Is Oxycodone 10 mg hci comparable to Norco 10/3.25 mg?

Hello Carley, Yes I was also on Fentanyl and that doesn't work either, The time release meds just don't work for some reason,

Oxycodone does not have tylenol in it, but occasionaly I take a 325mg tylenol to help it along because it does make it work a bit better. Guess that's why they put it in all the rest of them. My doc says that's ok as long as it's just once or twice a day. No matter what you try if you are on it long term, you will build a tolerance to the dose, & have to have it increased is why people are suggesting a long acting med such as fentanyl patch or oxycontin which is oxycodone only long acting. Might be worth a try... Mary

Thank you Mary. I just found my old bottle of Oxycodone and it does have Tylenol, so it must be the Oxycodone HCI that doesn't have the Tylenol. I surely have built up tolrnc, cause I have taken Oxycontin as well. Mary do u know of any good pain meds that have aspirin rather than Tylenol in them. Tylenol scares me.

They do make oxycodone with aspirin, but most doctors don't prescribe it., & straight oxycodone doesn't have tylenol in it unless the label specifies it does. I am going to give you a link to read about oxycodone with aspirin below... Mary

Mary thank you for the link.. very informative and I see why doctors usually dnt give it. Now that I know oxycodone can also be without tylenol, I will ask my doctor for that. Hmm wonder why the docs dnt offer that to begin with.. oh well thank you again for the info ... pamee

Hello, it's such a quandry sometimes--you need more pain relief and have had enough tylenol or the other way around. I'm now on Oxycodone 10 mg but find that I can take bit of that with 1 Norco which contains 3.25 aceminophen and 10 of Hydrocodone. Pharmacist told me Oxy works well with tylenol--lasts longer. Good luck!

Pamee, you could try oxycontin which is a long acting oxycodone with no tylenol in it. It might help you greatly... Mary

Thank you Mary! I am getting so frustrated about all these pain meds. I use to take oxycontin and it seems the time release meds just don't work for my nerve pain. I apologize for not listing all the meds I have taken, I have taken different kinds of morphine, fent patch, oxycodone with tylenol, methadone, savella, lyrica, neurontin, antidepressants, norco 10's and I am now on opana er. The breakthrough meds take a slight edge off, but only last about an hour. I do appreciate your help though. Thank you again! ... pamee
