Make Oxycodone More Effective

I take 1 Oxycodone 10mg Immediate release tablet 4 times a day.I noticed that certain generic Oxycodone Brands are not as potent as others.Also,some generic Oxycodone make me nauseous or sick feeling.Which brand of Oxycodone is the most effective with the least amount of known side effects? ## Hello, Lucas! How are you? I'm sorry, but there is no log kept of such information. It really depends on you and which one works best for you. The FDA classifies this as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Does anyone have any recommendations that they can offer? ## All generics are different,,,CAMBER is pure crap in my personal experience. I also feel certain drug cos a...

if, for one moment your belief is that KVK is of poor quality- AVOID 10 MG ZYD Oxycodone AT ALL COSTS. What I have figured out at this point.. is that if you have deep pockets- I mean deep pockets like in Industry (acting/movie) deep(you can afford the real stuff- the good, unadulterated- prooer filler Rx), the s*** we have to put up with is forever changing, getting cheaper and less effective all the time- "to keep the costs down for you, the consumer".. BULL S***! - makes the Pharmacy more $$$$ and because we cannot afford the real thing. The FDA has been cut back so far, not only do they not really care, but they are understaffed and concerning themselves with white paint as an additive in creamer taking precedence over a few dissatisfied junkies (no insult intended)..

I filled my Rx at a different pharmacy to save time and received this version of Percocet a333. It's terrible! The regular ones I receive (by a completely different manufacturer than this or Watson) work pretty well. My issue is just worsening so They just aren't effective. Then when I opened this bottle, noticed the texture was different. It was early morning and dark so I took my normal 1/2 so I can go back to sleep. Felt no relief like I normally feel enough to sleep comfortably. Had to double check to make sure I didn't put Tylenol in one of the bottles for travel. Took the other half. Feels as weak as Tylenol in regards to my level of relief (almost none). Took my next full dose at when enough time had passed. Still, very little relief. This isn't the first time this w

I have been taking Amneil 10-325 oxycodone for 4 yrs and found it very effective and now my pharmacist said he no longer order this and has given me Rhodes replacement which makes me very tired, nauseated and not as strong. I would. like to know if any other stores carry this brand? I saw Amneil has merged with Inpax and will Amneil ever be available again at Rite Aid or any other drug stores? ## In most cases, your pharmacist does not get to pick which manufacturer's product they carry, they usually have a distributor that they deal with, so when they reorder, they are provided with whatever company was offering the cheapest price at that time. Thus, there is no way to know which one any given pharmacy might carry. The only thing you can do it go to them, with your prescription in ...

I thought it was my imagination that something is not right with these pills, but I see that others are experiencing strange issues. What I am experiencing is that they make me feel very relaxed. Almost like having taken a Valium. There is nothing wrong with feeling relaxed, but they are not as effective in pain relief. Having Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, and Fibromyalgia.......I can really tell the difference. Additionally, the color of the pills are not consistent. Some are yellow, some are yellow and white mixed. I feel like they were mad in a basement some where. I have the ability to fill my prescription at another pharmacy. I got these at Walgreen's, and I will go elsewhere for future prescriptions if they continue to carry this odd generic. I've never had this ex...

Are the 325 10 rp better than the a3333? ## I live in south Florida & these are the common 10mg Percocets I've come across. The RP's are not effective at all, and are weak. the A333's are DESCENT for pain relief, and personally are OK. I find the yellow circles with C230 are best besides the pink roxies or endocets. ## Yes the ingredients didn't make me sick, but I got zero relief w a 333, I'd give the rp a 6 /10, the Alvogen are 8/10, ... but I was in s.

1. I now take15 mg morphine sulfate TID which makes me sleepy and does not handle my pain, plus up to 10/325 oxycodone 4xday to handle pain. (orig. on 30 mg morphine sulfate + oxy, and reduced at my request due to sleepiness) 2. 10/325 mg oxycodone taken alone 4xday is effective 80 or so % of the time in treating my pain, and does not cause sleepiness. Why the difference? My pain mgmnt physician wants me to rely more on the morphine sulfate. Thank you so much. ## While they are both narcotics, their base chemical structure is different and may affect any given person differently. I had the same problem with Morphine, I could barely ever stay awake, while taking it, however, Oxycodone makes me a bit drowsy, but works much better for me.

