You can always talk to your doctor about prescribing generic Oxycodone as apposed to Percocet (Acetaminophen + Oxycodone).

Aside from that option, generic Hydrocodone is a common substitute for Oxycodone. There is a decrease in potency however, so if you are on a high dose of Oxycodone you may want to taper that dose down a little and start with a slightly higher dose of Hydrocodone.

More details about Hydrocodone and Oxycodone can be found by clicking on the links below:

Hello,
I have been prescribed oxycodone 30mg tablets for my chronic low back pain due to a condition and I also suffer from arthritis but lately I'm having a problem getting it filled. My pharmacy is telling me that they can't get it in. I am a 54 year old and need my pain medication. I'm thinking of asking my doctor to substitute it for some other pain medication and what to know what pain medication would be the closest in strength and is also a IR form. Please help me if you know what would be the best.

Hello friend I too am having the same problem here in Alabama. Yesterday I asked my Dr. To switch me to something else. He prescribed norco 7.5mg and tramadol 60mg. I was previously on percocet 10/325mg.

I am in the exact same boat as many of you and while it's encouraging to see others with these dilemnas I'm wondering if any of you found good substitutes which gave you the relief you needed ( for me the quick release allows me to go about my daily yard work and physical work in general while the slow release keeps me from hurting myself and becoming extremely sore in the long run. I've had both hips replaced, my right shoulder reconstructed and then given a "Tommy Johns" the second time around both knees and elbows have been scoped TWICE EACH and I've felt better after every procedure but the cumulative effects have left me with a bit of a limp, about a 40 MPH fast ball with direct ice pack afterwards and now it's my ankles which have to be warmed up and good luck letting the puppies know I can't stretch the way they can in order to start my day and now sleeping with my elbows tucked under the pillow leaves me stuck in that position until I can painfully get them to move again~! This isn't easy but the med regimen I'm on seems to all work well together but now I can't get the Oxy 30 mg fast acting due to limits on the drug store which is one of the few who can even get the medication and now even THEY are being limited since they are one of the few to still receive it at all. The quandary could be solved with a new med but what works and doesn't have a boatload of aceteminephen in it? Keep posting answers and, together we may all learn what's best for us all. Thanks and Good Luck to all who need this medication.
