Oxycodone Street Names & Brand Names

Oxycodone (brand name OxyContin) is an opioid prescription drug used to treat those suffering from moderate to severe pain. Oxycodone is a Schedule II controlled substance, which means it has a high potential for abuse and can lead to psychological or physical dependence.

Because the drug can be abused to experience feelings of euphoria, some turn to the illicit drug market or the street to achieve the desired high. Because of this, oxycodone may be known by various street names.

Oxycodone may be used in combination with acetaminophen. This combination is known by numerous brand names, including Percocet and Roxicet.

The risk of an overdose may be increased when purchasing oxycodone on the illicit drug market or simply off the street. Various drug interactions may take place when oxycodone is combined with other drugs, especially opioid painkillers.

Substances to avoid with oxycodone, as well as their slang terms, include:

• alcohol
• fentanyl or Actiq (dance fever, china girl, apache, jackpot, goodfella)
• hydromorphone or Dilaudid (footballs, dillies, juice)

• methadone
• hallucinogens such as LSD (acid, tabs) and MDMA (molly, ecstasy)

Withdrawal Symptoms

If you abruptly stop oxycodone use, you may experience withdrawal symptoms such as weakness, loss of appetite, or a rapid heart rate. 

Additionally, you may feel muscle pain and aches as well as cramps, nausea, and vomiting. Mental health issues may also develop such as anxiety, depression, or irritability.

Oxycodone Overdose

The risk of overdose may be increased in those who purchase oxycodone on the illicit drug market. Taking oxycodone as a street drug may contain contaminants which interact with the drug.

Even small traces of fentanyl may result in an overdose. Abusing oxycodone by snorting, smoking, or injecting the drug can also lead to an opioid overdose.
