I'm outta my norm pain meds. I had my last 22 pills stolen from me. I take 30mg oxycodone 4x a day. I may have a few 10mg OxyContin till I make it to doc. My question is how does 10mg OxyContin compare to 30mg oxycodone?

The only true differences are as follows; oxycodone is immediate release oxycontin; is a long acting version of the same exact drug. Sometimes you get it w Tylenol ie: percocets or stand alone ie: oxycodone. Dosing is a little different between all versions but it is very basically:::: the same exact drug. Hope this helps.

Myla, idk if you take the meds the way the doc tells you, but you should be fine if you think it is to strong cut it in half and go that way. I've had major surgery on my back and got one metal plate and need another. I'm on 2 40mg Oxycontin one every 12 hours and then I have 30 mg oxycodone for break through pain 1 at 3 times a day but if I don't just got to take all three everyday I don't it depends on a lot of things ! I'm 49 years old and worked all my life in construction and had a couple of bad wreaks I was involved in and I've got a lot going on besides my back. I'm trying to get ready for a liver transplant also, but when people heard what meds I was on they begged me for them and I said I'm sorry but I don't give meds out, then they tried buying them and I said that's crazy I got to have them. So it came down to them stealing them from me anyways. now I tell them my doctor took me off them and we keep them in a lock box, but anytime you think the dosage is to strong cut them in half and go from there. it's better safe then sorry!

Sorry to contradict you but neither oxycodone nor oxycontin have acetaminophen or ibuprofen in them. Google it if you have any doubt in what I am explaining. These two are as close to opiates in the purist form in a pill form, there are others that are as pure and also have no acetaminophen/ibuprofen.
My question is more about the pills that are being bootlegged as oxys. I even saw a machine online that stamps them and the die that stains them green. Not time release these are like the original oxys before they did that. How much opiates do they know how to put in them? I heard some have made them too strong and have caused many deaths. Scary. Just get them from your doc to be safest.

Im a veteran and see the VA regularly. In CA there was no max, at least for VA. I get 250 oxycodone a month and 60 oxycodone Cr. I now live in the Philippines. Pain meds are really hard to get here. The doctor needs a S-2 licence along with his medical degree. This equals to about 3 to 5% of all available doctors who can sign. It socks for your average Joe, but thank God for my VA as I receive all my medications and for free!

So "Cherrie" doesn't like Oxycontin. For me, they have been a lifesaver (literally) for 15 years. I went from spending my days huddled under heating pads in a recliner to living a life that is much closer to "normal", without the constant agony and thoughts of suicide. Everyone responds differently, it's true, but try things for yourself. Don't assume that what the pain reliever that was "bad" for one person won't end up being the medication that saves your life.

Hey Jill?? I just came across your message and I am here in Houston myself...
I know you wrote this way back in 2011 but, I was wondering if you had any luck finding any help. Things here in Houston have gotten very difficult nowadays. I'm only 32 years old. I had shingles twice before I was 30 and now suffer from severe rheumatoid arthritis with fibromyalgia. For me being my age these doctors are so damn judgmental it's sick. I had an amazing doctor I'm up here on the northwest side near 1960 and 2920. During his lunch break before he left the practice instead of taking lunch my doctor would go to the veterans hospital and help in the burn unit ... I felt so blessed to have him as a doctor because, when I found out he was leaving to be full time at the VA and he had treated me with so much respect and never look down upon me. I knew that he was a doctor for the true legitimate reason of being someone who wants to help others.. I thought it was the most admirable thing that he could have done, but the practice he worked for completely cut off all of his pain patients and didn't even refer them out....
This happened to happen during the holidays too... so not only having to find a new PCP but, they want to send you to every specialist on the planet. I've went to two pain doctors in the last 3 months one of them being today. I was so insulted because, I'm a very straight-laced woman and I felt completely profiled and judged. Have you had that problem here too? Anyhow, I have been on 30 milligrams oxycodone instant release and 10 325 hydrocodone 4 in between times. Trust me I went from the fentanyl patch, morphine.. yes I felt like a lab rat LOL. Finally, my doctor had went out on a limb and tried a new regimen for me, a 3 years later it's been working wonders. I'm a single girl who was making six figures a year working in oil and gas as the underwriting accountant to having to go on disability full-time. So things are used to take for granted even the smallest things I'm so thankful for now.
I literally took the prescriptions he had written me for only 2 weeks and gave them back I was so insulted.
From one woman to another I understand your frustration and totally understood where you were coming from. If you have any suggestions sweetheart, toss them my way, please and thank you. I'm just a person that would like to go to my God son's soccer game once in awhile my goodness. Why do I have to look like the worst person in the world every time I go see a doctor it's disgusting. On top of all of that, I have no other family besides a dad.. all we have is each other...God Bless My Poor Dad he stays with me and he's suffering from degenerate disc disease and also prostate cancer and they're not even helping him for god sakes...
I do have a good handful of doctors I know that are very knowledgeable and understanding problem is they do not take my insurance :-(...
So I just wanted to reach out to you and see if you need any help still or if you can point me in the right direction LOL. Take care Miss Jillian.. hope you're having a good day.

Percocet is quick acting. Oxy ER releases over time(12hr). The percs will last you anywhere from 3-4 hours while the ER is 12. You will have to take more percs cause they wear off. The ER is 2x a day only. Percs have Tylenol(acetaminophen) and the ER is oxy only. Hope this helps you

Servicedog trainer Says:
Your are misinformed. Oxycodone and Oxycontin do not contain any tylenol. It's on the bottle under 'dosage' you would see the strength listed, something like this 30/375. 30 being the oxy and 375 being the tylenol. Percocet, vicodin, norco, and hydrocodone are all labeled like this because they contain both substances. Oxycodone and oxycontin are only labeled as 5, 10, 30, 90..? etc without a "/mg" of tylenol at the end. This is how you know there is no tylenol. I cant take tylenol so they put me on straight oxy instead of something like percocet or hydrocodone or norco. I hope this helps clear things up.
