What's the difference between oxycontin and oxycodone?  I looked it up in a google search but the answers were confusing.  Anyone?  Love, Peace and Blessings...Rev
P.S. Thanx for your support over the past few days, I am much better than I was when I posted because I'd unwittingly had gone c/t off percocet.  I wrote in one of my last posts that doc. was giving me 7.5's but actually it is sraight oxycodone 15mgs.

oxycodone is the drug in percocet and oxycontin.  Oxycontin is just a brand name.
