Common Questions and Answers about Percocet dosage forms

percocet

Avatar n tn Heart palpatations and irregular heart beats are a serious side effect of the medication. Since your friend has been taking percocet for years, he/she is addicted to the medication. When the medication starts to wear off, he/she is experiencing a withdrawal which can cause heart palpatations and irregular heart beats due to anxiety. Here's a list of side effects and severity: http://www.webmd.com/drugs/drug-7277-Percocet+Oral.aspx?
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 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 n tn Hi,I read about people on 180mg or 200mg of pills. I take 8 7.5/325 of Percocet, can anyone tell me how many mg I am on?
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?
478811 tn?1208474960 I had major back surgery, a four level fusion, in october 2006. I was given percocet after the surgery, and was told to go to a special pain management place, where i went for over 7 months. because I was active 4 weeks after the surgery, and started to run around and take care of my kids and get back to my very busy life style, I never had real time to relax, and just "chill out". I stopped going to therapy in july, last year, put I continued to need the pain meds.
Avatar n tn does anyone know recommended dosage for Watson 749 (Percocet), how often you are supposed to take it?
Avatar m tn Today I was offered the lower dosage 5mg/325 pills. I am curious since it is such a lower dosage if I can take one at night to try and sleep until I cant completely ween myself off of the drugs. This has been the hardest struggle of my life thus far and I know with mind over matter I can make it but I'd still like to take these few low dosage percs to try and help ween myself off easier and help the withdrawls.
Avatar m tn I am not sure if this caused by the new dosage of Percocet, or if it has to do with the weight I have gained due to my injury perhaps.... But I started doing some research and read everywhere that Klonopin and Percocet are a dangerous mix. I have never experienced any issues before (but I do not watch myself sleep), and I did not experience any issues on Tuesday night......only last night.
Avatar m tn m on a program. If he does, will Percocet even work? What would be a good dosage for me? Can anyone help me here? I truly appreciate your time. Thanks a bunch!
1535595 tn?1317990033 Thanks everyone :) my OB knows that I'm on percocet but I hate it when he says 'baby may be a little dependent, no big deal' cause it is a big deal to me! I'm actually working on lowering my dosage from 4-6 10mg to 4-6 5mg and I want to keep lowering my dosage! It's hard cause in dying here but I've rather be in pain than have my baby suffer from withdrawals!
Avatar m tn Hello ScaryO, Welcome to the Pain Mangement Forum. I am sorry that your pain meds are no longer effective for you. many of us face that fact after years of one medication. I assume that you know that Darvon is available without acetaminophen. I don't know what dosage you are on but if it is a small dose simply requesting a higher dose without the added ingredient of acetaminophen may be a good choice. I think we all would agree that Darvon is one of the weaker narcotics available.
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.
1887358 tn?1320931131 I have tried the chiropractor route and that just made things so much more worse that I know had to have these xrays done to see what is the real problem. My family doc prescribes me Percocet 10/650mg 3 times a day but these don't seem to last more then 2-3 hours per pill and she won't increase my dosage becasue she says she is not a pain mgmt doctor. Don't get me wrong, I love my doctor and will continue to see her for family issues but I guess I need to find a pain doctor.
Avatar m tn I had my Percocet RX filled on the 10th of this month in West Virginia, where I have just moved. How soon can I get another Percocet RX filled? In my last state there was a three day rul. So I could get the RX filled on the 7th! It's been a bad month and I'm going to need it sooner than the 10th, so what's the guideline or rule in West Virginia?
Avatar m tn I have been taking Percocet 5/325 then after the last mri finding 4 disc blown and pinched nerves doc increased to 10/325 I was fine with the 5 but taking the 10/325 I itch like &*(%^^# I was advised to take benedryl am I allergic?
600857 tn?1230057770 m in pain, taking pain meds(percocet,ibuprofen and nuerontin) could the increase be causing this, or the abscense of Valium? I'm taking my meds every 6-8 hrs and I can't sleep.
Avatar n tn Dr switched me from 20mg percocet to hydromorphone 10 mg what is difference
Avatar n tn The problem is, that I am in severe pain and my dosage needs to be increased but I am afraid to ask for an increase in dosage because he may just shut me off. What are my rights and my doctor's resposibilities?
Avatar f tn 30mg of Morphine is small dosage anyway so I think either doctor increase dosage OR switch to stronger opiates for breakthrough. You did not mention what milligrams it is for percocet? OR you choose to cut it down. Whichever you and doctor may decide what it would be best for you.
Avatar f tn Last minute my nurse practitioner at my dosage for Percocet 7 to Percocet tens I had an obstruction in my small intestines when I go back into this morning to my doctor they cut me loose and said that they had to let me go because they did a mouth swab drug test on me last month for cocaine in my system it's a lie I don't do cocaine I would never touch cocaine what can I do about this
Avatar f tn Ok.......many years ago I had an Oxy addiction. Successfully came off with methadone and successfully tapered off methadone as well and had been clean for around 10 years. Fast forward to about 3 weeks ago. I had pretty major surgery and was prescribed Percocet 7.5/325 (60). In about 3 weeks I've been through 210 7.5s. I'd take more than recommend dosage for the first few days of the script and then taper myself down to about 4 a day. I'd refill and do the same again.
Avatar n tn It is common to wake up with nausea during opiate withdrawal. However, you say you want to get off of percocet too. I'm assuming that you are still taking percocet, are you taking through a doctor as prescriped or off the streets, big difference. And how many are you taking a day??? I know when i was addicted to hydro's and percs my withdrawal would start about 4-6 hours after my last dosage.
Avatar n tn Ok, now that I think about it, I am depressed not happy on percocet. I remember a log time ago being on vicodan, I had energy was "happy" ect. Then I was switched to percocet, and now I am just sick feeling. My feet get numb, and feel like cement, and are very sensitive. At higher doses my legs ache.. I feel depressed and very tired. I just sit and do nothing. My hair seems like it is thinning? My skin looks like hell. I am on about 70mg a day. Has anyone else had weird side effects?
Avatar f tn I have previously been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, a fractured spine, curvature reversal, buldging disks, pinched nerves, carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, migraines, and high uric acid. They originally prescribed me percocet 7.5mg limit 6 a day, nuerontin 600mg tid, and esgic plus 50-500-40mg however my insurance stopped covering the percocet 7.5mg and so they had to prescribe me the 5/325!
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.