I seem to be having the same issue as some in this forum. I had been on another brand until this refill & well this Rhodes brand doesn't seem as effective. One of the main reasons I'm here, I thought it odd that I wasn't getting the same relief as the other brand. I'm going to contact my pharmacy and see if they can do anything, I may call my PM doctor as well to see if they have any suggestions. ## The last two months have been hard on me since Rite aid switched from really good working oxycodone 10/325 to this RHODES pharmacy GARBAGE and it’s not only that but all my meds aren’t working like they used to. I loved my old ones (oblong) Easily cut/snap in half. With this maker of these meds my eyes burn and water, nose constantly runs and I’m in so m...

what is the difference beween morphine 15mg and oxycodone 10-325mg ## Hello, Brenda! How are you? For pain relieving efficacy, these doses are roughly equivalent. However, Morphine and Oxycodone are two different narcotics. While both have been proven effective, one sometimes works better for some people than another. Being coupled with the Acetaminophen can also make the Oxycodone work better for some people, so they can take a lower dose of it and still achieve adequate pain relief. The FDA classifies both of these medication as being narcotic analgesics. So they carry the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation and dry mouth. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I've been on Oxycodone 10/325 4xdaily for a cou...

I had my knee surgery yesterday and am on hydrocodone 10/325. It manages pain pretty well but it seems to make me itch. I plan to call the Dr, but would like to know an equivalent pain medicine that I may tolerate better for this? Not taking it or not taking it as often results in significant increase in pain. ## Hello, Kalisnick! How are you? Percocet might be an alternative that you can try. It contains Acetaminophen and Oxycodone. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Do you have hives with the itching or are you just feeling itchy? If there are no hives, then it may be just a side effect that will eventually go away, as your...

How much Acetaminophen is in an Oxycodone/Acetaminophen pill? ## Hello, Teri! How are you? What are the markings on the tablet? Most contain 325mgs of Acetaminophen, per tablet, but the only way to be certain is through the markings on the tablets. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. ## I was wondering, would taking oxycodone with 2 extra strength tylenol make the oxycodone even more effective than the 325 mg that is in Vicodin?

I need to know all the manufacturer's and colors and imprints of oxycodone/acetaminophen 10/325, because of problems with all the changes with the compounds that they are changing within these pain pills, as well as manufacturer's changing hands.

I am a chronic pain patient who suffers from many ailments and symptoms. I require a dr. in the Honolulu area who will prescribe 30 mg Oxycodone to manage my pain and allow me to go back to work.

Hi. I was wondering if anyone out there has been able to get Acetaminophen in IV form for everyday aches and pains or to take with oxycodone to make it more effective? Also, what is Toradol? Would it be better to get that? I have gastroparesis, and my stomach can't really metabolize pills. I am trying to get as many of my meds to be either liquid or even better, IV. I have a PICC line in my arm. Thanks so much! ## Almost all medications are available in IV form, since that is the most common way that most hospitals use them in emergencies, the issue is being able to find a doctor who will prescribe them that way, and a pharmacy that carries them. Toradol contains the active ingredient Ketorolac, it is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory that is used to treat pain, fever, and swelling. ...

I have been taking 40mg oxycontin 3x a day. My insurance won't cover it any more. My Doc prescribed ms contin 30mg 2 x a day. will it work? ## Oxycontin contains the active ingredient Oxycodone. It is stronger than the MS Contin which contains the active ingredent Morphine. Both are narcotic pain relievers. That said, your doctor has actually prescribed you a lower dose, to be taken less frequently than what you were taking of the Oxycontin. However, the only way to see if it will help you is for you to try it. Some medications are effective for certain people, some are not. If this dosage does not handle your pain, make sure to contact your doctor right away and let them know. They may need to prescribe one that is slightly higher or to be taken more frequently. You may still exper...

Percocet contains Acetaminophen and Oxycodone, the Acetaminophen augments the action of the narcotic, so it makes it more potent and effective for some people.

Embeda contains Morphine coupled with Naltrexone, to prevent the abuse of opiates, while someone is taking it. Morphine, however, is a very effective analgesic.

Oxycodone might make a small difference, based on the fact that the comparative doses for one drug and another aren't exact, so depending on your source of information, and your doctor's, the equivalent dose of one drug to the other might be effectively slightly higher or lower. The other consideration is that oxycontin is the slow release form of oxycodone, so if you haven't tried the slow release form of morphine, ...
