my Dr has changed my medication fron norco to percocet, and now my feet and ankles are swelling severely. What is the difference between hydrocodone and oxycodone?
One is water-soluble & One is that soluble another word Percocet is more potent&Last longer

Well, while "you're" being a grammar cop; you stated " for the brain your borrowing". Um, it's you're as in "you are". ;)
As far as the difference between hydrocodone and oxycodone, they come from different parts of the poppy. Oxycodone comes from "thebaine" which is similar to both morphine and codeine (i.e. hydrocodone), but has stimulatory rather than depressant effects.

Re: Roro (# 18)
How about you learn what you're talking about. First it is oxycodone not oxicodone and it's oxycontin not oxiicottin. I'm not sure where your brain went but you need to get a refund ticket for the brain your borrowing... I wish people would understand the right terms.
To make swelling in the legs/ankles go down, elevate your feet above your heart. This can be accomplished by lying down and propping up your legs using a pillow or 2.
Good luck with that oxicodone without added otc ingridiant is oxxicoton and considered very addictive and much more dangerous
Get water pill at Walgreens but drink water it will make her urinate all water retained
Oxycodone works much better than hydrocodone but the withdrawal is worse
Could be the tylenol, I experienced the same with my feet .sat in reclinerand propped up my feet on pillows .
Being a Chronic back pain sufferer I do know the difference in these medications. Since most Rx companies pay for Generic drugs we do not see the name Vicodin or Lortab often but we do see Hydrocodone and Oxycodone often because they are generic names. The other key is whether or not the Narcotic is mixed with Tylenol or Aspirin or Motrin or by itself with out.
Even after using tramadol for prescription pain relief...only 10 mg 2x daily...I had a grand mal seizure and stroke linked back to it. No family history. Severe osteoarthritis so switched to norco drug family immediately. Dr prescribing and pharmacist filling were well educated.
Not taking hydrocodone any more I had found same symptoms as you did with the swelling of toes feet ankles
I am now on Tramodol ? Which is lower
Dosage from Hydrocodone and swelling seems to have gone in my toes and feet. Like you I couldn't put
My shoes on. I am using Arnica
Gel which is good for swelling. It helps
To bring it down it's a natural gel
Sunflower seed oil in it.
My mom has being on oxycodone and she has swollen ankles how can she make the swelling go down
Ask for the oxycodone without Tylenol and hopefully your swelling symptoms go away, either way tell your doctor what's going on asap.. Good Luck
Yes, they can tell the difference. Just be honest with your Dr.. Trust level between your Dr., and yourself is very important. Good luck.
They most certainly CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE in testing.
I'm prescribed hydrocodon and missed dr. app. was out of meds and took a few percocts same miligrams can they tell the differance in a blood test between the two
Does acetylcystiene counteract opiods as well as apap
PERCOCET IS FROM MY KNOWLEDGE OXYCODONE MIXED WITH A DRUG LIKE ASPRIN,TYLENOL ETC. HYDROCODONE IS A SIMILIAR OPIATE MIXED WITH TYLENOL. PERCOCET IS DOSE I,E 10 MG PERCOCET IS STRONGER THAN A 10 MG HYDROCODONE AND PERCOCET IS I AM TOLD MORE PRONE TO ADDICTION BECAUSE IT IS IMMEDIATE RELEASE OXYNCONTIN WHICH IS SO POPULAR IN THE PAIN PILL WORLD. SOMETIMES PRESCRIBED IN HIGH DOSES LIKE 80 MG AND TOLD TO TAKE WHOLE DO NOT CRUSH CHEW ETC BECAUSE YOU GET A VERY HIGH DOSE OF THE MEDICATION RELEASED IMMEDIATELY, COULD BE FATAL.
