Common Questions and Answers about Percocet long term side effects

percocet

#2 I dont have too many side effects that I can identify, maybe more constipated, but I offset that with herbal stuff. I was reading someone elses comment that they had no sex drive and I did not realize that was related. But I have no need for that in my life right now. Mostly I take it for energy at this time. I can't barely get up sometimes and it makes a real difference. I realize this is not a good plan.

I am affraid I will stop breathing in the middle of the night or that it will build up in my liver and cause me problems. He said I may be on it long term and I dont know if that is a safe drug to take daily. I was told to take them but I am still scared.

I have been addicted to prescription medications for about 2 years. I have a question about a possible long term or side effect of taking hydrocodone/apap and/or asenlix (amphetamine). I have never had a problem with my complexion before I started to abuse drugs. Over the past 4-5 months, my complexion has gotten progressively worse. I don't know if it's acne or some other dermatological condition.

HEY EVERYBODY How come no-one's talking about "LONG TERM EFFECTS" and how it AFFECTS you? (lol) THIS FORUM SAYS "LONG TERM EFFECTS" at the top. I wanna talk about long term effects, but it seems like everyone who succesfuly stops, ALSO STOPS COMING TO THIS WEB SITE! I'm guessing that this is the case because this "long term" forum seems to be full of people that are talking about being on their 3rd to 30th day of detox.

The doctors do not know if these symptoms will be re-occurring, and what the long term effects are going to be. i am trying to find out what I can do, and can be expected in the future. What are the chances of beating this????

Blurred vision is a side effect of vicoden and percocets. Hope this helps.

I am starting to see the sudden outburst of anger. Especially if I say anything about the pills. Can anybody tell me what the long term effects are going to be for him and how I can get him to see that the pills are not really giving him energy and how bad they are for him?

I was wondering if it was a possibility that it could be another long term adverse effect of the Adderall? They have become very nervous and fidgety, neither were before taking this medication. My step-son has the most severe sypmtoms.

I just wondered, is there no way of relieving long term pain without becoming addicted to the painkillers? How do you cope when pain is severe?

Try Ultram,(Tramodol) it's a synthetic narcotic like drug but not on the narcotic control list and it does not produce those irritating side effects that codiene and percocet does. For me it actually kills the pain better too. Your general practioner will be much happier if you ask for that then for the supposed stronger stuff! Oh. it does have some mood elevating effects too so it is somewhat addicting.

For the first month I thought they were brilliant but then my body quickly needed more and more to stop breakthrough pain and then the other side effects set in. I am trying to go off them cold turkey at moment and it is HELL. I realise everyone has different tolerance to drugs so it will be different for everyone. The scariest things for me are the mental state it brings on from being in a trance to being so depressed you want to kill yourself.

Also~ Ambien has a rebound effect as well, it's in the side effects warning. Ambien isn't meant to be used everynight long term so you may notice that it takes a while for you to be able to sleep because when your used to ambien its as if your brain is expecting you to take the pill and then it to go to sleep with no real winding down period that most ppl require to fall asleep.

I have a situation. A pregnant woman was given percocet for pain and the full term baby died in uteral. The baby's skin was peeled off. Does anyone know if this could have been a side effect or allergic reaction of the percocet? The baby is my grand baby.

I am concerned that women reading this blog may be lulled into a false sense of security. For those who are contemplating using percocet during labor, it may cause your baby respiratory problems (read the label)...and the effects of use during pregnancy and breastfeeding are "unknown." I am a juvenile attorney and have represented the children of mothers who used drugs (legal and illegal) during pregnancy.

In actually, Xanax has bad withdrawal effects as well. In layman's terms, xanax helps the brain fire through the nuerotransmitters a certain way...by stopping the use of the med., that 'spark' the med creates for the brain is missing, therefore many complications may occur. Not too familiar w/ them, but I witnessed a friend seizure from not having his xanax, which is a possible side effect of this med. NOT trying to scare you, just inform.

