Roxicodon? Little confused

[FastRaceCarGuy]

Just had a quick question I keep reading alot and doing research but too many people keep calling these all different and the same things.. can someone tell me the differences between all these?

Oxycodon - I know about it the 5/10 mg instant release.. W/ apap

Oxycontin - ? extended release how many mg??? APAP?

the big one is,
Roxcodon - ????????????? instant? extended? APAP?

Roxycontin - ????

 

[mrflowers00]

the main active ingredient in all of them (i don't think that roxycontin is a real drug) is oxycodone

Oxycodone- this is the generic name of the drug that is the narcotic pain reliever. It is the drug that all of these medications have in common and the one that makes you feel good and kills the pain.

Oxycontin- this is the extended release version of oxycodone. It is supposed to release its dosage over 8 to 12 hours. So if it is a 40 mg Oxycontin, it should release 40mg slowly over 8 to 12 hours. There is no APAP (tylenol) in this. These come in dosages of 10, 15, 20, 30, 40, 60 and 80mg.

Oxycodone with APAP (tylenol)- these are short acting, immediate release meds that have numerous different brand names including Percocet, Endocet, Roxicet, Tylox, Oxicet etc. These come in different dosages of oxycodone and APAP, such as 2.5/325 (the first number being the oxycodone content the 2nd number being the tylenol content),5/325, 7.5/500 and 10/650 etc.

Oxycodone IR (immediate release). These contain only oxycodone and no APAP. They are immediate release so you get the whole dosage of the drug right then. It also has various brand names such as Roxicodone, Oxy IR. In the US these come in dosages of 5, 10, 15, 20, 30mg. There are also some that come in capsule form and a liquid form but they are not near as common.

I know it can be very confusing for someone not as familiar (or even for some who are more familiar with them. There are also tons of "nicknames" for oxycodone, the most common just being oxy which can refer to anything that has oxycodone in it. When someone talks about "roxis" they generally mean the IR with no APAP. These are most in demand usually because no worries about the tylenol and they are frequently taken by other routes of administration (ROA) than by mouth. Keep in mind though that the bioavailability of oxycodone is better when taken orally than when snorted. It is a total waste of the drug to snort it. I not only have been a nurse for almost 20 years but I also have lots of personal experience with this medication.

When a drug is "made" it has a generic name (in this case oxycodone). This name is standard no matter what. When different companies begin manufacturing and marketing their own version this drug each company gives it a different name. These are the brand names or trade names and that is why there are so many names for the same drug. This applies to all drugs. Another example is ibuprofen. This is the generic name of the meds. Different companies manufacture/market it under their own brand or trade names such as Motrin, Advil, Caldolor, Bugesic etc.

If you are still confused or have any more questions feel free to PM me.

I had no idea that there was a "oxycodon" with no APAP. interesting

so someone was talking about a 30mg pill which was IR and that threw me off because I didn't know they made anything stronger then 10mg percocet etc.. which is IR..


Now how can you identify the 30mg IR pills or the "roxies" vs like the extended release stuff? does anyone know manufacture names? pics? markings? anything?

 

[alovesupreme]

you can hunt around for a few-years-out-of-date PDR (physician's desk reference) at your local used bookstore if you live in an academic town... it's a big blue book about the thickness of a telephone directory from a large city, issued yearly... it has a pill ID section. PDRs more than four or five years old start to get useless because the information becomes out of date, newer medications are missing, etc. but doctors are always chucking out old ones.

or use a fairly comprehensive database of same on the web: http://www.drugs.com/pill_identification.html

They are very little and blue and they are fantastic. lol

I think some have an "a" and 15 on them. don't have any lying around to check.

There are also some 15 mg roxy that are green again no apap.

Missmeyet, I will say that you were very correct for the most part but there are some things i would like to touch on and simplify for FastRaceCarGuy. In short 'Oxycodone' is the chemical in brand name 'Oxycontin' 'Roxicodone' 'Percocet' ; the list goes on. Now for some specifics; There are some brand name as well as generic drugs that contain Oxycodone. Some of these drugs also contain 'Acetaminophen' (also known as APAP.) The only pure forms of IR Oxycodone that I am aware of being acquirable still currently in 2013 is 5mg, 10mg, 15mg, 30mg. <- Those are the PURE Oxycodone with no APAP added in to them. Oxycontin (brand name) is still purely Oxycodone. Recently they have made a revised 'abuse proof' Oxycontin. The pill is almost a rubbery texture if you chew it that is your best bet for the quickest release. If you are an intravenous drug user you will have very little success with the revised Oxycontin. The current and revised imprints on 'brand name Oxycontin' are now "OP" as opposed to the older imprints which were "OC." For the most part Missmeyet; you were very on point and I just purely wanted to touch on a few things. The revised Oxycontin is not truly a 'time release' it is more or less just 'abuse proof.' That is the significant difference i wanted to point out. Yet as Missmeyet also stated, there are 5, 10, 15, and 30mg IR forms of Oxycodone available. They are most referred to (in NY at least) as "Roxy's." The name most likely derived from the brand name 'Roxicodone.' Mostly all good information here; thank you for letting me add in my two cents. I just felt the need to touch on a few things. Best of luck to you, and be safe. ALWAYS do your research if you are going out on a limb with something you are not familiar with.

