Question Tolerance Question

I'm a chronic pain patient, so my meds come from my doc. I had been on vicoden for 9 months or so (10mg/day) and it was giving me trouble so I was switched to liquid roxicodone. Problem with that is wears off in 2 hours, max. So I've been off the vicoden for 3 weeks or so, and I'm picking up a refill of that tomorow. Will my tolerance for the vicoden be lower then it was, or will my use of the roxicodone in the interim keep my overall opiate tolerance up? Ideally, I can swap between the two every few weeks to keep my tolerance lower, or do I have the science wrong? It's oxycodone vs hydrocodone, right?

Thanks.
