They are both white, so no difference there, but the one is shiny, the other matte, so definitely a difference there.
I did just notice that there is a side effect warning on the oxycodone about burning, and feelings of warmth. This is not an overall flushing or warmth, I am usually quite cold, it is a localized sense of sunburned or burned skin, and sensitivity to clothing or pressure. Could it be the oxycodone? I have taken it at low dosages for years without side effects, but have doubled my usage in response to this problem, to 3 5 mg pills per day.
Would it be worthwhile to taper off the gabapentin altogether (i know that is a gradual process ) and discontinue the pain pills to eliminate them as possibilities? I am in so much discomfort even with them I am willing to try anything.