Thanks and that is what I thought, the effects don't last as long, as taking the pills, just as cocaine it is instant gratification that wears off quick. So why??????? Believe me she has a script for enough to last most people a life time.................. why snort then???? I know tolerance grows over time and what one pill would do to someone 6 months ago may take 9 now.......................... I just don't know what to think at this point.

Hey all! I'm a 24 year old female who has been on percocets off and on for about 2 years. More on than off. I've only been able to stop twice. The first time I went through withdrawals, was tough for 2 days then the 3rd day was significantly better. At that time though I was only taking about 3-4 Perks a day. Stupidly, I started back on them again a few months later and have been on them for about 9 months. To where I stopped again.

Ambien is generally meant for short term use. Lunesta can be used long term. Rozerem is another good sleep aide and specifically better than either of those two because it being derived from melatonin adjusts the sleep cycle. Anti-depressents can sometimes set off mania in a person with bipolar so I'd be concerned that's what might be going on but they are sometimes needed. Seroquel has a mood stabilization effect in addition to being an antipsychotic so that would stabilize things in that area.

I have been taking the subject drug for nine months following multiple fractures resulting in class III trauma and a hosptial admission in critical condition. I am now in the midst of weaning myself off this drug. I have developed a full feeling - when I swallow - in the area just at the bottom of the thyroid. I have no trouble swallowing, I just experience the fullness.

DRINK 3 SHOTS OF THAT A DAY DURING DETOX..... THIS ONLY LASTS 2 TO 3 DAYS MAX... I HAD ABSOLUTLEY NO SIDE EFFECTS AND I WAS ON PERCOCET FOR ALMOST 7 MONTHS 70 MG A DAY.....!!! TRUST ME EMAIL ME IF YOU HAVE ANYMORE QUESTIONS..... ***@**** YOU WILL HAVE NO PAIN I PROMISE!!!

all these meds seem to have the same rotten side effects. im now on zoloft to take edge off, and oxy 30mg 2x/day to manage pain and percocet for breakthru pain. unfortunately, i think this is my life and i am trying to accept that the pain will be a part of my life; i may never work again or play with my kids, but this must be my cross to bear.

The only reason why I mention about my doctor not wanting to work with me is because he is a big believer in the drug and he knows I need them to manage my pain and thinks it is very unnecessary to go through withdraw symptoms as it is very painful to do so. Also he is a big believer that there are no long term medical side effects to the drug ie liver heart ext. Obviously depression and sexual side effects aside as he does not see these as long term medical side effects.

Please talk to your physician. There are other long acting opiates that may not produce the unpleasant side effects that you are experiencing. My system is very sensitive to medications. This may be true for you. It took a lot of trial and error before I found on that agreed with me. That is usually the norm. Your physician should be willing to work with you until you find that right combination of meds.

The side effect of euphoria is what makes percocet and the long acting form (oxycontin) so addicting. Chasing that effect will require you to take more and more of the medication. And the goal of pain relief will become secondary. The reason why you didn't feel this with the oxycontin is because the medicine is on a time released schedule to be released over a 12 hour period.

Says I am on way to many and that my pain mgmt Dr will have to wean me off of these slowly, as they all have w/d side effects. Anyway, now I am trying to get off of them. PM Dr. told me to cut them in half and do that for 3-4 days and then quit!! Do this with the Percs and Somas. Then do the same with my Xanex, starting in a couple of weeks. I tried doing this with the percs and was feeling really ****** by the 3rd day. Have not even tried to get off Soma's yet.

Well what comes to mind is Percocet is a compound drug that has tylenol and oxycodone in it. One of the side effects listed in my PDR is hearing loss. Maybe she is having some ringing in her ears and thats what the 'machines' sound like to her? she may need to go see a hearing specialist. Instead of a pediatrician, I'd skip that step and go straight to an ENT doctor.

Percocet (oxycodone) to Fentanyl is a downgrade but may be a more effective way to treat pain. The potential for abuse or dependence is greater with the Percocet. The side effects mentioned are rare and fentanyl or Duragesic is a very effective way to treat Chronic pain, especially in the elderly.
