4mg Dilaudid every 4 hours and have severe breakthrough pain occasionally.
I switched to 4mg Dilaudid after 15mg oxycodone lost its effect.
I have 15 mg oxycodone pills left over from my previous treatment and I’m wondering if I can take an oxycodone in between the Dilaudid for breakthrough pain.
It happens very occasionally. Normally the Dilaudid works fine.
Taking 4mg Dilaudid. Can I use 10 or 15mg for breakthrough pain?

Absolutely not-imo
That's way too much "Tylenol" Especially on your own.
Get your pain management or physician to approve.
I DO feel your pain.
Hang in there. It's all we can do in our painful circumstances.

Dilaudid pills do not come in combination with acetaminophen mixed in. Also acetaminophen is not combined with any 15 mg oxycodone pills, So there is no 'Tylenol' in either of these pills. My query is... What Tylenol are you talking about 'cuz there is none present?

These are some powerful drugs! My advice is DON'T experiment with self medicating on this combination!
