Advil with percocet

Common Questions and Answers about Advil with percocet

advair

Avatar n tn Yes, because Advil contains no acetominophen. (Tylenol). However, Percocet DOES contain Tylenol so you cannot take any other tylenol products with the Percocet.
Avatar f tn I was given vicodin and told I could alternate that with Advil. I took the vicodin only before bed and did ok with just the advil during the day. I would say just try the advil, it that doesn't cut it for you then the next time that you can take some meds take the percocet. By the third day I barely needed the advil anymore. I hope it starts to feel better for you soon! Take care and keep us posted.
422881 tn?1257603579 Maybe I’m better off just taking a Percocet to get me through the day. I can get by on a lot less Percocet than I can Advil. Hopefully all these aches and pains will improve in March when I come off the Peg and I will not need to take this stuff anymore.
Avatar f tn Also, the doctor mentioned I could switch from percocet to Advil, especially during the days as he pain gets better. Will taking advil over percocet help reduce the swelling?
Avatar n tn I can see the socket is getting smaller with a remnant of dressing left in it. I can control the pain with 600 mgs. of Advil. I prefer not to take the Percocet since I used it for 4 days straight. How long do they take to heal? Do I need more packing? ( I hate to do this route since it hurt so bad the first time. Not so much the packing but the syringe irrigation.) This dry socket was caused from smoking which I have not continued since Monday. I have stopped completely.
Avatar m tn My question relates to liver damage related to the use/abuse of pain medication. By pain medication I mean OTC(Tylenol/Advil) and of course, Vicodin and Percocet. The short version is: For the last 10 months I have struggled with lower back pain. I am 24 years old, 6'5'', 220lbs and generally healthy/athletic build. I started taking a lot of Tylenol(4g a day, but never more), sometimes mixed with Advil to curb my back pain. I then moved on to the doctor and go prescribed Vicodin.
422881 tn?1257603579 I checked out your post but I don't know what to think. I know Advil can raise your ALT. Going to go see if you've had any responses over there. Best.
Avatar m tn I have been on all sorts of meds in the past, including vicodin and percocet. My orthopedic Dr. told me before I could mix tylenol with advil and it would equal a pain pill without the narcotic effect. I don't remember how many of each to take and how many hours apart to take each of them. Is this safe? I would rather take these then go back on pain meds! Thanks!
Avatar m tn Hi guys! I have a lot of chronic pain problems with my knee, back and foot. I have been on all sorts of meds in the past, including vicodin and percocet. My orthopedic Dr. told me before I could mix tylenol with advil and it would equal a pain pill without the narcotic effect. I don't remember how many of each to take and how many hours apart to take each of them. Is this safe? I would rather take these then go back on pain meds! Thanks!
1116530 tn?1324913147 so with the doxy and the 3 advil, i would not want to take anything else. it is a weird/awkward procedure but it is not much worse than having a longer than usual exam/pap smear. you'll feel better if you are coherent and can understand what they are doing. they explain along the way and tell you what looks good/is normal as they go.
890900 tn?1284577303 ADELPHI, Md. - Government experts say prescription drugs like Vicodin and Percocet that combine a popular painkiller with stronger narcotics should be eliminated because of their role in deadly overdoses. A Food and Drug Administration panel on Tuesday voted 20-17 that prescription drugs that combine acetaminophen with other painkilling ingredients should be pulled off the market.
1930941 tn?1400107522 I am 27 days percocet free! Yea! I also in the past was an alcholic. I didn't drink anymore until I tried to quit the percocet. Now I am 27 days free from alcohol and percs. I was taking about 8-10 percs (10-325) for about a year. Before I took Vicodin for 2 years but not abuseing it. I am very happy to be clean but I am suffering terribly from joint pain in legs and headaches. I take Advil for joint pain and if the headache is bad I take Excedrin.
Avatar n tn s they are high in potassium and should help with the muscle pain. Try some Advil for the headaches. Hang in there and keep going. Get this over with, you have your whole life ahead of you. Keep reading and posting on this forum. You will need support because of cravings and the chance of relapse. Stay strong.
Avatar f tn I'm trying to stay away from percocet my Dentist gave me for Dry Socket but I'm in pain. I've been taking Advil but that's just not working. I got online to keep my mind busy and away from pain pills. Any comment or toughts on how to deal with this without having to turn to pain meds would be great. Thank you....
Avatar f tn oh my sweet jesus...Day three of Percs..took up to 20 a day..last Friday I had seven pills left...Im so done with this..but its hard..I read the posts and realize how many people are going through what I am..Its nasty..oh my ...going to the doc this afternoon...going to get something to help me sleep..took the last three days off work..but nobody knows anything..kept this addition to myself...until now...so people any idea of when and how long...and is there anything I can take to help..
Avatar f tn If not then i would think they prescribed you something semi strong? They should have. And just take advil or tylenol with it if u can and if your not breastfeeding.
Avatar m tn MY husband has had a cervical fusion and herniated disc - he does very physical work-construction- and gets through with advil. I hope you get some relief. Oh..maybe an aleve? At least you know you dont want narcotics- way to stay strong!
Avatar f tn I have been on percocet on and off for over a year due to several surgeries. never took them for more than 2/3 days until June 2009 after knee replacement. I started to get of and started to have withdrall symptoms: nausea, gas, night sweats et all. Any suggestions taking into consideration that I'll have back surgery in 2 weeks????
Avatar m tn I have been on percocet for years off and on due to 47 surgeries. I have had 4 this year and need one more in December. I quit percocet c/t two days ago and yesterday I thought I was losing my mind, high anxiety, restlessness and everything else that goes with withdrawls. I can not sleep and am constantly laying down, getting up, moving, back to bed and the routine goes on. I don't know what to do. I did take a clonzapem for the anxiety which I am hoping helps.

