Common Questions and Answers about Percocet and seizures

percocet

I was prescribed Percocet and I received the generic brand Oxycodone W/APAP 5/325 Two weeks later i had a kidney stone and was prescribed Percocet again. This time the generic name was Endocet 7.5/500 Why was it Oxycodone one time and Endocet the next time.

Hi, I am running out of my percocet script early, is it ok to take tramadol in between to try and extend the few percocets I have? I cannot do withdrawel right now. I need something to stretch the Percocets out for about 5 days until my next script is ready. I use my meds for pain, but I ALWAYS run out about 4 days early. I am currently not using tramadol, but I have some, will they be an ok substitute for a week or so? Or will I still get W/D? Thank you, and God Bless Us all!

Hi I started taking percocet when I had all four of my wisdom teeth pulled.I didn't care for the drug at first but it helped.I only had about 15 of the 512 at the time so I only took one or two at a time.Of course I liked the buzz but when they were gone,I didn't care..

If you use to much for to long, you'll get hooked on that and you cannot, under any circumstances go cold turkey with a benzo due to seizures and death. So if you use the xanax, use it spareingly and not for a long time, a week to 10 days. Be careful with that stuff, it can be a nightmare.

This is a benzo and should be tappered from very slowly, due to the possiblity of seizures and stroke. How long have you been on the xanax? As far as the other stuff, look into the Health pages for the Thomas receipe, that will help alittle. There is no magic cure for withdrawels except time. Please respond back about the xanax. Going cold turkey from this can be extremely dangerous.

If your baby goes through the pregnancy exposed to the Percocet it will most likely have to withdrawal from it when it is born... is the doctor that is prescribing you the medicine your OB or your family medicine doc? Primary docs treat the patient- OB docs treat the pt AND the baby- so most OB's would recommend you taper off the medicine for the baby's sake.

I,ve been taking Percocet for about two yrs now, I originally started taking 3 10mg per day, My tolerance of course went up little by little.

I did not for the first two and lived on percocet in order to just get out of bed. I started the new job and lived on percocet to make it through the day any where from 5-10 pills of perc 10/day. Finally on 4/7/06 I got over the sciatica for about 2 hours. I then slipped in the kitchen of my house and did the splits; I felt things ripping in the groin area and hurt real bad. Had enough perc to get me through weekend.

you said you took one percocet. If you really want to succeed in this now, whatever percocet you have laying around THROW DOWN THE TOILET. I took like 20 ultram after I took that one ultram and threw it all down the toilet. Boy did I feel REAL good about that. I felt powerful. And then I went above and beyond and made it so I have no way to turn back. All my connections to opiates are gone. Impossible to get.

hi there! i think I have you beat on your monthly total of 240 tram, I've been taking 180 a week for over a year now! BUT, I don't take anything else. i am just starting my "taper", I also started having seizures, at first they were just "falls", but progressed to full-on seizures. Last seizure was in June, and of course I'm just now bringing myself (and wanting) to quit.

Every time I try to get off these sukers, my body feels like it's on fire and the cravings are absolutely horrible. The fire feeling is pretty scary and I'm wondering if I can get seizures during these withdrawals. I was on my 7th day the other week and I blew it. I couldn't stand the "fire" pain anymore, so I went to a friend for "help".

My doctor just gave me Percocet and said it was safe but I am scared to death to take it. I have a 2 1/2 year old and it is hard to take care of her with these headaches..I need some relief but is this medicine going to hurt my baby? Should I take it or suffer? I don't know what to do. Any suggestions please let me know!!!

Normally you won't have seizures weening off of percocet but it can be possible with xanax if not tapered properly. It's good you are under the care of a doctor while doing all of this as it's always safer. Make sure you are careful with the xanax since you were once addicted to it. It's all too easy for it to get out of control again and also easy to swap one substance for another. Be sure to stick around the forum. There are some wonderful people here who will give you the support you need.

whatever you do, do not quit cold turkey. that can cause fetal seizures or miscarriage. I wasn't taking percocet throughout my whole pregnancy...with my daughter, it was tylenol #3 (codeine) regularly and once in awhile when I was hospitalized, it was dilaudid and morphine, but that was only a few brief times in the hospital. with my son I started out taking tylenol #3 but had to step up to Lortab 10mg 4x a day...and ended up on Percocet 10/325 about 4x a day as well.

