(2) 15mg Oxycodone's Vs. (1) 30mg Oxycodone (Page 3)
(Newest replies first)

Updated

My doctor prescribed me (60) 30mg. Oxycodone's. But my pharmacist gave me (120) 15 mg. pills as a substitute. My question is will (2) 15 mg. pills have the same effect as (1) 30 mg. pill?

@Roxanne, first off, the DEA has no business sticking its nose into our personal thoughts and ideas. if that is the kind of control your seeking, you will find yourselves in the middle of a civil war.

in my thoughts, the 30mg seems to have a longer peak than if i take two of my 15mgs. I dont know why, but i would have to agree with the others that say the same. I have cut one of my 30s in half before and taken it and it seems as if it still has the same peak duration just less pain relief.

and of course, if your not prescribed the 30mgs i would suggest you dont abuse them and vise versa with the 15s. I have seen a few people abuse these medications and almost die. be safe always.

You are talking about a percocet which means ir is buffered with tylenol which means you may destroy your kidneys quite quickly. Tylenol is toxic to kidneys and detracts from the pain relieving aspect of oxycodone.
I broke my spine in 4 places and its disintegrating in addition to having developed a muscular disease PMR which is incredibly painful. Oxycodone is the only pain reliever that doesnt make me feel like a zombie.
I wear a fentanyl patch which helps.I'm 65.
I have a prescription for oxycodone but still cant find it.
I live in Palm Beach County, Florida. Can a Canadian Pharmacy fill a valid USA prescription?

Hey RoXanne -- u and all these other mf... and other organizations, You critisize people that have legitimate problems and legal scripts.. Hey queen b**** -- ask yourself. I you ever got hurt bad (whch i dont wish on anyone if god forbid you did -- I bet a million dollars u would feel very diff about this situation.

I feel the way you do if a person does it illegal without a legitmate injury/diagnosis....

i wish the last guy didnt throw in i bet you voted for obama too, that made them sound really dumb, but roxanne is obviously a person who doesn;t have a clue about the real world and only kows what she reads in reports and statistics distributed by the people trying to stop the distribution of necessary medicine. I have had a lubar spinal fusion in 4 discs in my back and am only 26 years old. I just moved to Florida from california and have had the worst tie trying to get my prescriptions filled for any and all pain pills. so Roxanne should i tell my baby that I cant work because I cant fill my prescriptions because roxanne is just doing her job.

Roxanne,
You should not judge people who take pain meds. You do not obviously understand how dangerous it can be for people who have Legitimate Pain Management Dr. Prescriptions. How would you feel if your mother had knee replacement surgery and is now suffering because she cannot fill her prescription for pain medicine. This attitude and people like you who judge everyone because of the actions of few are quite literally killing people. The stigma is real and the problem needs a real solution. Regulating the crap out of doctors and patients will NOT stop illegal activity! Just costs patients more and Doctors feel harassed.
I bet you voted for Obama too.

You people should be ashamed of yourself taking all this dope which should only be prescribed to people dying of cancer of with other intractable chronic pain syndromes. We are already moving in Florida, other states to follow. So instead of comparing two 15mg pills to one 30mg you people can get jobs and get lives instead of gloating over the fact you got meds you have no business having posission of in the first place.

First off the damn pills havent been around 20 years dude so ur wrong right there! Also 2 15 mg is not the same as 1 30mg with 15 mg ur only getting 15mg inside of that pill and even if u take 2 its the like taking 15mg dosage bc thats whats in the pill the mg is lower all toghter!! there is a difference

From experience, i think that two 15mg are better than one 30mg. BUT only the A214's. The Mblocks and the ETH's suck. Only thing that will help me is the V's and A214's. It just varies.

to have a real comparison, you must break the 15's in half when you swallow them to breaking 1-30mg in half.

Need to know before seeing dr. 10-15-10 about a mistake I think has happened to me. I took 160mg oxycodone a day until 9-9-10 they gave me half of my 60 tablets in OP's which cause a allergic reaction, So my PA changed me to 5mg Opana er but had reaction to those. I also think she gave me the wrong mg to convert too! Came back into office to see Head of PM and he gave me 15mg IR every 6 hours and my body can handle this med. but I think to low again to convert too! He must be going by he 5mg of Opana ER. Does anyone know what MG of Oxy IR I should be taking so I might be able to show him the difference. Don't they have conversion tables they go by or are they that cold and don't care to check correctly. measure twice to cut once should be thier example. thank you for your help

J it makes perfect sense an is true. Only certain generics work for me, mainly actavis an core pharma. I Take mallincroct methadoneno issues. But i also take 15 mgs of roxicodone which is going up to 90 30mgs. 2 15mgs. are not as effective as 130, in my experience.

I TOTALLY agree with J!! It is the same (almost) for me. I have been prescribed these medications for almost two decades now and the 15mg tablets have no where NEAR the effectiveness that the 30mg tablets have. I agree that this makes no sense what-so-ever but there you go... I can take four 15mg tablets and NOT recieve the same relief as taking ONE 30mg tablet. For whatever reason, my metabolism does not react to the 15's as well as it does to the 30's. I have discussed this with my Dr. and he just gives me the hmmm! Good luck and I hope that this helps.

yes,, on paper taking two 15mg roxys should equal 1 30 mg roxy... ON PAPER... BUT BUT BUT,, i know this from my personal experience,, but for some reason the 15's dont help me at all! i mean its not even close to the 30's for some wierd reason. I know it doesnt make sense to me,, but i swear its true in my case.. taking a half of a 30 actually seems to help me more than taking 2 15's.. lol i know on paper that makes NO sense but like i have said,, thats in MY case.. dont know why,, wish i did.. if anyone does know i would love to know why.. thanks
