[Smiles Are Fake]

IS A PERCOCET 30MG THE SAME THING AS OXYCONTIN?? I HAVE A HORRIBLE MIGRAINE AND GOT 2 FROM MY UNCLE WAS WONDERING ABOUT THEM???

[cathy5841]

i have to agree with avis..narcotics do NOT work on migraine headaches.

[avisg]

Narcotics dont work on migranies . They will get rid of headaches of other types .30mg perks is alot for a heardache it is oxycondone.

[wannabefree330]

They are the same medication, just different delivery.  Both contain oxycodone.  The oxycontin is delivered as a time release- certain amt over long period of time.  The percocet contains tylenol and the med is delivered all at once.  I'd suggest a quiet, dark room, ice pack, ibuprofen and time.

[wannabefree330]

Both have the drug oxydodone in them.  The oxycontin is designed to be time released (-contin  = continuous).  It delivers a certain amt of drug at a constant rate.  the percocet is oxycodone w/acetominophen (tylenol).  It is designed to deliver a certain amt of drug all at once.  So while they are both the same drug, they are delivered a bit different.  If you take them for a headache, chances are once it wears off the h/a will return and be worse.  I'd suggest a quiet, dark room; an ice pack, some ibuprofen, and time.

Percocet isn't made in a 30mg strength, only 5mg, 7.5 mg and 10mg.  Percocet is oxycodone and tylenol.  Oxycontin is oxycodone in a time released pill.  They used to make a capsule of 15mg of fast release oxycodone that people called percocet 15's but that was a misnomer.  I'm not sure that they still make them here in the US.

oxycotin i believe is way stronger. be careful taking percs for a migraine. there are other things out there for that. hope someone can come along and let you know what you can take. but, please wait, until then before taking.
