A common dose of oxycodone is 5mg with Tylenol 325mg and it is not a long acting medication as the half-life is 3-5 hours which coincides with what you stated as effectiveness. You might try talking to your doc about switching to Morphine Sulfate (long acting) instead, which may provide you with better pain relief if it’s chronic. My journey took me from Tylenol w/ Codeine #3 and eventually to #4 then to Morphine Sulfate LA to Buprenorphine Patch 20mcg.
