If I am taking 50mg oxycodone (IR) daily, how much hydro would I need to take to be "equal" and switch without going through withdrawal and be comfortable. I have switched between oxycodone and hydro many times over the past 10 years. Never any problems. The only problem? I forgot what conversion ratio was used.So far I have read 50mg oxy = 75 mg of hydro. So would 7 hydros pills (10mg per pill) totaling 70mg be enough? It's just 5mg short of the conversion. Or would you likely need 8 pills a day of hydro for a total of 80mg Per day?
A couple other websites say that 20mg oxycodone = 30mg hydro.So that's stronger than what some other websites say where 10mg oxycodone = 7.5mg hydro. Do any ideas?
**********(Please read) **********
BIGGEST REASON WHY FOR THE SWITCH: I USED TO TAKE BRAND NAME PERCOSET (OR BRAND NAME YELLOW ENDOCET). THOSE BOTH WORKED PERFECTLY. NOW MY INSURANCE WONT COVER EITHER. So I'm left with generics which all seem much weaker:
--Oxycodone 10mg generic is made by: Activas (a33, the most complaints ever of any pain med. Activas said they where going to make them "abuse resistant".). The other most common 10mg generic oxycodone is: amneal, Rhodes, and Mallinrockt all
Make 10mg generic oxycodone . NONE of them are really any good. Watson doesn't make generic oxy 10mg anymore, which was closest to brand name...
SO WHY HYDO then? Because they have a decent generic. The Watson 10mg hydro generics are good. Oxycodone don't make 10mg Watsons anymore! Only Hydros!! AND... Even better, my insurance covers brand name Vicodin!! Which brand name 10mg vicodin beats some of the 10mg cheap generic oxycodone like Activas a33.....
Lastly: Does anyone here take that many Hydros: 7-10 pills of the 10mg dosage per day?
