TL;DR - how do you work around "no narcotics allowed" medical evaluations? Hi, I'm supposed to be going for a battery of check ups next week at the Mayo GI clinic for chronic GI pain (20+ years). However I've just been told I cannot be on any narcotic when they do the diagnostics. I understand why that is but that's not the issue. I asked how other pain patients have worked around this strict limitation and she just kept repeating (like a robot) "you aren't a patient, I'm not allowed to give advice". No matter how I tried to frame the question, she refused to advise. FFS. So, how the hell do I do that? I'm terrified of being off oxy for any period. Also my pain doc, whilst "flexible" and open to suggestion, doesn't inspire confidence w...

I keep searching and STILL don¨t have a straight answer. I am currently on 30mg, 3 times a day of OXYCODONE (legally prescribed) for horrific back pain..... ¿WHAT is the difference between the 2, if any, besides the NAME? oxycodone AND oxycontin........ PLEASE help me out! thanks! thanks!! ## Its the same drug - Oxycodone. One is time released (Oxycontin) and one is immediate release (oxycodone). If they changed your meds from Oxycodone 30mg 3xper day (total of 90mg a day) to Ocycontin it would be probably be 40mg 2x a day with breakthrough meds. ## Pita's comment is basically true. Though OxyContin is technically oxycodone hydrochloride - a slightly different formula, but yes -- essentially the same drug. The major difference is the time-released delivery of OxyContin as ...

I have always gotten pink 10mg k56 pills. I went to Walmart and filled my pills and they gave me white pills imprinted with 10mg RP. Are they the same? ## Yes, they have just been manufactured by different companies, the tablet with K56 on it is manufactured by KVK Tech, and the ones with the RP are manufactured by Rhodes Pharmaceuticals. When a medication is available as a generic, it is usually made by several different companies, and the one your pharmacy carries can vary, depending on who was offering the cheapest price, when they needed to restock their supply. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, constipation, and headache. Is there anything else I can help with? ## The K56 and...

Amneal's oxycodone, generic for percocet 10/325 is white, oblong, blank on one side, and imprinted with IP 204 (not IP 203)! I usually take Watson or Mallinckrodt, 10/325, (2) tablets every 4-6 hours (240 monthly), but I was given Amneal today when filling my script, and I am not happy! I have cancer, and I also take morphine sulphate 30 mgs as well (1 every 12 hours), and Fioricet with Codeine for severe migraines (as needed)! I do not feel Amneal is sufficient or even close to the chemical makeup as Watson or Mallinckrodt for controlling pain/chronic pain! Amneal does not act the same way on my body, and I should not have to take more for same result! I think when you pay cash for your medications, and have been on the medication for 8 years, using the same pharmacy, they should o...

I have just switched from oxycodone to fentanyl patches. I will be withdrawing from them following sugery. any suggestions as to which is easier to withdraw from? Thanks!!! ## Well, the Fentanyl is actually much stronger than the Oxycodone, a 0.025mg dosage of it is equal to 5mgs of Oxycodone, so it is going to be the harder one to withdraw from, if it is stopped abruptly. However, the other fact of relevance is how long you will be using it. If it is only for a short period of time, them the withdrawals may not be too rough, though they may still be annoying. Has your doctor provided you with any advice? ## i have been on fentanyl for a long time. prior to this was on a bunch of oxycodone. to give you an idea i was taking anywhere to 3 or 4 of the 80s per day and 5 or 6 of the Roxi 30s...

Can a urine drug test sent off to a lab tell the difference between oxycodone/apap 7.5-3.25mg (percocet 7.5-3.5) and oxycodone hcl 5mg (Roxicodone 5mg)? I took 3 percocets tonight and i am prescribed the roxi's. I go to my pain doc in 4 days and they occasionally drop me. Can they tell the difference. How long will they be in my system? thanks to all that answer. ## With a urine it will only show what type you took not the amount you got either a 5 panel urine tests for Amphetamines (amphetamine and methamphetamine), Cocaine, Marijuana, Opiates, Phencyclidine aka pcp or the 9 panel the other 4 of the 9 is Barbiturates Benzodiazepines Methadone Propoxyphene. Hope this helps. ## That is correct, the standard test will only show that you took Oxycodone, it cannot distinguish whether it...

