This may be completely dumb, but I heard there were these green capsules are "around" that were filled with some sort of powder, they called them green monsters. I know that they are 20 mg, but I'm not really sure what the imprints are on it. From what i hear it's some sort of new drug [opiate] that is supposed to replace oxycontin eventually as a painkiller? From what I'm told it's quite a bit stronger, 5 to 10 times. I dont know if this is complete bull or not.

no, it doesn't sound dumb-
no, it doesn't sound dumb- it's probably just some dumb kid or something that doesn't know much about oxy, or narcotics for that matter, and these are all new to him, not to everyone else, or wherever "around" is LOL. There are all kinds of green pills, almost all are filled w/ powder, there are lots that are 20mg, so it could be almost anything that someone got confused about. just stick to what the docs, or the reliable sources say, not word of mouth.

Unfortunately, I can say
Unfortunately, I can say from experience that oral oxymorphone is nowhere near twice as strong as oxycodone in spite of hwo Endo markets their product.
I think someone is lying to you.
Oxymorphone is the only thing that comes to mind, but it's only twice as strong as oxycodone, not 5-10 times stronger.
Also, I know of no drug that is supposed to replace Oxycontin, other than possibly Remoxy.
So, I think what you have been told is wrong.
