percocet

Avatar f tn By the way. Percocet , and Vicodin are both a category C. "It is not known whether Percocet is harmful to an unborn baby, but it could cause breathing problems or addiction/withdrawal symptoms in a newborn. " Remember it's important to talk to your doctor if about the medications you're on. Good luck.
237152 tn?1206651036 Does anybody know if opiates, more specifically painkillers, can cause problems with the heart? I was addicted for 2 years and have been clean for over a month, but it seems like I get winded easily now, and my heart starts pounding at times with the slightest exercise.
Avatar n tn MY FRIEND IS TAKING PERCOCET 5 NOW BUT HAS BEEN TAKING A HIGHER DOSE AND NOW THESE FOR THE LAST 2 TO 3 YEAR AND NOW IS HAVING HEART PALPATATIONS AND IREGULAR HEART BEATING...COULD THIS DRUG BE CAUSING THIS?
Avatar m tn I have many medical issues that started at 16. I feel like I'm in the matrix the red pill or the blue pill. if I had known at 16 my life would consist of 37 medications in five shots a day I would've found a different path. My problem is someone stole my medicine I haven't had The morphine or the Percocet for a week and I am going through withdrawal. I have never gone through this before. My doctor cannot refill because of my insurance. But I have 12 days before I can have a refill.
1390687 tn?1281157239 and no withdrawals from the percocet/oxycodone... it all depends on the person and amount and how long the person has been using,.. 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.
686681 tn?1227305438 Before I would change PMP I would have a long heart to heart discussion with your current one. Be honest and forth coming. Apparently you have been satisfied with his treatment until now. I would ask him the rational for discontinuing your break through medication, Percocet. He may have a legitimate reason. Oxycontin and Percocet are actually the same medication. One is time released and the other is not. The Percocet also contains acetaminophen (Tylenol).
Avatar m tn ve been taking Percocet off and on for pain for about two weeks now. When I take it, I get really bad myoclonus jerks. Last night was the worst. My whole body convulsed and my arms flapped like a bird. Scary stuff, but when I don't take it, the pain in my back keeps waking me up.
Avatar m tn Yes I have back problems and a l/knee problems, My Dr gives me 4 ea a Day Percocet 10/325 how many in a 24 hour period can i take without it bothering me as far as too Much, Sometimes I go to bed Hurting so bad that I cant sleep very good at all. I only take them when I hurt but would it be safe to take another one at night to go to bed that would be 5 a Day spaced out over 24 hours, Thanks for yalls advise.
Avatar n tn I have been suffering with sudden increased heart rate and increased blood pressure at rest when doing nothing. Heart rate increases to 120 and bp 165/101. I feel dizzy when this happens and it effects my breathing. I don't know if this is connected to the chronic pain that I am in with dish condition. I am on strong pain killers tramadol 100mg x2 daily and pregabilin 200mg x2 daily. However I have crushing pain in chest, neck pain and shoulder pain and sudden increased heart rate.
Avatar m tn By the way, take some major pain meds like percocet and muscle relaxer and a motrin 800 combined. It wont kill you trust me, my doctor put me on flexiril, percocet, and motrin 800 and insisted I take them at the same time. It will ease the pain a lot a it will help with your uterus contracting. It also relaxes you and will help you sleep through it. Good Luck honey and sorry to hear that.
Avatar f tn I have read so may different sites and read everyones questions and responses with my similar problems. I am now 13 weeks pregnant and have been addicted to plls as well! I am to the point werei am trying to hide it from everyonr because they think i am trying to quite for the baby and i would sooooooooooooo love to but i cannot kick this bad habit i have formed! i take anywhere from 1-7 pills a day if i have them.
Avatar f tn I do believe that my digestion has been sped up, and I believe the Erythromycin sped up the Percocet in my body and essentially made it as if I overdosed. I tried talking to a pharmacist about this, but she said the Percocet would have stayed in my body for a longer period of time, not run through it faster. I don't believe this is the case, though, because after an hour and a half all of my pain was back again. My heart calmed, I stopped shaking, and I was in pain.
Avatar m tn Narcotics also would get my heart racing. I had to take Halcion, Tramadol, and antihistamines at the same time to make myself sleepy.
