Switched From Oxycodone 10mg Pink K56 Pills To Norco (Page 3)

Does norco 5/325 have the same ingredients as the little pink pill k56 which is oxycodone 10mg? My doctor switched me due to the strength. The k56 pills are stronger he said and i needed a weaker pill to be able to work. So he prescribed me the norco. What i'm saying here is that are they the same, but different doses?

Joey sorry I am ready to crack the system has really harmed me and normally pro se I win (and did) but when you are fighting two systems one federal and one state (WC) as you know it is a nightmare.

Joey remember when I mentioned the BL troll changing persona?

I think your newest muse for a kinder word is tailing you and now calling themselves a pharmacy tech.

You are entirely correct I am wondering worse yet if it is someone with a morbid curiosity of opioids (hence abuser) who flips names, and condescends as he/she has to real people seeking immediate help.

As you not this party picks as if they have OCD at every letter, word, and frankly attempts to now condescend to you a physician, myself a published researcher and also professional nurse.

I'm usually pretty tolerant, but I had two bad days in a row and I posted my (almost) whole pedigree, emphasis on Columbia University and Yale University. There i either OCD going on or a tremendous compulsion to be totally correct. There's a difference between leaving out a comma and mistaking Valium for Vibramycin on a script. I strive for accuracy, but I'm only human, as are we all. {PS: I went to the contact page and sent a brief message with my permission and my actual email address. Haven't heard anything. I'll look around again.]

I was a 4.0 student in the Honors Program in English and American Literature and The Pedagogy of Composition (BA/MA) a Brown University. I DON"T NEED NO F-ing muse! I express myself just fine on my own. If I need something explained to me, I'LL ask (and that goes for classes where I'M THE PROF, TOO!)

Joey well (applause) since I now admit to being female back in the day I was on the waiting list at Yale (first women admitted) and accepted to Union (all male) in upstate NY. I got a good scholarship to Smith (no further need to talk on that one) well back to my morning issues and paperwork and legal renderings.

Interesting since my injury was accepted to medical and law school but became too ill to even consider.

Yes we now have contact information thanks for listening if anything.

Norco is the same as Vicodin just different strengths. Oxycodone is generic Percocet. Norco is not as strong as oxycodone.

It is good to know the forum does not back the credentials of the people posting. For what ever reason some people feel it adds substance to their post to boast of their education and position.
It has not added anything to the answer people have requested.
Hope it has added to the self esteem of the poster.

Very glad for that. I even located original copies of all my creds. I was going to pack it in after that horrific Parking Lot Accident and the iatrogenic follow-up,courtesy of Ketamine. Had everything boxed up and stored with other personal effects of all of us after my Mom's recent death.

@Donna - PERCOCET is OXYCODONE 5/7.5/10 + APAP 300 or 600. As I always tell my residents, "Don't speak unless you're damned sure of your facts." Of course, you didn't even consult any reference material. I just KNEW this, having seen it over the years. That's the difference between an MD/RN/NP/APN and a layperson.

I read this entire thread, I agree with everything you've said Dr. Joey.. Also, people claim to "know" everything about medications because they have.. at one point or another..abused them.
Some days I take more than I should, I'm prescribed 3 ten mg oxycodones a day for a month. Some mornings I wake up and I physically can't move ..also i cant move fast enough to get out of bed to use the bathroom. I have severe nerve damage in my lower back down into my right leg and foot. I had surgery "micro diskectomy" (spelled wrong I'm sure lol) early this year and I'm left with such bad nerve damage and even more pain than before. My surgeon said I had stenosis wrapped in never ending spirals around my nerves and bone fragments splattered all over the place.. A surgery that was supposed to take 1.5hrs ended up taking close to 4 hrs because of all the damage I had. Now my left side literally is killing me daily, my hips feel like they are exploding constantly and I still can't let out a good full cough, and God forbid I gag while brushing my teeth, my nerves all compress and I practically fall down. Rewind to before surgery...my regular doctor gave me vicodin and it didnt even touch the pain, he then gave me oxycodone 5mg ..helped a little.. then after surgery, the surgeon prescribed me .5mg percocet /aspirin. Now my regular doctor has been giving me the 10mg oxycodones, he knows how bad I am. So I am grateful for that. Vicodin does nothing for me at all so I'm glad he listened to me on that. Anyways, after surgery..I felt great for a week and a half ..for the first time since I was 23! Now I feel like my body is too old for my 35 years. I feel awful, it's terribly depressing. I'm still young, I weigh around 115, I'm otherwise healthy..I just don't know how I'm supposed to "ask" for either more 10mg oxys a month, or see about him upping the dosage to 15mg. I dont know the "drug dosage laws" in Pennsylvania so I don't even know if he can give me more. So then there is this depressed, I hate everything feeling so do I ask for valium or something?! I'm crazy confused because I don't want to look like I'm "drug seeking" ..When I guess in actuality, I am. Since all the junkies have abused all these drugs, there's people like me, in need of care, and just petrified to ask about it out of fear of being labeled a junkie. Sorry to ramble on, and hijack this post lol...a few of you actually sound like you know what you're talking about though, so I figured I'd get some advice :)

Valium and other benzes actually can exacerbate depressive moods, but the combination might help your pain relief, Usually, Pain Management specialists" and Anesthesiologists (depends on the year licensed; some don't need to be "taught"? how to medicate pain) have a wider berth in terms of prescribing. One jerk of a cardiologist thought I was "drug-seeking: when I asked him for a new script for Fiorinal w/Cod #3 for migraines. I'm good-natured, but I exploded like a H0Bobmb that day.I told him I could order 1K of those pills and get them tomorrow and C-IIs are easy to hide in the bookkeeping. I know how you feel. Just be honest (a good doc can tell) explain your hx, your current symptoms and current needs, You might benefit from a benzodiazepine and Valium is the best muscle relaxant, except that non one can find a generic that works even closely as well as the real thing. GOLOD LUCK, honey and you can always "shout out to me me" here. Psychiatry encompasses more than purely emotional pain.

WOW!!! I agree!! They must have taken too much Oxy or got confused trying to understand their own conversion as much as we did... LOL

You can start by asking your doc to explain the laws and limits. Tell him the current combination isn't quite doing the trick and see how he responds. The most likely response would be to raise your daily Percocet dosage — also, make it clear that you don't want stronger pain meds (e.g., Dilaudid, Demerol, etc.) just enough of "the usual to work. Hope this helps! Good luck!

No you could work better with the stronger pill....its a lot like gasoline .....the stronger pill will be longer better enhanced pain and nuralgia control....just use caution TILL you become familiar with the pills effects... The oxycodone pill is about equal to three or four norco 5/325/s
