What Pain Med is stronger? Oxycontin 20mg, or Tylenol#3 or hydrocodone cough syrup or the650/100 darvocet?

Question

Bronchitis chest pain - bad - these are the options dr gave

Answer 1

Oxy is the strongest.. I recommend hydro cough syrup or if you tolerate narcotics well, then take the oxycontin

Answer 2

oxycontin is a very strong narcotic and very addictive. I would stay away from that.  Try the  cough syrup and see if that helps.  Tylenol 3's aren't very strong and neither is darvocet.  And since you have bronchitis, it should help with the cough.

Answer 3

oxycontin is about the strongest thing you can take, but it is extremely addictive and you can develop a chemical dependance very easily..hydrocodone and darvocet are much less likely to gain a chemical dependence from...if you can get by with tylenol take those

Answer 4

my husband says that oxycontin is deffanatly the strongest of all of them tylenol3 is like tylenol but it will help a headach, the cough syrup o please and darvocet tylenol is better then those he says

Answer 5

By far,oxycotin.But it's a dangerous drug.Alot of people have overdosed on it.I would try the cough syrup.
