Percocet 10 mg dosage

Common Questions and Answers about Percocet 10 mg dosage

percocet

Avatar m tn They have me on 30 mg oxycontin, twice daily, 10/325 percocet 6 a day, soma 4 times daily and xanax 2 mg for anxiety. What are my options for the breakthrough pain, that is what I am taking the percocet for and I need to stop with the Tylenol already enough is enough. I talked with my doc last time I was there to see her, and this is when she switched me to the percocet from Vicoprofen, due to the fact that it was doing nothing for the pain.
210982 tn?1280983895 Yes although dosage and frequency of usage does matter. In my experience morphine, high dosage oxycontin and methadone are the most effective (and the most addicting) pain killers.
Avatar n tn Dr switched me from 20mg percocet to hydromorphone 10 mg what is difference
Avatar f tn So if you were prescribed 10 mg of oxycontin you were receiving less than 1 mg of oxycodone per hour versus the 10 mg of percocet that was released immediately into your system. I don't know if you have had addiction issues in the past as you didn't state anything that would make me believe that. If you don't have addiction issues, it is very unlikely that would become addicted to the medication. Your body may become dependant but that is completely different.
1667772 tn?1303819811 then I found out my husband was having an affair, then he had to go to court for some other things and I felt I couldnt function without the pills, so I ended up taking more than I was.....I have been taking 10 mg Lortabs (which ran out) so now 5 mg Vicodin and also in between, 5 or 10 mg percocets (whatever I can get from friends)....I decided to cut down the past few days and today I feel terrible....Have sweats, chills,shivering, stomach pains, sneezing & stuffy nose..
Avatar m tn I admit my own naivity on the subject, so I leave it to one of you to help understand. I have come in contact with Percocet, which contains 2.5MG of Oxy, but then I also see an 80mg Oxy tablet on the market. Is the 80mg a time released version? Can you cut the pill four ways to instead have 4 20mg doses? Can anyone send me to a decent place to learn about Oxy doses?
Avatar f tn s not in time released form. The difference is percocet has acetaminophen 325mg to be exact. Increasing the dosage of percocets is bad because of the acet. Alot of times doctors perscribe oxycontin, or roxicets.... because the patients stomach can't handle the acet. It's very hard on the stomach. I hope that answers your question.
Avatar n tn I just dont think telling me I need to get a monkey off my back is helpful, I know there is a problem. I would not be here if I didnt. And this was not the issue anyway, I was asking about dosing so I can start cutting down and tapering. I realize everyone is on diiferent dosages, thats why I gave the examples. I was not judging that, I was trying to figure out how to calculate MY dosage in MG.
Avatar f tn ve begun taking MS-Contin which is morphine (time released) 15 mg. twice per day. With that my doctor prescribes percocet 10/325 mg. for break through pain. I've only been taking the MS-Contin now for two (2) months. But the problem I seem to be having is that I still hurt unless I take four (4) percocet a day along with the two (2) MS-Contin.
1337425 tn?1278173987 I've been prescribed oxycontin, 210 mg a day, plus 40 mg a day percocet, and am now in my 5th day of going cold turkey. Can someone please tell me how much longer this hell will last? I can't get a dr. to contact or help me, so that's why I'm here.
1535595 tn?1317990033 But I do know people who had to take much larger doses than I have been prescribed (5mg - 10 mg per dose every 4-6 hours as needed) and have taken that multiple times daily and their baby was absolutely fine with no signs of withdrawal! Of course, every case is different, and I don't know what your dosage is, but I am sure your doctors would not give you something that was bad for your baby.
Avatar f tn t make me too drowsey, if so I will need to go back to the Vicodin or Percocet. One more quick question, my Dr. says a 10 mg perc is the same as a 10 mg vicodin but the percs seem stronger to me. What's your opinion on that? Thanks again for the help.
Avatar m tn I just saw your comment which gives me some hope - I started 5 mg around 9 Feb, upped to 10 mg around 20 feb, up to 15 mg 11 March and 20 mg 6 April (10 days ago). I have seen improvement in depression but still have anxiety episodes. I also don't feel "normal" yet - so I have improvement but only say 50%. Should I continue a bit longer with the 20 mg. Doc added low dose 10 mg nortriptylene which I started last night and slept better.
Avatar m tn I so much agree w/ Bkitty! I started taking lortabs 5 mg, then upped to 7.5 mg then upped to 10 mg. It was all for legitimate pain. After being able to take them as prescribed for awhile, I started upping them for the relief and the way I felt, and the energy I had (even tho a nice warm fuzz in head), and b4 I knew it, by the time I finally survived a car wreck with ligit pain and back surgery for two disc replacements, I was taking 20-30 mg/day.
1325672 tn?1290084214 Saw pain doctor today. He put me on 2/10 mg oxy's and 4 perc's a day. The perc's are as needed. But with my back i know i will need the 4/mg perc's a day. What should i do?
Avatar m tn Hydrocodone is available without tylenol. The brand name is vicoprofen and it has 7.5 mg of hydrocodone and 200 mg of ibuprofen, which is the same as one Advil tablet. Vicoprofen also has a generic equivalent. I've found it to be a more effective short-acting medication than regular vicodin, probably because ibuprofen is a true anti-inflammatory which tylenol isn't.
Avatar n tn STUPID!! So I took percocet 4 a week, and 2 pills 4 x a day.. of 10/325.. Now tis is 48 hours and I am in terrible wd's!! same stuff sweats, rls, insomnia.. ect.

Avatar n tn Hello. I was wondering if I could get your opinion. I was on 112 mg of Synthroid. My results were as follows: TSH .87 (.67-4.5) Free T4 1.17 I feel a little hyper. I suspect that I do better with my TSH a little higher. Would the next step be to drop down to 100 mg of Synthroid? Thank you for your opinion.
Avatar n tn Let me ask you a question, what is your son being treated for? My son has been on zoloft for anixety for 10 years and he takes 50 mg and does real good. I suppose it depends what he his being treated for but to me that is a high dose. I would probably ask the doctor about taking a different med. Good Luck.
Avatar f tn From my experience getting away from my oxycontin use which was reaching the 300 and 400mg daily level last Fall, a week and a half taper getting down into the 10 to 20 mg daily dose in the preceding 2 days before quiting is the minimum amount of time to make a difference in the physical withdrawals once you quit. I did a fast track taper of 4 or 5 days last August using 10 mg percocets but it wasn't quite enough time to make any substantial difference..
Avatar n tn Was just wondering how strong each thing is. Are they all like 5, 7.5 or 10 or does one particular one just start out at 10?
Avatar m tn For most people, as long as you are consistently putting a narcotic into your body, you will grow a tolerance. But I know someone who has taken percocet for over 20 years and has been at the same dosage basically the whole time. Everyone is different. Have you tried medications other than narcotics?