1176839 tn?1263755431 ve had excruciating pain that 10mg percocet just barely takes the edge off, and I can hold food down....or so I thought. I woke up in the middle of the night last night violently sick, and realized that some of the "mess" was actually food that I had eaten the day after I was discharged. I had a similar incident on the 8th that made me decide to go to the ER to begin with. I am very worried and my finacee is terrified. What is going on ???????
1548147 tn?1293815905 t helping one bit. He upped my Lyrica to 75mg twice a day now and I am still taking the percocet as well. I have looked online and my symptoms seem to be just like the ones listed as fibromyalgia symptoms so I am going to make an appointment with my regular doctor on Monday and see if she can maybe run some tests to see what can be found and ruled out and go from there. I am just worried that this is something I may have to get used to and it really scares me because it makes me miserable.
Avatar n tn And honestly percocet and dilaudid both carry the same risks (although really the biggest risk is the baby being born dependent and since you're only 14wks that's really not an issue unless you continue to have kidney stones throughout the pregnancy like I did with my firstborn). But truly pain medicine under the care of a doctor can be done quite safely. The bigger concern is your kidney function while you're.
1899626 tn?1363309951 One of the biggest problems with taking drugs like Percocet when you're pregnant is that that stuff is going to your baby too. It's not known whether Percocet causes permanent harm, but it has been linked to breathing problems and drug withdrawal symptoms in newborns. From what you said about the subutex, it sounds like you know that you have a problem.
Avatar n tn I have been taking percocet for my wrist I have bad tendonitist and I am addicted to them I try to get off of them and now my ears and head seem clogged and I have been getting dizzy and panic attacks when I try not taking them for a day I wake up feeling so bad and really tired and crappy I am gonna try to just take an aleve to take away alittle of the pain is there anything else I can do to help me out while I am trying to get off of them I don;t want anyone to know about this that is why I am
Avatar f tn I am so scared that I can harm my baby. I tried to stop cold turkey and had WD, cold and hot sweats and shaking. I have an app set up with my doctor in two weeks and I plan on telling her everything. I also did some research on this and was petrified with some of the results. I do not want to harm my baby, I only want what is best for him/her. If anyone can give me some advice as to what I should do it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and consideration.
1535595 tn?1317990033 I didn't see that post so I can't be much help. However, talk with you OB GYN about the percocet and your pharmacist.
Avatar f tn Lastly, the one thing you do want to be careful with is mixing alcohol with the percocet as the acetaminophen combined with alcohol can cause severe liver problems and even liver failure if the two are mixed on a regular basis. I hope your headache gets better soon.
1565432 tn?1295252598 You can take it safely and in fact pain will cause stress and many other related problems which are harmful for the baby. I have a disease and was on much stronger narcotics for my whole pregnancy - I have a healthy happy 4 year old and 2 month old. Don't worry!
Avatar n tn Okay so my friend has been giving me percocet this past month maybe 2 months, and I had my period at the end of may but it only lasted 2-3 days. And ever since then I haven't had my period. I'm really worried. I know for a fact I am not pregnant. Its been maybe a week or two since I've had a perc. What do I do? I've stopped taking percocet, should my period come back? Or no? Is this something serious? What should I do?
Avatar n tn can i take 2 advils and half a percocet for dental pain?
1279189 tn?1275244868 I was on the Norco 10/325 but had become immune to the Hydrocodone after being on it since 2003 and so they switched me to Percocet 10/325 (Oxycodone) but I just take a 1/2 pill (the equivalent of a 5/325 Percocet) every 8 hours or as needed. I cantake 1 full Percocet but I don't need it. Usually I will only take 1 a day maybe 2 when I have the BT pain. My goal is to not have to take so many pills because I take a total of 16 pills a day for OTHER med. problems (heart, BP, cholesterol, etc.
731137 tn?1231482514 One who is looking for recreational drugs need not post, but if your in pain and need assistance then please post your question better. Alot of newcomers will list what problems they are having and then ask where to go from there. If we do not know if your in pain or just simply looking for drugs then we can't effectively help you.
Avatar f tn I'm on Percocet and something with caffeine in it. I had some heart issues at the hospital, but not this bad.
