Is Roxicodone As Strong Percocet

11 Topics Found

I have been prescribed 30 mg roxicodone. Changed from Percocet. Seems to be working today. (First day) do they last all day. My pain was gone in 30 minutes. Wondering about tolerance. Took 10 mg Percocet 4 × day for a year. I have fluid on my brain and back problems ## How many times a day has your doctor instructed you to take it? The base narcotic in both are the same, it's Oxycodone, so equivalency is going to depend on how often you are taking it. Usually, according to NIH reports, Roxicodone is taken 3 to 4 times a day. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth.

Is this meds stronger then perks ?the generic kind? ## Hi yvette, The pill you're describing marked "223" reportedly contains 5mgs of Oxycodone hydrochloride. But by comparison, Percocet is known to come in dosages containing up to 10mg of Oxycodone hydrochloride + 325mg of Acetaminophen. And even though some manufacturers tend to vary by strength, I would say that it all depends on what dosage of Percocet you get, since it is available in 2.5mg/325mg dosages as well. Hope this helps! ## Thank you so much for getting back to me .very helpful.

I have been in pain management for 12 yrs. I have just been changed to 10 mg roxicodone 4xs day. use to take 10 mg perocet. Plus my normal 80 mg. Oxycontin 4 per day. My question is what is the difference between 10mg roxicodone and 10mg perocet ## Hello, Suzie! How are you? Percocet contains Acetaminophen and Oxycodone, the Acetaminophen augments the action of the narcotic, so it makes it more potent and effective for some people. However, the Roxicodone only contains the Oxycodone, by itself. 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. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Not in the least the same Roxy 10 not nearly as strong plus quick release.Oxycontin 8...

i currently take percocet 5s twice a day if my doc ups me to roxycodone will it help me n is it the same drug only stronger ## Percocet and Roxicodone are different drugs, in that Percocet contains Acetaminophen + Oxycodone, while Roxicodone only contains Oxycodone (but generally at a higher dosage than Percocet). In that regard, comparing the strength really depends on how high of a dose your doctor prescribes you for the Roxicodone.

can you tell me the equivalent or difference in percocet 10/325 to roxicodone 10/325? ## There is no such thing as a Roxicodone 10/325, Roxicodone is just a brand name for an instant release of Oxycodone, but it does not have Acetaminophen in it like the Percocet does. ## I have pills engrave with 512 number, but sometimes they sim stronger than percocet 5mg Culd they be 10 mg? ## no the 512 is a 5mg perc. it is generic so that may make you feel a lilttle different then whatever else you were taking before... ## I took myself off 15mg of Oxycontin. Now I'm on 10/325 Percoset 1 every 4 hours. How long can I be on this safely.

small white round pill w/ M in a square on front and back has a slit w/ 0552 on it ## Pill Image This is Oxycodone Instant Release 5mgs, a generic for Roxicodone. ## Is this the same as percocet or not? I realize they r both for the same purpose. However, I feel percocet works better (stronger). Does this make sense?

Can someone please help me find out where I can find Roxycotins? I have called all around and pharmacies don't carry them. Is it a disclosed pharmacy I don't know about or what? Anyone with any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank You. ## do you mean roxicodone which is basically a strong percocet with no tylenol and is quick-release. or are you talking about oxycontin which im not sure but i think they are stronger than roxicodone but are extended release and should last you throughout the day. ## Roxicodone is a name brand for regular release Oxycodone. Oxycontin would be the time released version of Oxycodone. Same drug, just different formulations. I ran into the same problem since we have moved to Maryland, most pharmacies here do not carry any Schedule III meds!...

very small round white pill with M on one side and 0552 on one side is this a generic for percocet or lortab?? ## Neither! This tablet contains just 5mgs of Oxycodone, a generic for Roxicodone. Percocet and Lortab also contain Acetaminophen. This is a narcotic pain reliever. Some of the most common side effects include: drowsiness, nausea, dry mouth and constipation. ## How much stronger is Oxycodone 5mg tab than a regular aspiran. ## The oxycodone 5 mg immediate release prescribed to me has M on one side and 05/52 on the other side. What do these numbers mean?

white pill with M in a square on one side, and 30 over a line on the other side, a little blue specks on it also ## sounds like a 30 mg percocet also know as a roxicet. be carful these are strong and if you are not used to taking them it will cause vomiting. highly addictive. if you have never taken break pill into a quarters and only take a quarter of it. ## Actually, this is not Percocet, it is just straight Oxycodone, 30mgs, a generic for Roxicodone. This is a very potent narcotic pain reliever. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. You can read more here: Do you have any other questions? ## yes it is 30mg oxycodone @verwon percoset is oxycodone 5mg with either asprin or acetemetaphen thoes are 30mg oxycodone without being cut with asprin or...

Hi, I am currently prescribed 10/325 oxycodone 4 times a day, I REALLY want to get my PM doctor to switch me to Roxicodone but don't know how to go about asking him without sounding like a druggie, I have tried my husbands Roxi's twice and they help me better and last longer, just not sure how to word the request, last visit the dr offered to switch me to morphine but honestly that scares me to be on morphine ## I'm not surer why the Morphine would scare you, when it's not as strong and dangerous as the Oxycodone you are currently taking. What does is his Roxicodone? It contains the active ingredient Oxycodone, which is the same as the narcotic in your Percocet, but the Percocet also contains Acetaminophen, which helps the Oxycodone to work better. ## Tell your doctor yo...

I am prescribed roxicodone 30mg, 4 a day. I have been suffering from chronic neck and back pain for the past 12 yrs. The pain medication works really well, but I guess my body has got immune to it and they dont seem to last as long. He doesnt want to increase the amount but they do not last the whole month. I have been obtaining a few percocets to get me through. My question is, when they drug test me to make sure I'm taking my meds, will the percocet show up the same as the roxy or should I quit taking it? I cant afford to lose my script but I also need to get out of bed and get things done. Any help would be appreciated, thanx ## Percocet is the same thing as a roxicodone... Roxicodone is just stronger than a Percocet but they are the exact same medication. ## Only take the medica...
