Common Questions and Answers about Percocet drug class

percocet

Avatar f tn Percocet (aka) oxycodone is actually class B and is the ONLY pain meds that have not show and birth defects...while every other single one has...isnt that weird?? Even hydrocodone and codine which arent as strong are class C and have shown to be harmful...bizzare!!
Avatar f tn I agree with Flickan. When taking percocet your body stops producing the natural drug to relieve pain, hense why so many people have issues coming off of it. I would see if you can get some type of physical therapy or nerve blocking medication.. something or anything that would have less affect. Actupuncture? I'm not sure what the options really are but Class B doesn't mean it's safe for pregnancy -- that would be a Class A drug.
Avatar n tn yes, percocet is a class 2 narcotic and vicodin is a class 3. Percocet is an oxycodone with tylenol, and vicodin is a hydrocodone with tylenol. If ever you need a refill you can't have a doctor call in a class 2. Both are addictive equally...
874521 tn?1424116797 when I go to the drug interaction/pill identifier checker I cannot access the medication oxycodone. its not on the drop down list and when I type it in at top of column it says 'no such drug' I have tried under the name oxycodone and also oxycontin. can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here?
Avatar f tn I have NEVER used amphetamines, Percocet was my drug of choice. I am also taking wellbutrin, robitussin, vicks inhaler, and vistaril. I researched and found that the wellbutrin can cause a false positive as well as the robitussn and vicks. My dr flat refused a refill and now I'm terrified I will withdrawal and put this baby in jeopardy. He sent off for a more thorough drug screen but told me it would be 3 days.
Avatar n tn Xanax is a Class D drug which means it has been shown that it can have an adverse effect on developing baby - you really need to do a risk-benefit analysis but typically, any Class D medication should be avoided during pregnancy. Ask your doctor about Vistaril - this is a much safer drug that can help w/ anxiety/panic/sleeplessness during pregnancy and would be preferable to Xanax. There are also antidepressants that might be useful to help with some of your symptoms during pregnancy.
Avatar f tn If I took one. 5 mg. percocet on 9/8 and did a drug screening at work on 9/21 and it came back positive is this possible? I also did another instant urine on 9/23 and that came back negative. Can the drug company be wrong? Which results are right. Also took Ibeprophen 500 & amoxacillan on 9/11. Someone please give me some good news my job of 18 yrs. depends on it.
Avatar f tn will it show up if being tested for opioids or just synthetic opioids? i came up positive on a drug screen for oxymorphone and i was perscribed to percocet.. can u please explain?
203003 tn?1210855907 It delivers a certain amt of drug at a constant rate. the percocet is oxycodone w/acetominophen (tylenol). It is designed to deliver a certain amt of drug all at once. So while they are both the same drug, they are delivered a bit different. If you take them for a headache, chances are once it wears off the h/a will return and be worse. I'd suggest a quiet, dark room; an ice pack, some ibuprofen, and time.
Avatar f tn pain associated with lupus. I did something really stupid and took a Percocet a few days before going to pain clinic appointment, of course I failed the test, first time ever happened. Nurse said tests showed up for hydrocodone. I have a prescription for from a dentist. I wasn't suppose to get filled a year ago but nurse said don't do again. She asked me if it helped. I panicked & told nurse I took the hydrocodone but I really took Percocet. The clinic sent off for testing.
Avatar n tn Hello Lass,First off is this just routine,or is their some reason of diversion like due you work as a nurse ,and if so,are they checking only you or are you on a Methadone program and all they want to know is there any hydrocodone in yopur system to bebin with,as same not so bright addicts say that they are on this and that and when they run a urine screen,nothing shows up,even the drug that they say is their drug of choice.
