OXY IR

What is the difference between OXY IR and Percocets.  My doc took me off of Percocets because I believe that it was causing my Polycythemia.  The OXY IR is not working as well as the Percocets.  Both were 5mg.  Is there a stronger OXY IR?

Will it be hard coming off these like the Hydrocodones would be after using them for a few months.  Will the side effects be the same and does it get easier
