Oxycontin is a time released formulation of Oxycodone and it will take approximately 15 to 20 minutes, after you take it, to start working. Then it is slowly released for approximately 12 hours.

As to the Vicodin, you shouldn't take more of that than what your doctor, or pharmacist has instructed. It is generally one, every 4 to 6 hours, as needed.

Your dosage is so small it probably will not even be noticed by you. A standard Percocet has 10 mg of Oxycodone instant release in it, they come with as little as 5 mg but 10 mg is the max for Percocet. I don't get why a doc would even bother with a 10mg time release even to get someone used to it. That is giving 20 mg in a 24 hours period. Read the PDR for how much they say the dosages should be. This guy missed. If you make that drug a time release to spread over 10-12 hours it will be completely useless. It will probably just constipate you because that takes a tiny dose and by giving it to you in a time release format this brilliant physician will merely torture you. Something tells me he/she/it is very young and has no clue what the various doses of oxycodone do. He should leave to the men/women, etc. to dole out.

My experience is that after 1 hour, the beginning effects are noticed.

Yeah you won't get immediately relief and in my opinion much at all from only 10mg of oxycontin. Make surr you are taking oxycontin and not oxycodone hcl ir. 10mg oxycodone hcl should take 15-20mins to start working. The vicodin you were taking was Ir too which is why it kicks in pretty fast. In my opinion you probably won't get great if any relief from 10mg oc depending on your condition every 12hrs. I didn't think they made oc in anything less than 20mg. Plus oc has the worst withdrawl of any narcotic I have ever taken, inluding fentanyl. It is also pretty strange for a doctor to prescribe oxycontin with out trying morphine sulfate or even 12mcg fentanyl patches. Good like with your pain. I have a spinal fusion in my lower back so with out meds I am always in pain. I have found that I require a er(extended release) in my case morphine sulfate a few times a day nd then an ir(instant release) for me oxycodone with or with out acetminophin for breakthrough pain.
