Hello Again Truth,

The on different in the Percocets that you are asking about it the amount of acetaminophen (tylenol) in each. They both contain 10mg of oxycodone.

Will one make you more sleepy than the other? I guess that depends on if the  acetaminophen makes you sleepy.

Take care, Tuck

One more time , If I was to Stop Percocet and start Hydrocone would it make me less Sleepy it the Meds is whats causing it.

Hydrocodone has the same side effects as does Oxycodone. If you are susceptible to become drowsy from Oxycodone, then it is safe to assume the hydrocodone may make you sleepy as well. On the other hand I have heard some people say that Hydrocodone gives them more energy and insomnia when they take it, so it really depends on how your body reacts to it. No two people are the same in that regard. I remember when I used to take Norco I never knew if I would get drowsy or hyper when I took it. It affected me different at different times. You really can't say for sure either way. Sorry, I know this does not help. Just know that it has the potential to make you really drowsy so take care when taking it. Make sure you know how you react before you go out and do any activities, especially driving.  
Good luck and best wishes               Audrea

As I think I said in your other post I take hydrocodone. It makes me sleepy, much to the degree that oxycodone does for you.

I agree with Audrea, if oxycodone makes my sleepy, hydrocodone will most likely have the same effect on you. But it is worth a try to change if the sleepiness is bothersome.

I have a simliar question - I am used to 10/650....and the doctor gave me 10/325 as a refill. is this not as effective on pain?

[nick30]

it has less acetaminophen in it(which is an anti-inflammitory). your dr probably changed it to avoid damaging your liver. you should ask him if you are concerned about it.
