Watson 749 Hydrocodone 7.5 Or 10 Mg

I have a damaged SI joint in my back from a car accident 12 years ago and also have fibromyalgia. I've recently noticed something and I'm hoping someone can help me figure this out. I've taken hydrocodone mainly for pain, usually 7.5 mg, but sometimes 10 mg. They make the pain tolerable but never seem to last long. I recently tried Watson 749, which I'd never heard of before, but they are percocet 5 mg. Both these and the hydrocodones I've taken had 325 mg acetaminophen in them. These 749 are awesome! They work faster, better and last longer! I understand that percocet is a stronger med than hydrocodone but a ten mg hydrocodone should be stronger than the 749, so why does this 749 work so much better? Everyone's body & pain tolerance is different so is that maybe what's going on or is there something special about the Watson 749? Any info anyone has would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks so much!

Hello, Crystal! How are you?

Certain medications affect people differently than others, that's just the way our bodies work.

5mgs of Oxycodone is equivalent to 7.5mgs of Hydrocodone.

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.

Is there anything else I can help with?
