148588 tn?1465778809 For example, Gilead’s own Stribild, a costly new four-in-one combo treatment for HIV/AIDS, is $80 per pill. At $1,000 per pill, Sovaldi costs 1,100% more than Stribild, the most-expensive AIDS combo drug on the market. In addition, Gilead is charging a higher price for this drug even though the cost to produce it is small. According to industry reports, Gilead produces Sovaldi for approximately $1.00 per gram (with only 10 to 30 grams needed to successfully treat patients with Hepatitis C).
Avatar n tn switching from percocet 30 mg a day to morphine sulphate er 15mg every 12.
Avatar f tn Everything is relative-- but yes, that is a large dose. Consider that Percocet tablets-- medications used to treat surgical pain in dose ranges of 1-2 every 4 hours-- contain 5-10 mg of oxycodone. You are taking the equivalent of 70 of the 5 mg tabs every day, when the dose after major surgery would be on the order of 5-10 tablets per day. The largest dose I've seen in a patient addicted to oxycodone is about 700 mg per day.
Avatar m tn i have been takeing percocet for 2 years for back pain when it started it was 1 10 mg pill every 6 hrs. i now take 360 or more per mo.my doctor gives me 160 per mo.
Avatar m tn Recently, my doctor started prescribing Percocet 10/325 at 2 pills in the evening. I never took the 2 pills of Percocet, I would take 1 1/2 per dose. So, total I was taking 60mg of Norcos and 15mg of Percocet per day. I know I have a dependency due to the fact that I would painfully watch the clock for the 4 hour mark. I have been sober from meth and alcohol for 5 years now and know how to diagnose an addiction. No question on wether or not I have a dependency.
Avatar f tn , max 3 per day (disc. issue that has improved recently) , decided to quit and took my last pill on Sunday night...its been pretty rough yesterday and today. I never thought that I would be physically addicted with what I thought was low dosage. My question is do you think I should taper (down to 1 per day for a week, then down to 1/2 per day for a week) or should I ride it out. I'm definitely out of the game one way or another, any thoughts are welcome. Thanks.
Avatar m tn I have been on the smallest dosage pill (oxecodone) for over 3 years now for arthritis in my feet. Currently I get 100 every other month or so. The Dr says he has patients that take as many as 6 per day. I have taken 8 in a day but I can go days without any if I stay off my feet and have no withdrawal. Am I addicted? I am afraid of them but my feet hurt so bad.
961894 tn?1247076478 Lots of useful info there to help ease it a bit... You could also try tapering down to 1 pill per day for a few weeks, then take half per day... the lower dosage you quit from, the milder the w/drawal will be. I wish you lots of luck!
Avatar m tn I saw this yesterday, printed it out and have read it several times. And I'll probably have to read it several more before I can completely wrap my head around it. The good news, as I see it, is the clarity it brings to the subject of actual cost of new medications to payers. "The $1000 dollar pill" or the "$1125 pill" has gotten so much play in the media. (Doctors aren't immune to this nor are many who work in the insurance industry.
Avatar m tn Without having insurance, it sure was VERY expensive from paying for the doctor visit each month to paying 11$ per pill. But that cost was nothing for getting my life back and getting the chase, the counting, the paranoia, the stealing, the lying, allll of that out of my life. So after I've written a novel, what I'd like to tell you is that it isn't for everyone. But it is a life saver for some of us. I hope you make the decision best for you and I wish you luck.
1080427 tn?1256072953 I started taking percocet in june of 09 for a hernia sx i had, I have been taking them ever since basically for fun, the energy and the happiness. I want to quit cold turkey i want NOTHING more to do with percocet. Today is my first day not takin anything. On any given day i was taking 3 or 4 of them... Today i have the chills, I feel like I have a fever, jittery,and lots of anxiety.... How long does this usually last and is there ANYTHING at all to help even feel a little better???
Avatar m tn m fortunate that supply is not an issue (not at 4 per day anyway) Supply of percocet would quickly become an issue though! (even at only one per day) Hmmmm thx again.
