Re: Oxycodone vs Hydrocodone.

They are very similar in action and reaction. They have very similar molecules. People often seem to exhibit PLACEBO EFFECT between these two drugs. I would bet money that most wouldn't pass the "pepsi challenge" with these two medications (in comparible dosing)
OXYcodone is somewhat stronger but not by all that much.

The real difference?
Hydrocodone has a hydrogen base molecule, and Oxycodone has an oxygen base molecule.


They are so similar I wouldn't concern MYSELF with switching unless you NEED to (isn't helping, lets say) but with that, I'd just ask for a higher dose.. but it doesn't appear you need to. It sounds like you are doing fine. (don't fix what isn't broke comes to mind .)
This isn't comparing apples and oranges, it's comparing a "Granny Smith" to a "Gala" apple. different but still an apple.

JMO, take it or leave it.
