Hi ryan,

In regards to your question about Dilaudid and Oxycodone, I think the thread linked below has a number of patients with personal experience on both medications, who are willing to share their advice:
/Discuss/Dilaudid-as-a-Oxycodone-replacement-185939.htm

Another thread on a similar topic (comparing oxycodone and dilaudid) can be viewed here:
/Discuss/Is-diloded-stronger-than-oxycontin-Norco-198874.htm

I wish I had a response to your last question, but hopefully someone else on here who lives in that general area can post some details on the random price surges.

Hope this helps!
