Norco versus percocet

by redblue, Mar 20, 2007 12:00AM
Which is stronger 10 mg/325 norco (hydrocodone) or 10 mg/325 percocet (oxycodone)?  or are they the same?  I looked this up on 2 different narcotic converter calculators and they each gave me a different answer (unless of course it was operator error :)

Just a thought instead of comparing Norcos and Percs how about Motrin 800 or something in the NSAID meds???????

In answer to your question there the same 10/325 is the same in Norcos and Percs, its the persons metabolism, tolerance levels etc. that make the difference.

The bad thing about Narcotic Opiate Pain Meds are why these forums exist...........think about it..........

For pain relied I think Oxycodon in Percocet is 1.5 time as effertive as Hydrocodon.

so 1 and a half Norco 10/325's = 1 10/325 Percocet for pain relief.

I think Codein is 30mg = 10mg of percocet for pain relief.

Don't quote me as I am going from memory but you get the idea and the ball park ratio.

Oxycodone is the stronger of the two. To me percs are about 4 times as strong and last longer for pain relief !!

the rock!!

In my experience, it depends on the person and how their body reacts to the med.  For actual pain - percs worked better than morphine - by far - at least for me.

Although I probably never really had a pain that a hydro couldn't at least make tolerable.

I'm an addict and I never really took them for pain much.

Thanks everyone.  so her pain doctor is correct in saying that percocet is stronger than norco, my g/f's doctor wants to switch her from 7 of the 10mg/325 norco per day to 6 of the 10 mg/325 percocet per day.
