Question : Hello. I have Parkinson’s disease and have a need to feel good tonight. I know you are not supposed to inhale Oxycodone. I have OxyNorm 5mg in a fell gel capsule. Will this give the same rush as the tabs crushed. I have had Parkinson’s for 11 years and have limited options for pleasure. Thank you. I am not an addict.

Brief Answer:
You will experience the same effects and rush like if you are taking tablet

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

You can take oxynorm 5 mg capsule and it will provide the same effect as oxycodone crushed tablet.
If you experienced rush before while using oxycodone tablet most likely you are going to experience the same rash despite you changing the form from crushed tablet to capsule. It also will give you the desirable effects.
I would not advice to use oxycodone for pleasure only in severe pain because it has addiction effects.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
