percocet

1535595 tn?1317990033 But I have been on Percocet during my other two pregnancies also, for kidney blockage, and both of my children are very healthy and had no complications (Now 9 and 4 years old :o) I do not take it every day, only sparingly if I absolutely need to (and am thrilled that I haven't needed any of it for two weeks).
Avatar f tn I've been on ambien for over a year and just started taking percocets for a knee injury about 3 months ago. i've just tryed to go cold turkey off these drugs just because I know its not healthy. I keep seeking spiritual advice but is there something else that can be done and is it normal to feel so awful.( diahrea, hot and cold flashes, crying uncontrollably, restless legs, and insomnia of course? How long does these awful symptoms normally last?

Avatar n tn I have a couple questions concerning possibly having a tummy tuck done. I have 3 children and we are considering a fourth in the next year and a half. With each pregnancy, my abdomen has become more stretched and I'm left with an "overhang" or an "apron" of tissue no matter how many toning exercises I do.
Avatar n tn I have chronic pain and fibromyalgia and have seen a number of different specialists and tried lyrica, cymbalta and lots of different medications before my pain management doctor put me on Percocet. It is the only thing that helps me function everyday. I am now pregnant. My pain management doctor refused to continue to prescribe it to me even though I have been on it for almost 2 years now. She told me to take tylenol which doesn't come close to helping with the pain.

Avatar f tn I have to do this for myself my children and my new job that I start in two weeks . My dr recently prescribed me Xanax and celexa for anxiety and depression but I was to scared to tell him about the pills I have been taking ... I have not started the celexa because I am scared it will interact with the Percocet and haven't taken Amy Xanax because i haven't needed it .. Is it safe to take the celexa while I am coming off the Percocet or should I wait?

Avatar f tn Just in case you are curious, it takes us three to four days to detox a patient and get him/her back home drug free and feeling well on Naltrexone therapy (no opiates). At home, the basic technique is to space out the amount your friend takes on a consistent manner until you take only at night, than half that amount at night, than every other night and then none. I would say he should space out the pills and try to cut down by 5 mg a day.
Avatar n tn Patients should be warned not to exceed the maximum recommended total daily dosage of acetaminophen (4 g/day in adults and children 12 years of age or older), and to read all prescription and over-the-counter medication labels to ensure they are not taking multiple acetaminophen-containing products, or check with a healthcare professional if they are unsure. *It's very bad for your liver to take Percocet on a regular basis for years.

Avatar f tn ve raised two wonderful children and have four terrific grandsons. Life has only been good for the last few years and even this is scarred by my husband and my pain and suffering. We try to enjoy life with a bit of gardening and caring for our dogs and kids. The compassion here is heartwarming. I thank you all for listening and hearing me. I hope I can help others here too.
Avatar f tn I only started taking percocet yesterday, after suffering for 4 days with severe pain. I had tried everything, NSAIDS, hot wet compresses, I went for massages 4 days in a row! I'm going to have to go back and get an MRI, but in the meantime, I need to take the percocets. I just don't know if I should continue taking the subs while I am on the percocet. I want off the subs really bad, but I only got 15 percs and I don't know how long it will take me to get another Dr appt.
1379587 tn?1279254017 However at 31 weeks they took me off the percocet and told me that my baby could be born with withdrawls if I didnt stop and taper off...so I did. My baby was healthy and 7lbs but he was born 1 month early..shortly after I stopped taking the percocet...so I dont know about your baby,...but mine was fine. The only way the baby can be addicted to the painpills is for you to take them RIGHT AT BIRTH or ten days before ...that is what I have been told anyways! GOOD LUCK ...
Avatar n tn I am 6 weeks pregnant and have kidney problems. The ER Doctor gave me Percocet and Promethazine and I can't remember if I can take them together.
Avatar n tn I am currently recovering from back surgery and am taking 2 Percocet 10mg every 8 hours per the directions. I ran out today and tomorrow is a holiday so I won't be able to get a script until Tuesday. I am not good at keeping track b/c the scripts are only for 15 days while most are for a month, but anyway. I have some 5mg vicodin - can I take those to get me through until I can fill the script for the Percocet? If so, how much should I take?
Avatar f tn I am also prescribed percocet and I get 150 pills a month and I take it in addition to extended release morphine for chronic back pain. On average, I take 25 mg of percocet daily and up to 30 mg a day along with 60 mg of morphine per day. I have never had a morning after headache from the percocet. The maximum dose of acetaminophen that can be taken daily is 4,000 mg. So with 325 mg in each pill, you took well under the maximum dose.
Avatar f tn about a month in a half ago i started taking percocet 30mg to relieve some pain that i was having. First it started with just half of one and that helped then slowly progessed into one and now im im taking 60mg a day... i'll go two days without them and then i just go crazy and feel like i need them immediatly.some days ill even take 90mg.
Avatar f tn But first and foremost talk to a doctor. Good luck to you and your children. Everyone here are great listeners and have great advice. Come here anytime you need someone to talk to.
Avatar f tn Welcome to the forum. And yes we all know what your going thru and are here to help and support you. Go up to the Health Pages and read the Thomad receipe, that should help you some. Also read the Amino Acids protocol and PAWS and everything else. Educateing yourself on this disease is one of the best weapons. You can do this, so stay strong and keep posting.
Avatar f tn Percocet can depress your respiratory system and Lorazepam is a sedative. They can be dangerous taken together because of the risk of OD. But if he has been taking them together for awhile and is under a doctors care he should be fine. I was hooked on Percocet and would take Lorazepam sometimes for panic attacks, never had a problem. I was also on anti-depressants. There is a risk. How much of each is he taking?
Avatar f tn My husband and i have recently decided to try and get pregnant and were both very excited however i had hip surgery a year ago and because of this i have extremely bad back pain and take percocet because of it, is it safe to take percocet while trying to conceive, and will it lessen my chances?
Avatar m tn I am a single mother w/ 3 children. I was first prescribed percocet when I was diagnosed w/ arthritis. I used as directed at first and then eventually, I was using more and more. I am at witts end and just want these pills out of my life. Monday, I decided "this is ... [More] it." So I had 6 pills left. I took 4 that day. And thought I could hang but by 9 PM I was feeling awful so I took one more. I had a rough nite but not too bad but by 5 AM OMG!
