There is an over the counter pill call mersyndol. It is 8mg codeine and acetominophen. I'm not sure how much asap is in it but it is the max strength codeine you can get without a script. Hope this helps.

I have been taking 10 / 500 of hydrocodone for almost 2 years and want to taper off of these damn things and I know they make 7.5 and 5 of the hydro but I have used the Canadian ones and they seem to work for other pain I had in the past before the hydro so I though it may be a better pain controler so I can get of the other. I also abuse the hydro.

I am from Canada and basically, (at least as far as I know) the percocet is 5/325 mg and it is oxycodone. I'm not sure what the difference is between oxycodone and hydrocodone. I might look into suboxone if I were you but that is a personal choice. I don't know if I've helped you any or not. Good luck