On top of all that, my birthday comes around and my grandmother passed away on the same day. Since then, I have been taking percocets again to deal with everything. I am out of that relationship, have been for almost a year now, January will be 1 year that I am away from that situation. But January will also be 1 full year of 60-90 mgs a day of percocets for me. I just got laid off and cannot afford my habit any longer.

I am out of my meds (10/325 Percocets) and do not get my refill till the end of this month...I will continue taking these as my doctor prescribed and PRAY TO God That it will get me thru my withdrawals... any advice on this or if someone has tried it and It DID work Please Let me know....

I am a 25 year old with 2 children 1 and 3 yrs old. In April of 2010 I experienced a Seizure. Shortly after I began experiencing debilitating fatigue, short end I went through extensive testing and found nothing except for sub clinical hypothyroidism that was helped minimally by treatment and vitamin deficiencies again which were treated but did not help my fatigue. about 10 mo. ago I started experiencing crushing and severe pain in my lower back and hips.

i was geting percocets from my family doctor and my pain management doctor,well i went to my family doctor today and he told me he couldnt give me percocets no more because i was getting them from another doctor,so he cut me off and told me to get them from my pain management doctor, well i have appointment with her next week, will she know that i got cut off from my family doctor,i was using my insurance with my family doctor and cash for my pain management doctor, and using 2 different pharmac

well i started having a problem with the patches sticking to my skin, and before i could get the manufacturer to send me covers, my doc took me off saying that if they weren't sticking there was no point in continuing them, he then switched me to percocet which i had good results with in the past.

Seizuresfor about 3 years, but this isn't about the seizures.

I am new to this forum but I am trying to quit taking tramadol last week it caused me to have a seizure at work. Needless to say ppl are gossiping and saying I am a drug addict and my family is scared to death. I am currently tapering on my own 8, 7, currently at 6 pills per day. I hope I can do this I am so upset and embarrassed that I let it get this far. I have everything to look forward to I am getting married soon and have a lovely little girl.

Hello everyone I just wanted to let let everyne know I had a very serious seizure about 2 weeks ago the doctors have no clue where it came from but I stopped taking Percs and they gave me Trams and then I stopped those and then had the seizure so In my honest opinion that is what is was from but we are still doing test so I'll keep you posted but once again be very careful when taking tramadol and I was only taking 2-4 per day.

We've tried both but had little success releiving her pain. We tried a percocet and that seemed to help. Is it okay for her to keep taking percocet occasionally?

I am pretty sure you will have no real danger getting off percocets unless you have minimized how much you are taking. What dosage are they?? I am sure others will chime in as well.

I have been taking on average 8mg of ativan for anxiety in last 2 years and 4 percocets for pain in last 4 months. I feel terrible and i want to stop. I do not know how and most of my cold turkey atempts failed, one even ended with a seizure. Please help.

I want so bad to find out more about the poppy seed where the drug derivatives come from for the narcotic drugs vicodin, codeine, percocet etc. What I want to know are two things. One, what are the benefits of this plant beside temporary relief of pain.. everyone knows that. I'm asking what benefits are there for example the positive benefits. I'm sure there are some when the poppy seed is taken moderately. Yeah yeah we all know the addictive quality of narcotics..

I am currently 37 weeks pregnant and had been taking percocet before I found out. From month 1-4 of my pregnancy I didn't take any pills. Unfortunately, I relapsed and slowly started using from the middle of my 4th month to now (37 weeks). I have stopped a couple of times, but have had issues because of withdrawal fears ECT... I am so scared. I love my baby and have been lucky enough to have the growth and tests be all healthy up to this date.

, opiate cold turkey is safe for most people - especially if you were not taking high doses for a long period of time (always best to check with your doctor first). I DID have seizures from opiate (tramadol) use, but it was because I took TOO MANY of them, not when I quit taking them. And I did do it c/t; simply because I could NOT taper. I tried, but if the pills were around I would take them.

Ok anyone have kids that have seizures?? are they related to Chiari? My daughter had what i almost swear was a stroke today. nothing but her face and arms. her left side was drooping and right side was twitching and she was drooling everywhere and she couldn't talk she was mumbling and crying and then slurring her words as her lips got better... i just wonder what to do. we went to the er and said it was a seizure and to get in with pediatrician.
