Which Is Stronger Hydrocodone 10 325 Or Oxycodone 5 325 (Page 6) (Top voted first)

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?

Take a regular Tylenol with it. They've removed as much Tylenol, I take 10/325 and add a 500 mg Tylenol and I've been happy with the pain killer effects. I promise, it works. But I'm actually on this thread to see what my doctor may do next after hydrocodone 10/325 for about 6 yard now and have been in pain level 8 for a little while. Good luck.

Have you tried stacking 800mgs of Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) with the Hydrocodone?? Try that take 4 OTC Ibuprofen with the Vicodin see how that works for you, the Motrin it's an antiinflammatory medication and the hydro/APAP will provide analgesia. Just don't over do it APAP/Acetaminophen (Tylenol) will shred your liver NEVER take more than 1200 mgs at once and the Ibuprofen will destroy your stomach so never more than 1000mgs at once and only when in real pain and to keep from taking Oxy which is a better medication but it makes some people drowsy you could also try cutting it in half, or tell your Dr. If he can put you on a Fentanyl patch regiment 1every 72hrs for continuous pain relief and Oxy for breakthrough pain. Good Luck!

Doctors get more commission for prescribing Hydrocodene, they seem to be same power to me and I have used them a lot.

They both have the same amount of aspirin. The number "325" represents the amount of aspirin, were as the "5" and "10" represent how much medication (hydro or oxy) is in the pill. So 10 is more medication than 5, and the amount of aspirin never changes. Recently it was discovered that once you reach 325 aspirin, it caps out in your body, meaning even if you took 600 aspirin it would have the same affect as 325. So to prevent unessessary liver damage, drugs no longer have more than 325 aspirin.
