Percocet Tyelnol 3
UpdatedHi, I want to wean off Oxycodone 5/325 onto Codeine with Acetominophen 30/300. I take one and a half every four hours or so. Can I start reducing the amount of Oxycodone to one, and then half and in the meantime start taking one one of the Codeine and working up to two as I taper down?

I do think that is a wise approach, however, there is an interaction between Oxycodone and Codeine.
This interaction states the following:
"MONITOR: Central nervous system- and/or respiratory-depressant effects may be additively or synergistically increased in patients taking multiple drugs that cause these effects, especially in elderly or debilitated patients."
"MANAGEMENT: During concomitant use of these drugs, patients should be monitored for potentially excessive or prolonged CNS and respiratory depression."
Personally, I would think that your method of transitioning is better and safer than some other approaches I've heard, but in order to do it to the safest extent you would likely need to be monitored by your doctor during this period of time.
