does percocet have codeine in it

I have had only had a few previous pain problems in my life. I have to work and have generally just taken Ibuprofen. The last two years I have had increasing pain. Pretty intense the last year. I have to keep my job and home so I still just take Ibuprofen. I found out I had very big benign tumors. I had an artery embolism to try to help. It causes great pain especially the fist night in the hospital.

It appears fro what ever reason codeine constipates you. It does not have the affect on me. If that is the only side effect you have from it I would just treat the constipation. Your pharmacist will be able to best direct you.

Codeine is not nearly as strong as oxycodone and I assume his PCP is aware of his problems with oxycodone. Indeed it would take many codeine to compare to one oxycodone. His PCP may have prescribed him only enough for several days. If his physician felt he required the drug for pain he may be cutting him some slack. I have a friend that can handle hydrocodone without a problem but he can't handle percocet. He may be rare but it appears to be true for him.

(proudly I might add), she said it was an opioid. So my question is, does opioids do the same thing as far as our receptors, and endorphins in our brains from percocets. With the patch she said she has never felt the things I described to her. I was just curious, does fentanyl patches work the same way as percocets? And what is the difference btw. a opioid, vs. opiate? The more knowledgable to all these drugs the better huh.

it affects ur life negatively....ur getting it on the internet or streets, It sounds like u have a condition and its being treated. Sounds fine to me. Ur right that as soon as u say u are on pain meds people freak out and think ur an addict. That isnt always the case. I think being an addict means u r misusing ur medecine or ur taking medecine that isnt prescribed to u. Just because u take meds everyday doesnt automatically make u an addict that needs help.

I feel slightly dizzy when it happens and it throws me off a little bit. I have tried to research it and learned that these medicines act on the inner eardrum some how, could that have something to do with this? I am unable to go to my doctor as I am out of town for the next 2 weeks and the local pharmacist only said it's not going to make me go deaf... but I was just worried if it could be some other problem or if that was just a random side effect and nothing to stress about.

i went to a treatment center for almost one month and never touched another pill that i thought i could become addicted to - almost 8 years later, this past December, I fell and broke my hand and was prescribed Percocet by the ER doctor for the pain. I knew I should have refused it, I had never had this medication before, but was well aware of the addiction level of it. I took the prescription, filled the 30 tablets, and within about 4 days, had consumed all of them.

There both opiates, although I do believe the oxycodone is somewhat stronger than codeine. I also have chronic pain in my knee mainly, but also hip and lower back. Over the years Ive taken all different kinds of pain meds which did help with the pain, but really all their doing is masking the pain.

i am having a horrible tooth ache its my wisdom tooth it needs to be pulled but it cant be extracted until wednesday so this morning i took a vicodin 750 mg but i dnt have any left when the pain kicks back in can i take a percocet 10 mg and it want interact with the vic in my body thanx for your time

if someone gave me a tylenol or a tylenol with codeine, id never know the difference from looking at it. i had never even seen a percocet until my dentist placed me on it in october. the only reason i caught onto it was that i felt really weird after taking it, so i called my mom and asked her to make sure she gave me a tylenol.

I did just look on the web and it said it was very possible..if ibuprofin can show a false positive for methadone than it's highly likely..

My father gave me this Canadian tylenol with caffeine and codeine in it. I have been taking it for months at about 12 to 16 a day as that's what he said to do. I took my last four this morning. I am really frightened that I'm going have bad withdrawals from it. What can I do? Please help!

Xray of ankle is fine and most pain killers are safe in pregnancy including Tylenol 3 (codeine) and vicodien, percocet too. I have a fractured spine and pelvis and I am 29 weeks pregnant and take vicodein every day for pain. My dr is aware and both dr and OB are completely fine with it. They said it's better to control the pain that not bc your bodys reaction to pain can stress the baby.

