Back Pain, Buzzing Sensation. Oxycodone, Vicodin Prescribed. Advise?
I was prescribed 30 mg oxycodone 2 times per day for back pain. 1) I have a vague "buzz" type of feeling, nothing unpleasant , just not sharp. Is that normal, and will it persist? 2) the PA recommended I continue my vicodin 325 mg, for break through pain during my work day, essentially as a back up to the oxycodone. However, on this website and others I can't find any interaction info.
I'm the owner of the company, coming back slowly, but I'm afraid drug 1 and drug 2 could put me on the floor. Does anyone know the interaction? I have not yet taken the Vicodin until I hear from someone else. Please reply!
Thanks

You should not exceed more than 650-1,000mg of acetaminophen within 4 hours, As for mixing Hydrocodone (the opiate in Vicodin) and Oxycodone (the opiate in percocet) only do so with small doses, and with doctors recommendation. Or wait at least 4 hours after taking Vicodin/Hydrocodone or Percocet/Oxycodone before taking the other medication.