1887358 tn?1320931131 Ok well a little about me, I'm brand new to this site and I'm hoping this site is different from some I have found that seem to be full of addicts and pushers and not legitimate people with documented chronic pain that really need pain meds. I have severe loer back pain and neck pain and have several xrays and am currently waiting for my ins. to approve a mri.
Avatar f tn I have been taking 30 to 40 percocet per day plus fent patch. My pm doctor just dropped me. I have an appointment with a sub Doc on Thursday. Will it help me? I am out of control. I do have chronic pain issues, but have been taking meds for emotional relief too. The 1st appointment will cost 350 and I am skeptical. Please tell me if it will help me .
Avatar f tn Sorry I don't have Kaiser health insurance, maybe someone else here does, but those prices sound about right. Those are your "co-pay costs", the "actual cost" is thousands of dollars per month as you have heard. I had Blue Cross of California during treatment and my co-pay cost were similar to the prices you quoted.
Avatar m tn I quickly realized that I went from being a weekend warrior to a daily user, taking an average of 60mg per day for almost a straight month. 4 days ago I decided that I got myself in this mess and had to get out so I stopped using cold turkey. I can not begin to describe what the withdraws feel like. I have been clean for the last 4 days and thanks to smoking a little herb here and there have been able to get over some of the side effects.
Avatar f tn i suffer from lower back 2 herniated discs and 3 discs that are collapsing,i am curently on 200 mgs of ms-contyn 2 times per day,and 150 10/325 percs per month,i find after 4 years of being on them they have no effect on me,i have been know to abbuse them,i know when i was on a high intake of 200 mgs pure morphine per day and 120 mgs oxycodone per day my dose was cut in half i had diareha and vomit from the withdrawals,everyone is different,if you slowly cut back on your meds and hold off on tak
Avatar m tn I have been taking Percocet for 9 months now. At most 4 5/325s per day. For the past month I have been cutting down. At noon today makes 24 hours with none. Right now my legs feel like they want to jump all over the house. I also feel like my skin is crawling. I do have legitimate pain issues from surgical adhesions, fibromyalgia and nerve damage. I am trying to manage that pain with over the counter meds, vitamins, and SNRIs now. I don't have anyone I can turn to for help.
478811 tn?1208474960 You sound a lot like me. Doing it for the pain and able to cut the dosage down w/o too much problem. For me, I still need it for the pain and RLS. I'm currently taking 1 pill per day in 1/2 dosages. To answer your question about keeping it around the house. I think if you seriously are using it for pain management and none of the over the counter stuff seems to work for you then keeping some around the house is ok.
Avatar n tn I just started suboxone wednesday ( i know alot of people on the forums disagree with using it) but I was taking about 15/20 pills a day ranging from oxycontin,percocet,tramadol,and hydrocodone..The Suboxone has been a LIFE SAVER so far..Im not worried about withdrawal and detoxing right now because I feel that if I can go a year or so without taking my DOC then the withdrawal will be worth it b/c if i can go that long without DOC then i should be pretty well recovered..
Avatar f tn I, of all people, cannot believe I let this happen to myself. How long are withdrawals using 1/2 - 2 per day for 3 years. ANYONE??
230262 tn?1316645934 is paying attention because after all they are being attentive to your pain.. Instead of paying the cost of finding the root of the problem and fixing it. Then it gets swept under the rug. Its cheaper to pacify then it is to investigate...
779797 tn?1263618235 Just a quick overview. I had been on percocet for about 2 years, not an abusive type but i needed them for serveral reasons. Chronic neck and back pain, as well as stomach pain. ( my digestive system would hate anything i put into my stomach, race through a 'digestion' and what it to quickly exit my body) and the percs slowed down my mobility to a point where I could eat comfortably. About 5 weeks ago, I was taking Lyrica and percocet.
Avatar f tn I have only been taking percocet for less than 3 wks now, (had an Acl repair on my knee) and by wk 2 I was on 3 percs a day, then when I dropped down to 2 thats when the horrible withdrawals came. I would get horrible stomach cramping, diarreah, and sweats for about 5hrs or untill my next dose. Then I realized i was in fact having withdrawls and started breaking up the pills through out the day, and I have enough pills left to drop 1/4 pill every 2 days.
