Percocet Vs Vicodin Which Is Stronger

I have had two tooth extractions. The pain is killing me and I am not able to sleep well because of the pain. Which medication would be better at treating my pain? Vicodin 5/325 or Percocet 2.5/325? ## In this case, the dosage of Vicodin that you have is stronger than the dosage of Percocet, so it may help more. The FDA warns that these medications carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Please be sure to follow your dentist's instructions. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you for reply fast, that what my recent dr prescribe for 10 pills of Vicodin 5/325. My side effect is none. The pain go away while i sleep. I'm glad i choose the Vicodin. I still take every 4 to 6 hours ...

My son is taking Percocet and it is not helping him as I think it should. Is Vicodin a better option for his pain management? I think he needs a stronger med. ## No. Percocet is a schedule 2 narcotic. It is stronger. ## Yeah, if percocet isn't enough, the only thing you can go to is OxyContin, and that's so addictive and so strong... ## Oxycodone (Percocet) is stronger than Hydrocodone (Vicodin). Oxycontin is the same as Percocet but is 12 hour time release, very effective for chronic pain since you are not going through 4 hour pain cycles. Instead Oxycontin is a gradual 12 hour one. ## What dose was your son prescribed? As has already been stated, the Oxycodone in Percocet is stronger than the Hydrocodone in Vicodin, but what works for one person may not work for another, and v...

Is the generic for Percocet 10/325 also called Endocet 10/325? Is it the same strength or is hydrocodone different? I have been on vicodin 11/500 for 9 years so maybe it just has to build up in my system. Just doesn't feel as strong and my pain is high. Thank you. ## I have severe degenerative disk; compression fractures-diffused sever bulge in L4-5 and on and on. Traumatic multiple traumas to many other parts to my body. From pro motorcycle racing for Yamaha international... These bikes reach speeds of well over 200 MPH AND WERE BANNED. PLEASE HELP- I'm almost 53 and in the worst pain of my life with MRIs to prove it. ## I would like to know if the oxycodone 10/10 is stronger than Oxycodone 5/325 ## They dont make 11/325, maybe you mean 10/325 so get it it right next time. ## f...

Been taking 7'5 mg generic vicoden every 4 hours but switch to k9 perc (30 mgs?) How much of the perc do i take for similar relief? Is the k9 time release and does it contain acetamenaphine? Don't want to feel high or weird, just same effect and pain relief Thanks ## Hello, Irish! How are you? The tablet with the K9 marking is not a Percocet or the generic equivalent. Percocet and its generics contain both Acetaminophen and Oxycodone and there are none available that contain 30mgs of either one. The tablet with the K9 marking contain 30mgs of Oxycodone, by itself, in a regular release formulation. It is actually stronger than the Vicodin you were taking. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizzines...
