 2002. I'm a kidney patient and cannot take aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or muscle relaxers due to very low kidney function. This new white oblong tablet is scored on one side with initials R H and other side says "15". These are not working for my pain. Nor do I know if they contain any other ingredient that I'm not supposed to take. Please let me know why these are not working. Taking 2 at a time and still not helping. Thank u. ## Is the marking possibly RP 15? If so, these tablets are manufactured by Rhodes Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 15mgs of Oxycodone in a regular release formulation. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the...

I just renewed my prescription for 15mg oxycodone and noticed they are a different colored green (darker green) than the last ones. I'm also noticing that this new script is not working for my pain and wonder if anybody else has had these kind of issues? Is it better to just get the actual roxicodone and not the generic? Thank you! ## Yes, I also noticed the green 15mg also give me more side effects, swallowing issues, nervousness, dry throat. I'm telling my pharmacy I just want the white ones. Not sure if you're on the generic. They don't work as well, but have less side effects. ## I'm passing out alot hav u had this issue I'll be eating and just fall out ## What are the markings on the tablets in question? The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of...

Hi, im Tk and i have been taking 15mg oxycodone for about 5 years at 4 to 6 a day and tramadol 300mg once a day for a neck surgery i had with fusion c6 c7. I have bad nerve damage in my right arm and alot of pain from both, plus have a metal plate for my right orbital. I work in a very heavy lifting job and going out on disability is not an option. I am still kinda young and dont wanna not be able to not work but i definitely push myself everyday. It is so hard some days but i want to stop taking both and just deal with the pain i have or try other options because i already know i am addicted and have a dependency because i go through bad WDs if i run out early. It's rough but it is what it is. But I want to stop. I cant take it no more. These things are going to ruin my life if the...

i just started taking the oxycodone 15 mg imm tablets how long are they supposed to last before you take another on ## What has your doctor advised? Generally, the immediate release Oxycodone is prescribed to be taken, as needed, every 4 to 6 hours for pain, however, it can vary depending on the severity of pain. It may also cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth and constipation. ## thanks so much as i said i am new to this med and i have loritab as well my pain is very severe due to several things wrong with my spine , spinal stenous, ruptured disks and spinal disease, the oxycodone seems to work a small amount just doesn't seem to last long due they make a stonger oxycodone that is like the one i am taking ## Judi, there is no immediate release in a higher dosag...

Hello im currently taking oxycodone 30 mg i was taking 15 mg it seems like the 15s worked much better . I wonder why . anyone else havs this happen or have an explanation.please help ## Hello, D Cobb! How are you? I'm sorry that they aren't working well for you. Are they both regular release tablets? The reason I'm asking is because if the 15mg was regular release and the 30mg ones are time released Oxycontin tablets, then that may explain the issue. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Such a problem could also occur if anything else has changed…. do you take the new ones at the same intervals you took the 15mg ones? How many times a day ...

I am 35 and was recently hurt bad on a construction site. I've been getting 15mg oxycodone every month (the small round green ones). I've had the (M) brand the (V) brand the A 214 brand and all have been good. Tuesday I filled my script and they give me these large oval pills N/P ON ONE SIDE, 15 THE OTHER. Well they are so horrible - they are worse than Tylenol. They relieve no pain they don't help me sleep. No tired feeling or anything before I took 1. My pain level was a 10, and an hour later still a 10. They do not work. This morning I took a higher dose and felt no relief at all. 3 months ago was the first time I ever took a pain pill so it isn't me. If the pharmacy ever hands you this brand hand it right back or you will be furious. ## Hello, Tony! How are you? I am...

Why so much filler and less oxy in the RP 15s ## Hello, Jayjay! How are you? These tablets are manufactured by Rhodes Pharmaceuticals and they list them as containing 15mgs of Oxycodone in a regular release formulation. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Are you saying that these ones don't seem to work as well for you? Has anyone else experienced problems with these ones? ## They sucks don't like em not as strong ## I started taking the RHO brand on 2/25 and have been sick ever since! Now I know why!

what is the difference beween morphine 15mg and oxycodone 10-325mg ## Hello, Brenda! How are you? For pain relieving efficacy, these doses are roughly equivalent. However, Morphine and Oxycodone are two different narcotics. While both have been proven effective, one sometimes works better for some people than another. Being coupled with the Acetaminophen can also make the Oxycodone work better for some people, so they can take a lower dose of it and still achieve adequate pain relief. The FDA classifies both of these medication as being narcotic analgesics. So they carry 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? ## I've been on Oxycodone 10/325 4xdaily for a cou...

OXYCODONE/APAP 5/325MG TAB and MORPHINE 15MG ER TAB (MALL-8315) but I have been on this same very medication for years on and off but for the last year and a half straight and it is no longer working how they should. How do I ask my doctor to raise the dosage without her thinking i'm an addict or something ## You should just honestly tell her that you've been taking them as prescribed, but are having more pain than usual. It is perfectly normal for your body to get used to the dosage you're taking of any medication that you've been taking for a long time and for it to no longer work as well. Any good doctor should be well aware of this and should expect it to eventually happen. Learn more Percocet details here. Learn more Morphine details here. Is there anything else I c...

I was on Oxy Ir 5, taken off market, then put on oxycodone capsule tan brown, now they are not avaliable, substituted 5mg QLT. do not work. are all of the capsule..even 15mg off market? what is still avaliable? ## I too was on the capsules and now my pharmacy can no longer get them and I have been switched to tablets. Part of the FDA's war on drugs. The only war is being waged on chronic pain sufferers. ## I agree with the effectiveness of OXIR - I was never told that it was not available, but instead the tablet was a substitution. Does anyone know if the capsules have been permanently discontinued?? If so, I shall have to switch to another medication. Very sad for those of us trying to live with chronic/acute debilitating pain. Thanks!! ## i had shoulder surgery and was given oxy 5...