"Percocet is acetaminophen and oxycodone (opioid)." "Tylenol 3 is acetaminophen and codeine (opioid)." "Codeine is the starting material and prototype of a large class of mainly mild to moderately strong opioids such as hydrocodone, dihydrocodeine and its derivatives such as nicocodeine, oxycodone etc." -------- So if you are looking to avoid opioids - Tylenol 3 isn't such a great idea.

he said it works just as good, but not addictive, but after the first pill i was rushed to emergency because i had a reaction, but they said it is very uncommon to have a reaction to that if you dont from codeine or oxy. and no i dont get why it is in the same family as morphine but dosnt get you hooked but its true, ask your dr.

How long does it take to get Codeine out of your system if you go cold turkey?

Maybe that has something to do with it. I know I had issues and they gave me Percocet. I would assume its ok, but since it sounds like a dentist wrote out the script, might want to call in to you Dr office and run it by them really quick.

I live in Australia and my doctor said I could take panadeine forte for pain. Not sure if you have it where you live but it's 500mg of paracetamol and 30mg of codeine. So I'm guessing you can have codeine during pregnancy but I'm not sure how much. Ask your doctor.

all narcotics when taken for any duration have withdrawl symptoms. it depends on the strength, the amounts taken, and the length of time you were on them. i have degenerative disk disease, degenerative arthritis, and have run the gamut of narcotics for many years. i was sooo glad to find tramadol- not a narcotic, long lasting and very effective on chronic pain. be careful!!!!!! the withdrawls are worse than any narcotic!

I'm on the NET right now looking every pill up! T3'S were never my drug of choice so I didn't worry about it when my friend said to use it to curb the pain. Kind of like valium to sleep I thought. I freaked myself out so much over it that when I ran down to the car to grab the water from the trunk I dropped my change purse with all my ID's & $$ in it. If it wasn't for my HONEST nabor I would have lost it for good.

tell other family members? does she have the support there? is she aware of her problem and wants to stop? it also seems she has some other issues as well. get a counseler, or phycologist someone she can talk to and get professional help. I hope this helps and I'm sure more people that maybe fermilliar with these situations will chime in.

From what I know, they are the same medication but the later does not have acetaminophen in it. Some people say it works better for their pain and others say that it does not. I'm sorry I couldn't have been more help to you.

Its like I had forgotten how everything smelled and tasted. I have been on the percocet for 5 years. I have some energy now and kinda getting in the swing of life, but this is just a week. I thought it may take longer. Funny how it seems that everything I have done before percocet seems new to me. I just wonder if this sensation will go away and the withdrawals will kick back in or what? Sorry if this seems like a corny question.

Hello!! I also abused Percocet. You are early in your withdraw...it is going to take some time. The first week is pure hell I'm not going to sugar coat it. You will get through this!!!!!i am on day 19 today and still dealing with issues. After the first 7 days the physical withdraws will subside quite a bit. Stock up on items in the Thomas recipe...they will help!!!! How much and how long were you taking the percs? Stay strong and good luck to you!!

Who knows for sure really. But it is a plain fact that IT WILL GET BETTER. I have not taken any pills for two weeks now and am feeling pretty good. There is a lot to deal with after the inital detox, which is hell, but the clock continues to tick and nevertheless and you will get some relief. The struggle is sometimes necessary in order to recognize the true gravity of the situation. Nothing of great importance was never accomplished easily.

It's sad that we have to worry so much about every little thing. I take it you were having a bad migraine or you were having a Lupus flare up when you took the Percocet? I'm just guessing and asking. Are you being under medicated for your medical conditions? I agree with the above posters, it depends on how in depth the test is. You'll have to wait to see what the results are. At least the nurse didn't flip out on you and that's good thing.

after surgery I will get dilaudid ( morphine allergy) in hospital and doc said either tylenol 3 or darvocet as surgery should really cure my pain ( cervical discectomy) Im really just curious how does it go in a row for strongness,,is it like tylenol3, darvocet, vidocin 500, vicodin es, vicodin hp, percocet, percodan, oxucotin...is that right?

Also I have just recently had a tooth extracted and ended up with a dry socket. my pain meds have been switched from percocet to tylenol 3. Perhaps this could also have something to do with the lack of sleep.
