My situation: My doctor recently prescribed my 20 mg oxycodone HCL. In the past my prescription was for 10 mg oxycodone acetaminophen. From reading I see the HCL means these new pills have no Tylenol in them? I am to take two of these pills per day- 40 mg as the prescription says.
I also am prescribed 15 mg Adderall which I am to take up to 2 times per day as needed.
Today I took the 20 mg of oxy at about 10 AM. Then broke the second pill in half (doctor and pharmacist both said this is OK) and took half #1 at about 1pm and half #2 at 4 pm. I took the adderall at 8 am and again at 4 pm.
Being NYE- we have a party to go to. I'm wondering if I have a couple of beers if it will be an issue? I'm not a huge drinker- 6 beers even without the oxy would give me a good sized buzz.
Additional information: My pain is enough that 10 mg more (half of the pill) of oxy would make me more comfortable, but if I don't take it I will manage.
Question 1: If I DON'T take another 10 mg of oxy and have 4-5 beers tonight over 4-5 hours am I playing with danger?
Question 2: If I DO take another 10 mg of oxy and have 4-5 beers tonight over 4-5 hours am I playing with danger?
Question 3: What if I take the whole 20 mg and then have the beers?
I would be fine without having any beers, but I don't want to get questions from friends about why I am not drinking. And its NYE and I do like beer.
I have been prescribed oxycodone for almost 3 years for my issue. The most I have ever done in a day is 75 mg. The first time I took the 20 HCL I could def. feel the difference from the 10 APAP. I don't know where that puts me on the tolerance chart but that is where I am.
Any responses or opinions would be appreciated.
