I would say depends on dosage and length of time on them.
My doctor because of back pain kept re-filling 50, 750mg vicodins
when ever I called the pharmacy.Tolerance began and I was taking
several a day for months. When I stopped, I had the worse diarrhea for days and nights and the anal tissue became inflamed developing
into mild hemorrhoids.These withdrawal symptoms are not something I would wish on anyone. I am done with those.If need for severe pain and prescribed,a dentist for instance would prescribe 30 tabs,be sure to ask for no re-fills. They also affected me socially changing my personality into someone that
was not the real me. I quit cold turkey, so I don't know if tapering off would have avoided the w/d symptoms.

I have legit problems. Behcet's Syndrome and Fibromyalgia and I can provide Real Records even, that reflect my health problems. I am however treated by the Veterans Administration.

I am tired of taking Codeine Sulfate, Piroxicam, Gabapentin, and Diazepam. Yes I take that many for pain alone. The VA supplies me with over 37 Medicines/OTC/Vitamins. Oops and from a private pain Dr. who does my Epi Blocks and provides me with scripts for Marinol. Though he won't touch a script for Oxycodone/Oxycontin, he believes their to addictive. But hello my PAIN IS NOT ADDICTIVE and I really want get it under control with less meds.

My Doctor told me the VA doesn't deal with OxyContin 80Cr.

I definitely want to CUT OUT some of my other pain meds and get down to 1 or 2 for pain.

theres a difference between percoset and oxycodone, trust me. my doc says to stay under the obama radar he can only prescribe 120 mgs a day and they don't look into it. Im 32 and get a monthly script.

Captain, I notice you have not posted in a long while. I hope that means that you have found a treatment plan and I hope that plan is working and will be successful.

While others are correct that you created the addiction monster yourself, it does not make it any easier to quit. Once the addiction is there, the question of who is to blame is irrelevant.

My mother was prescribed oxy when she was terminally ill with cancer. The doctor knew she will terminal and also knew that she would die an addict. So for 6 weeks she had oxy basically whenever she wanted. She died an addict, but her pain was minimal. I praise the doctor for his decision. My mother's situation was exactly right for an oxy prescription. And even though she quickly became an addict, it did not matter.

I have never been prescribed the drug and based on all I have read here, I would be afraid to take it.

While I don't want to be accused of suggesting one drug for another, I suggest you might want to research Kratom. It is legal and it truly helps with pain and W/D at least for me and for many others. There are many sites for Kratom and many good discussions here on DB.

Please let us know how you are doing. I hope you are on the road to recovery and stability.

Best to you.

I have a question regarding oxycodone. Would 1 pill of 7.5/750 Endocet be the same strength as 1 pill of 10/325 watson? I know the oxycodone of the endocet is stronger than hydrocodone, but is it as strong as a 10/325 pill of hydrocodone? I am just talking about the narcotic so you can disregard the level of acetaminophen. Basically is 7.5mg of oxycodone equal to 10mg of hydrocodone?