Thank you both so much now for a better question, I have in the past done about 170 mg oxycodon (thru cold water extraction ofcourse) GRANTED I know I didn't get a full 170mg because of whatever I lost, moral of the story is my tolerance is really high.. how would someone go about taking these if they were to acquire the 30 mg's IR ?

last time taken oxy - 170mg 1 month ago
last time taken 150mg hydro about 2 weeks ago.

^ to sum up how long its been

Also does anyone know more information on manufacture or pics of specifically the 30 mg IR? all I know is that they are blue.. someone mention to me something about a M or a V on it..

 

[tentram]

The best and proficient way is to dose them orally as it (oxycodone) has a very high oral bioavailability (80%+) and effects will last longest.

Next best is rectal administration. May have a slightly higher bioavailability and absorption rate resulting in stronger initial effects, being a little more euphoric as a result. But effects are shorter than oral administration.

 

[thesameoldfears]

You can search google for pictures of ir 30mg oxy. They are made by several places but they're all little round blue pills (at least to my knowledge). The three I'm familiar with are mallinckrodt ("m boxes" with marking M 30), qualitest (v 48 12), and activis (a 215). You can go on pill ID sites and they have pictures of them all.

and all three of those are a 30 MG instant release ?

 

[thesameoldfears]

^ Yup they are.

 

[smokemctoke420]

there is also the big blue ones that say "224". made by caraco pharms i believe. its a big one tho and is a lot of powder, while all the others are like half the size.

 

[NeighborhoodThreat]

We don't allow discussion of pill imprints here. This information is easily available through a simple Google search as has been mentioned or using one of the dozens of pill ID services out there (at least one as already been mentioned). Pill IDs are not allowed.

I'm keeping this thread open because your question is more than just a pill ID but if the flow of conversation continues to go towards "what does a 30mg oxycodone look like?" the thread will be closed.

 

[thesameoldfears]

^ sorry NT! I know we don't do pill id or which generic is better type of stuff but I ended up listing them off when I just intended to basically say "google it".

OP: is your tolerance naturally that high? Like 150mg of oxycodone? And you say you did a cwe but messed it up somehow? Did you do that for the hydrocodone dosage you listed as well? I'd be hesitant to give a recommendation regarding dosages if you don't think you actually got the 170mg of oxy or 150mg of hydro in your system.

 

[NeighborhoodThreat]

^Not a problem. I would have closed the thread if there wasn't another question(s) in the OP.

Bluelight used to allow discussion of pill IDs but since we're a worldwide forum and there exist other sites that are devoted entirely to pill IDs it seemed kind of, well, pointless to allow to here.

 

[opiatekrzy]

yeah roxicodone is just oxycodone in instant release pill form, at higher doses then ur average percocet. Oxycodone IR (aka Roxicodone) can come in doses of 10mg, 15mg ,and 30mg, maybe even more. so a 30mg roxy actually is stronger then an oxycontin 30 lets say for example if there is an oxycontin 30, why? because its already in IR form, unlike oxycontin you have to break the time release, to release all 30mgs like a roxy 30mg. correct me, a roxy 30 is = to an oxycontin 30, just with a roxy 30, u dont have to take ur time breaking the time release like u do with an oxycontin (oxycodone active ingredient, but has a time release mechanism)

I have developed a tolerance that high, started off at 40mg dosage, 70ish.. graduated over time to 100ish, now days 150 mg hydro hardly even touches me. but i have not had anything for a long time now and dont think will be getting anything as a fact of that matter, just trying to educate my self so i can always make the smartest decisions.. (not that i was smart takin 180mg oxy in my past years -_-)

Hmmm...maybe you should read my post. I'm pretty sure I stated all of that information in it regarding brand names, dosages and differences. The only thing I didn't touch on was the difference in the OCs and the OPs and well, I guess I figured that was pretty much a useless point since it would be extremely rare to run across any of the OCs.

I don't mind, and actually welcome anyone to improve on information I post and definetly add to it, just seemed pointless and maybe confusing to the OP for relisting the same info over and over as if it were something different.

If you were to obtain the oxycodone IR 30 mgs I would simply start with 1 30 mg pill and see how you do. You can always increase your dosage if you aren't feeling it after 30 mins to 45 mins but you can't fix it if you take too much to begin with and have unpleasant symptoms or OD. Always start low when you are unsure.

I have taken various forms and dosages of oxy over the past many years. Generally right now my average intake per dose is around 40 to 60 mg (several times a day...and that is not to nod but just to "feel" it). If for some reason I go for even just about a week without oxy (usually for short breaks here and there by switching to my other med) then when I go back to oxy I take a 30mg to begin with and even though my normal dose is higher and it has only been a short break I can stick to a dose of 30mg and do well with it for a bit before I am back to my regular dose. This isn't always effective but I always start of that way to save pills and just to avoid jump starting my dosage right back up there immediately. If it doesn't work then I just take more!
