There are afew different instant release oxycodone products out there without the tylenol, I currently take the generic form of Roxicodone. Basically, Percocet without the fillers, cheaper, and for me, personally, more effective.
Worth looking into, just hard to find, with the oxy. shortage. Good luck!

The active ingredient in percocet can be prescribed alone, without the tylenol in it-or ask for percodan--it's the same thing except it has aspirin instead of tylenol. I took percodan for years because I can't take tylenol and it worked quite nicely until I needed something stronger.
