I have been taking Hydrocodone 10/325 for chronic pain, 1 pill every 6 hours. My Dr. just prescribed Oxycodone 5/325 with up to 2 pills every 6 hours. Which is stronger?

The oxy is stronger but who knows your body may b used 2 the vicoden. But if he is allowing u 2 take 2 @ a time it would b better if he would just give u the percocet 10/325 as it would b as effective with 1/2 the amount of aspirin. Try it out n post your feedback.

I have taken the yellow norco (Watson) as well and have felt a dramatic difference switching to the white pills. Meijer pharmacy is the only place I can find that still carry the yellow (watson pill). I have also had back surgeries but just recently switched to taking ms cotin and also percocet for the back through pain.

NO.. you will not beable to stop on your own more than likely taking them that long.. Hopefully if that is goal than yes... but you have to wean yourself down... you wont feel your "real" pain again until about 2weeks afterwards... you will be feeling nothing but your intesfied withdrawls that make your muscles and joints hurt until that time... along with back pain.. even if you have no preexisting back problems

They both have the same amount of Tylenol. 325 is the amount of Tylenol.

Honey explain this to your MD. He is far better qualified to rx 4 YOU. We can tell you about ourselves only. And each individuar is so very dfferent. What causes my pain may be very different from your cause and therefore treated differently. I wear a Duragesic patch for continuous relief and take oxycodone for breakthrough pain. The continuous release pain meds by mouth are very expensive unless you have really great insurance. You may listen to others experience but your decision should always by guided by your MD. I wish you the best.

FYI - THERE IS NO ASPIRIN IN THOSE MEDICATIONS!
Aspirin = blood thinner = bleed risk.
Tylenol = non narc analgesic = liver failure risk. 4g a day is supposed to be the max, now i bet companies are saying 3g a day just to cover their asses... since it has long been known to be hepatotoxic.
The biggest immediate issue with narcotics = slowing of respirations.
Long term you get wonderful effects like constipation and eventually addiction.
You may want to read up on opioid rotation, so that you get an idea of how to manage your pain long term.
Bottom line though I think is that these measures shouldn't be considered the end all of pain care - because eventually they will become ineffective period.
It has long been known that morphine had people "imagining pain" when its really their body telling them it's time for the next narc dose (civil war i believe was when we first got to see this).
All the opiates, even some of the synthetics have some bad things in common; all have abuse potential and all will cause respiratory failure when the body gets too much.

Helen Damnation, the way a generic is absorbed into the body can be different than the brand. A generic may say it has 10 mg of an active ingredient, but it may have 8 mg-12 mg and still be within FDA standards. If a brand says it has 10 mg, it has 10 mgs.
A drs relationship with pharmaceutical companies can influence the way they prescribe. Although Helen Damnation is correct in stating that drs don't receive a commission. They can receive things like dinners, vacations, furniture, ect for prescribing certain meds. These meds are the new drugs and not the generics.

Im on the white norco 10/325 generic by Activis. Doesnt work as well as the yellow by Watson. The FDA only requires that a generic medicine be 80% effective as the name brand.

I take hydro 10/325 made by Mallinkrodt. I think its much more effective than the Watson 10/325. I;m on 4 hydros per day but my arthritic pain has increased substantially. My m.d. doesn't want me to take anymore hydro because of his concerns about tylenol intake so now he's switching me to oxycodone, one every 12 hours. I my body already depends on hydros for pain relief. Would a switch to oxycodone get me deeper into opiate dependence. I guess i should just take my md's advice and move on but I can't help but second guess this strategy. Reaction?

This is just my opinion Lex, withdrawel from Oxycodone is more severe than Hydrocodone. Hydrocodone withdrawel is more mental while Oxycodone is mostly physical. If it truly is too much pain then it probably is best to take his advice. But the tylenol can be a real issue if you are on Hydrocodone for many many years, in my opinion Hydrocodone is safer physically. Again, only my opinion, I've taken Hydrocodone for close to 10 years now.

Keisha first ask your doctor why it could be the hydro because of the Tylenol so ask to stay with the 3 norcos or increase the fentanyl to 25 or see if she or he will give you oxycodone no Tylenol or oxycotin which is time release I take 30 mg oxycotin 2 times a day and 1 20 mg 1 per day and 4 10/325 a day almost zero pain I have 4 ruptured disks ,arthritis in rt knee and stenosis in my neck I live in San Diego and under pain management and she's very strict but at least I've given you some options to talk to your doctor about hope this helps.

My pain management would not change it at all so I am looking for another doctor. He would not ever change the patch from 12mg to 25mg and then he said that he was going to stop giving me any medications eventually

When they changed the yellow hydros to white they definatly changed something more than color. The white ones suck. Nowhere near the same pain relief.

Oxcodone/asap 5/325 or 10/325 does not have aspirin in it,the asap is acetaminophen or Tylenol.
