Just How different is Oxycodone and Hydrocodone

[twinkie13]

Ox is obv stronger than Hydro. But is it really by a ton, as far as kicking?

I have perused thru suggested threads, but I take 3 quarters of a 30mg oxy pill a day(at night) sometimes treat myself to a whole and some drinks. I have kept that in check for a while in those doses, but what used to be 3 times a week is now 5-7, you know the story. I like oxy so I have no plans on kicking but need to reduce the daily thing, as that will improve the potency as to when I do dose I would think. I ingest orally with the occasional toot....is one better than the other as well as far as mode of dosing?

Kind of a few question post, just wanted to see if anyone else is like me out there as far as doseage/days, etc

Any help on the questions is appreciated also, thanks

How long have you been using it?

I don't think kicking oxy or hydro is much of a difference, its just dose dependent. kicking 30 mg a day of hydro is a little easier than 30 mg of oxy, maybe 30 hydro is like like kicking 20 mg of oxy a day.

I always snorted my oxy, rarely ate. But oral is suppose to have a higher bioavailability, nasal BA varies more and its top end is suppose to be around oral's bottom end for BA. I honestly would need to eat 1.5x what I snorted though, and still was not satisfied when eating them at times. It might be mental, or I needed the instant gratification that snorting was able to give.

We all start of this way. But it does lose it’s magic, and it does make you crave.

Eventually you will have to raise your dosage or move on to bigger and better things...

You are in the beginning stages of dependency.

Slowing down won’t improve anything. It will still catch up with you.

You are better off not doing it at all if you don’t want to continue like this.

Nasal oxy is good for onset, but you are killing the amount you are absorbing.

You need to continue oral dosing, much better...

You are using one form of potentation by using alcohol. This will get very dangerous as your doses increase. I advise against this.

Classical antihistamines with sedative action are the mainstays of clinical potentation. The recommended dose on the box is all that is needed. And or more seasoned users maybe twice that...

Sedation and euphoria are enhanced but is not superior to just raising the dosage. It is mostly done in a bind or for histamine release.

Do some soul searching and ask yourself do you really want to get deep into this? You make the ultimate choice.

Remember this: "When using is no longer fun, it is time to stop.” That is for future reference. I can still afford my habit and you seem not to be that deep off in one, we haven’t hit that time yet.

It is the cloud that covers our sorrow.

Get high safely...

Around 2 years. Used to take 20 mills hydro, but with my alcohol consumption(and in general) I didnt like the APAP....once I could get clean 30s oxy I stuck to that

I appreciate your response.

I'm pretty sure there are conversion charts if you look around a bit. But my best guess after years of narcotic use is that the 1.5 Hydro equals 1.0 Oxy, or pretty darn close to that. Check it out. None of the doses you mentioed should be too hard to kick but of course, be careful.

Thanks man

skipped a day and it wasnt brutal but wasnt comfortable either

Yes the potency of hydrocodone to oxycodone is generally considered to be 1.5:1 ,respectively. So 15mg of hydro=10mg of oxy.

When you skip a dose and experience adverse symptoms, you are dependent. Addiction follows but its not too late for you to get away from it with relative ease. Just please understand that the magic is already gone. Tolerance breaks end in failure. And the longer you continue the harder it will be in the end.

IMO, basically nothing. To be honest oxycodone should be grouped with the rest of the C3, C4, and C5 opiates/opioids. For example hydro, Oxy, Dihydro, codeine, tramadol, and tapentadol(which is another C2 which should be a C3). On paper Oxy is a tad bit stronger than hydrocodone but not by much. Oxycodone reputation is a lot more pronounced then its perceived strength. The only way it(Oxy) should be a C2 is single preparations.

I actually prefer hydrocodone over Oxy.

I actually prefer hydo to oxy, the actual chemical, not the pills they come in. As in, if I CWE some hydro, say 50mg, I would prefer it to say a 30mg oxy. They are both powerful though and I couldn't imagine oxy being lowered schedule wise. It's already one of the go to pain meds for docs, usually percocet being the first med a lot of docs prescribe. Honestly, I actually prefer the high from a very large dose of hydro or oxy to a equivalent dose of heroin. Idk why, I just do. I guess it's cause the first time I took any pain meds it was vicodin. Oh man, what I would give to be able to do opiates for the first time again... oh man that was amazing.
