It is NOT the same thing. The Codone in Hydrocodone is not like codeine at all, it is Synthesized from, but it is nothing like it! 3 Tylenol 3's is like 5mg's of Oxycodone. Here is a cool converter for you. http://www.globalrph.com/narcotic.cgi NOPE! It is NOT the same thing.

Tylenol #1 contains 8 mg of codeine, where Tylenol #3 contains 30 mg of codeine and is prescribed most when a codeine prep is prescribed. There are a number of short acting opiates that are prescribed for the treatment of pain. Do discuss with your doc. No, they’re not.

I suggest using one or the other until you talk to you Rheumatologist. edit---- Contrary to what "somone's mom" said, the dosages of either drug depend on what your physician prescribed for you. Mixing pain relieving medication is never a good idea unless you have consulted your physician and his/her directions state it's okay to mix medication. The major differences are typically what anti-steroidal is combined with the opiate but, for you understanding, both codiene and oxycodone are both opiates with similar potency. I suggest using which ever medication is working "the best" and consult your Rheumatologist.
