Am I still taking percocet+\\\]]

Is the pill. Oxaydo 5mg tabs, just like taking a percocet 5/325 ?  They are suppose to be a deterrant.  So do they act just as the actual percocet pill?

You are still taking a narcotic.  The only difference is it must be taken orally as any other way doesnt work.  Still does a number on your brain and body.

From what I read, they are the same as a Percocet (oxycodone immediate release) except they have had a polymer added when manufactured.  This is suppose to deter abuse because they cannot be crushed (too hard) and they cannot be liquifiedf for iv abuse because they turn into a gel like substance.

It seems they are a recently FDA approved form of oxycodone manufactured with an abuse deterrent in them.  The pain relief should be the same.

thankyou clean.......so they are still messing with my brain then....still knocking things a wack.  Producing false endorphin.  I need my brain to heal.I thought they were not the same.  So the way they work on the brain receptors is the same.  No wonder I still feel so depressed and foggy minded.