Is there such thing as a oxycodone 30mg with no Tylenol, that is white? I've seen blue ones but not a white one. ## Hi Lynn, Just wanted to add that there is in fact a 30mg Oxycodone hydrochloride tablet available without the Tylenol (Acetaminophen). However the one I am seeing is not white, but rather a light blue in color. It has an [M] inside of a box on one side and the number 30 on the back side sitting above a horizontal score line. For further verification, this particular pill is a product of Mallinckrodt, approximately 6.00 mm in size and carries a National Drug Code of 00406-8530. An image can also be viewed within the NDC link. If yours is white I'd probably question its legitimacy and would take it to a local pharmacist just to be on the safe side. ## The blue oxy 30...

Dr put me on 5 mg oxycodone (20 mg a day). 1 capsule every 6 hrs. I've been taking it for 9 weeks due to TKR and the Manipulation of my knee under anesthesia. I have to get off of it but I'm panicking because I think I'm already experiencing withdrawal. The oxy only seems to help for 2 hrs and then I become agitated and anxious. My pain increases. How do I taper and how long will it take? I'm supposed to visit my daughter in 3 weeks and I don't want her to see me like this! ## Any time you ingest something for a long period of time, suddenly stopping it, or lowering your dose may result in withdrawal effects, but as long as the substance was only being taken as prescribed, they are usually mild, and short-lived.

I found a white oval pill marked with 15 on one side and RP with a line between the R and P on the other side. Is it an oxycodone 15 mg?? ## Hello, Sarah! How are you? Yes, this tablet is manufactured by Rhodes Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 15mgs of Oxycodone in a regular release formulation. The FDA classifies this medication as being 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? ## Seems like no one has either heard of this brands oxycodone or that it's mostly sold overseas. Being sold overseas would make GREAT SENSE, as this very large & football shaped pill is rock hard & I must say take it at least 45...

Hello. I take 1 pill every 6 hrs and I am still having a lot of pain in my elbows, in my back and hips. Should my Dr. up my dosage? ## Hello, Sharon! How are you? It is entirely up to your doctor. They could make your dosing more frequent, such as every 4 hours, or they could prescribe a higher dose of the Oxycodone by itself, they may also possibly prescribe an entirely different medication. The FDA classifies this medication as 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. How severe is the pain? Have you informed your doctor, yet? ## The hydrocodone and oxycodone generics (what’s left that they DO make) are pure s***!

Following a night where I consumed approximately five tequila shots, I'm now dealing with a hangover as well as acute pain in my recently operated foot. Is it possible I could manage the discomfort by taking an oxycodone? ## Dear Ms. Mona, I would be extremely careful drinking when on narcotics. The symptoms come on suddenly with almost no warning. Drinking and narcotics at the same time can cause anyone to have severe breathing trouble, so severe it can be deadly. Also, it can make anyone very lethargic and start to put off daily tasks until stopping them completely... These two tragedies I personally experienced. Sincerely, K. See ## I didn't take it. I was too afraid. I'll just wait a couple more days before I decide to take anything for pain. Thank you though. ## However...

I ran across these pain pills due to having severe chronic pain and after reading some of these comments i am shocked. I used to take the Watson brand of percocet and could not find another manufacturer that compared to them until i got the Rhodes brand. I would like to see other pharmacies carry them. I cant believe that im reading that ppl think they arent any good. I have one of the worst spinal problems in the world and stay in pain. Im thankful to have found this brand. ## Renee, It has nothing to do with the active ingredient oxycodone. Each generic drug differs in the binders used.Some folks are unable to tolerate these so the adverse effects stem more from that then the response to the oxycodone component ## To add some more information....

I just refilled my monthly meds for 15 mg oxycodone hcl. Been on this medication since 2002. I'm a kidney patient and cannot take aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, or muscle relaxers due to very low kidney function. This new white oblong tablet is scored on one side with initials R H and other side says "15". These are not working for my pain. Nor do I know if they contain any other ingredient that I'm not supposed to take. Please let me know why these are not working. Taking 2 at a time and still not helping. Thank u. ## Is the marking possibly RP 15? If so, these tablets are manufactured by Rhodes Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 15mgs of Oxycodone in a regular release formulation. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the...

I have heard that oxycodone IR will no longer be on the market in the U.S. - Is this true? Someone said they heard on the news that oxycodone immediate release 30mg tablets will be off the market within 6 months and I'm just wondering if anyone else has been told this as well? ## No, not that I am aware of in anything I've read recently. And I doubt the veracity of this claim from the person that stated it due to one major reason, that being that there is no 30mg Oxycodone IR, so that is not the way it would have been presented on the news. The instant release is only available as a 5mg capsule. Anything stronger than that is either the regular released formulation, or the time released formulation. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and ma...
