It does vary a little based on your tolerance. Generally hydrocodone the active narcotic ingredient in vicoden 7.5mg is .6 to .7 the strength of oxycodone. However Vicoden also contains APAP or acetaminophen which when used with the hydrocodone will attack the pain through a different mechanism of action. The other issue is that the 7.5mg vicoden is extended release and will need to be broken down in order to be more equivalent of the instant release you get on a 15 mg Oxycodone. To answer your question it will take 3 to 4 (depending on your tolerance with opiates to equal a 15 mg oxycodone and you will have to put them in a folded up piece of paper, crumble them, and then put them in a small glass of water. (If you are trying to feel high the oxy is much better, but if you are like me and trying to fight pain, then stick to the vicoden's. The APAP should keep you from going over 3500 mg of APAP in a 24 hour period. If you need more than 50mg of hydrocodone in a 24 hour period you should ask your doctor about zohydro or a 30mg extended release tablet.
