> Take care when you try to compare hydrocodone with oxycodone. It is often claimed that 5mg of oxycodone is 'equivalent' to 5mg of hydrocodone. This is only an approximation however and shouldn't be taken to seriously. The only way to accurately compare the effects of hydrocodone and oxycodone would be to take a range of different doses of each opioid.

You're right - hydrocodone dosing = oxycodone dosing - however, I still react differently to hydrocodone. If I do decide to return to the Oxycodone - I think I'll be at 20mg instead of 10mg.
I'll keep you posted! Hope all is well with you!
