Does Oxycodone Show Up The Same As Percocet On A Urine Drug Test (Top voted first)
Updated
Paige Says:
I am prescribed roxicodone 30mg, 4 a day. I have been suffering from chronic neck and back pain for the past 12 yrs. The pain medication works really well, but I guess my body has got immune to it and they dont seem to last as long. He doesnt want to increase the amount but they do not last the whole month. I have been obtaining a few percocets to get me through. My question is, when they drug test me to make sure I'm taking my meds, will the percocet show up the same as the roxy or should I quit taking it? I cant afford to lose my script but I also need to get out of bed and get things done. Any help would be appreciated, thanx

Oxycodone is oxycodone... Contin simply implies time released. Now MS Contin is Morphine Sulfate that is NOT oxycodone in any form. That will show different on a lab or panel test. Some misinformed people will tell you the hydrochloride (hcl) will show up different from percocets to OxyContin or roxiecodones (contins). This is bullcrap as well all oxycodones (percocets, generic percocets, oxycodone hcl roxicets ect) have hcl . Hcl or hydrochloride is a binding agent. It is found in many substances even toothpaste and diahrea medicine. So to answer ur question yes oxycodone and OxyContin and roxiecodone will all show the same. However this only applies to the old formulation of OxyContin. The new AP ( the crush proof) that has the new gel in it I'm not sure about. That new tamper proof binder might have chemicals that could show up in a lab UA. As others have mentioned most PAin clinics will test the level of medications to make sure a patient is taking the correct amount. This is to ensure a patient isn't diverting ie selling thier meds or taking more than prescribed. On a side note opiate dependence is a rough way to live. Feeling like a zombie only crankier because you didn't have enough pills to gobble up is a terrible life. This is even worse for those people who are not only dependent but addicted as well ,as this type of person usually abuses the amount of meds and must then resort to buying them off the street and then stress about UA, pill counts ect. My advice is to ween yourself down to only the prescribed amount and follow your doctors orders. If you are not receiving enough meds to live near pain free impart that to ur doctor. However a lot of addicts simply use that as an excuse to obtain more pills so they can stay high longer and more often. A good way to insure you never run out is to use what I call the "every other day" approach. Every other day only take half of what you are prescribed. Then you have the option of the next day using a little extra or just using the prescribed amount and having some extra for a rainy day. This method still allows a person to enjoy a buzz without the added stress of cutting every day down to just getting by.

If I am prescribed Percocet and take a few of my girl friends roxy 30 because the Percocet just aren't doing it will they come back different on a 10 panel test for random at work? It was sent to the lab and they contacted me and said it was positive for oxycodone. I told them I had a script and faxed it to them waiting to hear back. Anyway it's been 7 days or so since I taken a perc and I took a roxy the night before the test. Will my Percocet script save my butt?

Percocet is the same thing as a roxicodone... Roxicodone is just stronger than a Percocet but they are the exact same medication.

It will both show up, as Oxy on a Urine screen. I'm prescribed Oxycodone 30mg and also Percocet 10mg, for break through pain and they both show up, as Oxy. In the past I was on Hydrocodone, for breakthrough, which shows up as Hydrocodone, on a Urine Screen.

How can this be true? They are the same thing - oxycodone. When you are given a urine test, the urine is tested for metabolites. Regardless of whether you've taken percocet, roxicet, oxy ir, percodan, etc, the opioid that would show up as in your urine is OXYCODONE. There's literally no way they'd be able to tell the difference. The doesn't even make sense. How can they tell the difference between oxycodone and oxycodone? That's what you're saying. You must've been taking something else, and are just confused. I'm guessing you took vicodin, or lortab, or mscontin, or SOME other opioid without really knowing it, because there's absolutely no way they'd be able to distinguish between percocets and oxycodone IRs.

One hydrochloride and acetametaphine plus two different opiated bases chemical make up like most synthetics even though one may just be a generic form they the opiate base is still different. field panel test probably not but lab test will be able to

This exact same thing happened to me. I take Oxycodone and Oxycontin for severe nerve damage and one of my pee tests a few months back came back as positive for morphine. They asked if I had taken any other medications and I told them I had not and I was concerned about the test. I have been with this Doctor for more than 2 years and this is the first time this had happened. Anyway, their policy is that I needed to take another test right there and then, so I did and the test came back fine. I was still upset about it because that is how I am, but they chalked it up to a false positive.

Alleyoop they will show up the same. Both show as Oxy, in the urine screen. Roxicodone and oxycodone are the same thing, only one is generic. Percocet also shows up as oxy, as it's oxycodone with acetamenophen [tylenol].
Hope this helps

I think this is a GREAT post-- finally here's a post that is not only informative but ACCURATE. I just cringe anymore when I read all these ppl who fancy themselves to be pharmacists or chemists, spouting a bunch of nonsense and spreading a whole lot of misinformation. One thing I do need to comment on is the suggestion on the 'every other day' approach so as to never run out of meds.... regretfully, once ppl become addicted, it is very, very difficult to self-regulate- we tend to lose the ability to say 'no', or to put off till tomorrow what we can take today. And once an addicted person has developed a physical habit, it's even harder to take just half of what you usually take, even for a day- you will risk feeling sick and crappy, and it's difficult to stick to your plan when the antidote is just sitting there in your medicine cabinet. Bottom line is, if it were easy for addicted ppl to self-regulate, I think there would be a whole lot less ppl going to detox- they'd be able to taper successfully at home. Great post, though, thanks for accurate information!