Avatar f tn The only thing I would be worried about is the cravings that may come after your done with the percocet. In the past I would have months of clean time, then think I could get away with taking some pills. Sometimes I could go months of using occassionally but it always ended up leading back to daily use. So just be cautious, like you said get rid of them asap, try to get by with the advil after that. I wish you a speedy recovery from your surgery. Take Care!
Avatar f tn gatorades, green tea ( theanine on it, will help your mood and to relax), tonic water ( it has quinine and it will help you with RLS ) Hylands restful legs to help you with RLS , hylands cramps legs maybe some natural stuff to help you with sleep like melatonin and valerian root ( good for anxiety too and it helped me with the stomach cramps , imo). lots of hot baths ( with epsom salts if you have them ...
Avatar n tn Tylenol is perfectly safe.
Avatar m tn I have herd that there is a kit from the health food store called Opiod detox. Does anyone know if it works???? 4: will I ever feel normal again.. Please someone who has been through this reply. I am so scared.... WISH ME LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Avatar f tn Honey if you are in pain that is not cool, but don't let your mind play tricks on you..please this is one thing you don't want to play around with ..its like playing with fire..Can you use naproxen..its a very strong type of IBProfin ...this is a journey you don't want to go down again..having a addicted mind and thought life is the hardest to over come you don't want to train yourself all over again.
1394601 tn?1328032308 I began taking my Rebif shots without taking Advil in advance. Am I playing with fire?
1930941 tn?1400107522 The first 48 hours is the most challenging; if you do need the opiate, you can follow it with the ibuprofen as the next dose--all with your doctor's consent and instructions, of course. In our surgical practice here, most of our patients used far less opiate pain medicine this way. I wish you an easy time of it! Let us know how things are going, and feel free to ask more questions.
Avatar f tn advil is a minor anti inflammatory I have never heard of it prescribed for this before but it could help a little I suppose more widely prescribed for GM are some of the big anti inflammatories - particularly prednisone or methotrexate I did take Naproxen for some time, (months at a pretty high dose - it really attacks your stomach lining though so I went off), which I guess is a step up from advil, and is a non steroidal anti inflammatory (NSAID), can't say if it helped with the inflamma