Avatar n tn I am withdrawing from Percocet 10/325mg. I have been taking them for 8 almost 9 months started at 4 a day and just recently got it down to two a day. Because I have no Insurance and cannot afford another bill after my back surgery. I am scared and feel worse than I ever have in my life. 2 days only and I do not know where to turn I know I do not want Percocet agian ever. How long does this last and please do not tell me weeks..... I do not think I can handle weeks of this.
Avatar n tn Subutex has keep me clean. Sanax is very bad, it is a Class D and can casue harm to you child, PErcocet is a Class C, consider safe, but can cause problems. I am not sure about the marajaua. How far are you and how long have you been doing these drugs??
Avatar f tn Pregnancy Category C Animal reproductive studies have not been conducted with PERCOCET. It is also not known whether PERCOCET can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproductive capacity. PERCOCET should not be given to a pregnant woman unless in the judgment of the physician, the potential benefits outweigh the possible hazards. Nonteratogenic Effects Opioids can cross the placental barrier and have the potential to cause neonatal respiratory depression.
1935227 tn?1323536078 Mostly prescription opiates. I got off those but took up a stimulant drug, Nuvigil. (I have major depression, no energy, feel lethargic and apathetic, so it was easy to get my dr. to prescribe stimulants.)I'd gotten off this drug but now, six weeks later, was still extremely lethargic and apathetic. Today I got desperate to feel at least decent and relapsed. I only took 2/3 pill but there are more available for tomorrow. I don't really want to do this.
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 f tn The PA then proceeds to tell me that they can no longer see me as my drug test came back negative. I take my prescription on a regular basis. I have been on an antibiotic now for 2 months and mentioned that and they did not care. I have been hospitalized twice in the last 3 months with an infection in my finger. I do not know what to do, how will I get a new Dr with a negative test result. I have had two coccygectomys and have been left in horrible pain.
Avatar f tn t think much about because i know i only take the medication he gives me which are hydrocodone10 and gabapentin and tizanidine well when he came back in the room he ask me when I took my last pain pill and if I had been taking percocet and trading my pills for them. I told him no he said well your drug test came back positive for percocet and no hydrocodone in your urine. He said he was sending off and results would be back in a week.
Avatar f tn s going on in your head. The constant thinking about the drug will go away, but it takes time. So find things you can do to distract yourself. You may have to go so far as to say "i'll distract myself for 5 min" and then increase the time intervals. But talking about what is going on really does help. You're not alone in this.
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 Percocet is a class C drug and it's not known whether it causes birth defects or not. I don't know too much about lortabs. I think it's harmful in large doses and it has codeine in it I believe. You never want to take anything without talking to your doctor first. That's what they're there for. Talk to them before you take anything.
1271743 tn?1320892461 Everyone reacts differently to different medicines. The only difference between Combunox and percocet is the added ingredient. Percocet has acetaminophen and the Combunox has ibuprofen. It just depends on what works best for you and you will have to try each one to see how it would work for you. Percocet comes in various strength's and to my understanding the combunox only comes in one which is 400mg ibuprophen/ 5 mg oxycodone.
Avatar f tn Hi Has anyone successfully tapered off percocet? or is it too strong of a drug to taper down with?
10363722 tn?1409603189 I borrowed one of her percoset that are 10 milligrams. I went to the doctor a couple days later and had to do a random urine drug screening. I am scared to death now. What happens if that percocet shows up? Will they totally take me off of all my pain meds? Are they likely to give me a second chance?this is not a typical thing that I do. I really need to be on my pain meds as I work two jobs and I'm on my feet all the time.any insight on this would be appreciated.
478811 tn?1208474960 Percocet is oxycodone and tylenol #3 is codeine, a weaker narctoic but is also habit forming,,,,always look at your tylenol content as you could inadvertantly take more as it is not quite as strong....
Avatar n tn All 3 meds mentioned are class C drugs, which means none have been tested on pregnant women, but have shown to cause defomities or problems in laboratory animals. I would strongly think twice about getting pregnant while being on all of these meds. Ask yourself if the benefits out weigh the risks.
