Oxy"contin".....the "contin" is short for *contin*uous because they are TIMED RELEASE pills. This is the ONLY difference betwween oxycontin and oxycodone. Oxycontin IS oxycodone..it's just delivered differently to your bloodstram because it's slow release.

both are fuckin wicked. they are your friend and your enemy at the same time and they will turn on you very quickly and put yer nuts in the adiction vice before you know it...

I spent 3 years on em..got addicted..then got dropped like a hot potato by my doc and went into fuckin withdrawal for 3 days after I told him I was using medical marijuana...

stick with the weed, kids. I swear..I've done all the drugs out there over the last 35+ years and this one...well..it was BIGGER than I was and just ate my ass alive...

it's NO FUN chasing that pill bottle around and bein a slave. Yer playin with fire with these things...

oxycontin is alot more powerful trust me all you have to do is take a paper towel and run cold water on a corner then take the pill and roll it on the wet corner intill the time relase comes off.

but for the difference here you go
The drugs themselves are the same. The preparations are different. Oxycontin contains more oxycodone than percocet, but it is also prepared as a "sustained release", or "time release". This means they can give a large dose, which will slowly be released over a period of time to maintain a steady concentration in the body. Recreational users crush the Oxycontin pills, releasing the oxycodone from its microencapsulation, and getting a high dosage of powder (which contains binders and fillers making it inappropriate for injection and increasing the damage done by snorting).

There are plans in the works to create a new preparation of Oxycontin which would also contain microencapsulated naloxone (an opiate antagonist which blocks the effects of opiates). With this product, if the pill is taken orally, the naloxone would be released and the opiate would have its desired effects. But if the pill is crushed then the naloxone would also be released along with the oxycodone and the opiate would no longer be effective. The manufacturer is working to develop this (or a similar) product but it now looks that it will be several years before such a product hits the market.

One of the most important things to note about the current Oxycontin products is that for inexperienced uses, a single crushed pill could result in a fatal overdose because the oxycodone is released quickly into the system instead of the intended sustained release. Once the body has become habituated to the opiates (in the short term), users can tolerate much higher doses safely, but this is one of the more common ways people get into trouble with opiates and what causes many deaths with other opiates (heroin, etc).

Also someone said hydrocodone is vicodin and it isnt. Actual vicodin isnt manufactured anymore. Hydrocodone is the less potent generic form.

Oxycontin take it for three weeks then stop.take oxycodone for three weeks then stop.the differance is night and day.you tell me which makes you sick and crave.oxycontins are more like morhine while a hundred mg oxycodine is equivilant to about three and a half t3,s.i dont remember it all but i have had them both for extended periods and i will tell oxycontins i would never touch again.oxycodones no problem except the dame to the liver.but it is still not as rough on the guts as t3's.

ok, i have to pill bottles here in fromt of me

one says "OXYCOD/APAP 5/325 mg sub for percocet
the other says
APAP/Codeine 300/30
sub for tylenol W/codeine.

whats the difference, and how do they relate to oxycontin.

also, what is T3's?

t3's are tylenol 3,but i dont know how to explain to you the differance between the two.just that oxy contins generally have a greater amount of oxycodone in it but in slow release.that is why people chew and crank oxycontins.i believe that oxycondone is a more refined stage of the opiate then codeine.but hey i have not the education to explain it,so i suggest you research it,i think one of the above posts said it right.

1 big difference is you can fire up oxy's unlike the others.

I'm not a pharmacist..but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night...

APAP/Codeine 300/30 This is a generic for McNeil "Tylenol 3" It's 300 mg of tylenol and 30 mg of CODEINE Phosphate. One of these pills has about the same effect as one of the Percs you have that are listed as "OXYCOD/APAP 5/325 mg (5 mg oxycodone and 325 mg of tylenol)

percodan is hydrocodone and tylenol

Vicodin is a brand name of the same mixture of drugs above (in a higher dose of oxycodone) and is not a drug in itself...like Valium is a brand name of the drug diazepam.

If anyone here lives in Canada they may know about codeine phosphate and can relay more about it. In short, you can buy bottles of the stuff with 8 mg of codeine phosphate and 500 mg (I believe) of tylenol in em OVER THE COUNTER w/o a script. Thing is..at least for me..I'll be sick on the tylenol WAYY before I'm ever buzzed on the codiene. Even so..it's still addicting.

and trapper...agreed...I spent 3+ years on oxycodone IR and still had withdrawals when I stopped...but nothing like it would have been with oxycontin because that stuff just keeps releasing and your body just keeps sayin YEAHHHHH BAAAAAAYYYY BBBBEEE" and when you stop..it's full on HIT THE BRAKES.

my doc cut me off when I told him I was smoking med pot and had a license. Best thing that ever happened to me after quitting drinking alcohol 15+ years ago.

be careful all.

haha Okay, there are a few alkaloids that are refined from opium in places like turkey and hungary and shitty places around there.... the important ones are codeine, morphine and then theres thebaine. now, codeine is used for mild pain relief and also when you have a cough.... we all know the syrup those rappers go on about and we all love it too.... tussionex haha. Morphine is the safest drug ever cause its not as euphoric and shit but it kills pain pretty damn good. Then theres thebaine...... the one used in the production of oxycodone. some may argue this but its a fact.... there is common misconceptions of what opiates we digest because once in us, it breaks down into things like hydromorphine and shit like that... so people assume thats what we're eating. not true. the answer to what the difference between oxycodone and oxycodone ER (extended release) has been answered.... they just put wax in to slow the metabolism down. Oxycontin is the name Purdue pharm. gave to their oxycodone ER pill. posters are right when they say not to fuck with this.... Its better than you could ever expect so it fucks you so hard in the end.
