Depends. Do you have tolerance? For me oxy is generally stronger but those are some TINY amount you are talking about. Take both? What kinda pain is it?
Knee pain, need replacement. Been putting off surgery for several years. Also back pain from car accident. Getting older and was in accident years ago. Been in construction work since very young and back just gets worse over the years. Got a very high tolerance, I can eat tabs like candy thruout the day. Not good for liver I know. I do have bloodwork done twice a year to have my liver checked because of alcohol problem years ago and it allways comes back good. I,m allways surprised because I,ve been taking lots of tabs for over ten years now. I got script and suppose to take up to 4 10mg. lortabs a day for pain. It does not even touch the pain. Don,t have money for knee surgery right now either. A friend of my gf asked for some tabs to hold her over until she gets her script filled in 3-4 days and she will replace them with 7.5 oxycodone. Done this once before. Shes good for it but if I give her 10 10mg. tabs and she gives me 10 7.5 oxycodone back I was wondering if I was getting screwed a little because of the mg. strength. I,ll do it anyways cause I don,t like to see anyone hurting or going into wds.
I believe the Oxy-Hydro ratio is about 1.5:1, so 7.5mg of Oxy is equivalent to 11.25mg of Hydrocodone. So in this case, they're about equal. Multiplied by 10 though, you would come out about 12.5mg ahead.
It depends on the person and the tolerance. I've found oxy to be stronger for myself, but I use to pop Hydros like their candy so to even feel anything I need about 7 10mg pills. If its not for recreation but rather for legitamate pain I think I would use the Hydro, assuming you have no tolerance for any drugs. Hydros also make me much more tired than Oxy's do.
