Percocet narcotic

Common Questions and Answers about Percocet narcotic

percocet

Avatar m tn Dilaudid is a much stronger narcotic than oxycodone ( oxycodone is the narcotic ingredient in percocet). Percocet is tylenol and oxycodone combined. I think you will have much better pain control with the dilaudid for sure.
Avatar n tn I just found out I am pregnant and I've been on Narcotic Pain Meds for a while. I have 3 herniated discs in my lower back. Is this harmful the baby? (Methadone Percocepts)??
Avatar n tn The only difference is that the Percocet is a lower dose of oxycodone and it contains Tylenol but its the same narcotic in both meds and is no different except I would think Percocet would be worse because of the Tylenol which can be DEVESTATING to the liver. No narcotic pain med is good for a fetus and all narcotic pain meds will cause the baby to be born dependent to opiates and cause them to go through withdrawal when born.
890735 tn?1261421725 Im going from 140 MG of percocet a day to 25 mc of Fentanyl every 72 hours... does this transition seem about right? I dont need anyone to tell me how addictive it is i know all about that, i just need to know if that transition is about right.
Avatar f tn From what I have read, the withdrawals can be pretty difficult. I hope the Percocet will help. Do you have someone who can hold and dispense the Percocet to you to help you stick with your taper plan? This will make it easier for you. Is your doctor on board with you quitting the fentanyl? Please make sure you are staying very well hydrated during this process. Also, eat healthy meals or drink some protein shakes or Ensure or Boost to help keep up your strength.
Avatar f tn I have been taking percocet every four hours for six months following a car accident. I am leaving rehab and want to get off the percocet safely. How do I do this at home? I may still need to take pain medication.
Avatar n tn I personally find ibuprofen to be one of my best meds. If I need to take a narcotic, it helps the narcotic work better and longer. But it can cause stomach upset and even GI bleeding. (Percocet has Tylenol (acetaminophen) in it so you never want to take that in addiction to your Percocet.) You can also talk to the pharmacist about ibuprofen and how best to take it with your Percocet. (Also some people find good relief with OTC Aleve.
Avatar f tn Hi sorry for another post but I'm off to the doctors and wanted to post this before going. I called the pharmacy to see if there was anything they could recommend asking my doctor for that's NON narcotic or addicting and she asked if I'd tried Tramacet or Tramadol? I've never heard of these but the cet in tramacet leads me to think of percocet? she said it's not a controlled substance and is non narcotic...
Avatar f tn Just FYI, the reason they put the Tylenol in the pill in the first place is because it acts as a catalyst to boost the efficacy of the narcotic. As long as the mg strength of the narcotic is strong enough to affect your pain, you can do without the tylenol. If you having a rough day and need more, rather than taking more of the narcotic, just take two ibuprofen with your oxycodone.
Avatar m tn Hi there, I'm a 40 year old male from Canada who had previous addictions to opiates & alcohol. In December 2009 I quit everything. 2 weeks ago I had dental surgery and was prescribed percocet for pain. So for the past 2 weeks I've been taking 4-7 percs a day. I'm wanting to stop now as I'm not feeling as much in pain and don't want this in my system. These are I guess 5mgs each? plus tylenol. So the max was 7 per day.
Avatar n tn If you husband has a narcotic addiction that would include codeine. However his drug of choice is probably percocet (oxycodone). Codeine is not nearly as strong as oxycodone and I assume his PCP is aware of his problems with oxycodone. Indeed it would take many codeine to compare to one oxycodone. His PCP may have prescribed him only enough for several days. If his physician felt he required the drug for pain he may be cutting him some slack.
210982 tn?1280983895 Is morphine (avinza) a stronger narcotic than percocet? I have 60 mg tablets of avinza, so if I take one of those, is that like taking 6 of the percocet 10/325?
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...
Avatar m tn Hey gang.......today is day 22 off of Percocet, I am about to go to the doctor, I have no desire to get anything narcotic for my pain(herniated discs w/ nerve impingement)........can anyone recommend any non-narcotic/non-habit forming pain medication? I do not want to go through w/d's again......I learned first-hand that taking percocet, as directed for over a year(7.5/325 every 4 hours)can still get you addicted even if you're not abusing it .
Avatar f tn Anyway, after finding out I was pregnant I attempted to stop using the Percocets, but the kidney stone pain was too severe to be controlled by Tylenol Alone and I resorted back to taking Percocet for pain maganement. I had these stones for nearly 2 months before the pain was so unbearable that I opted for surgery to remove them last week which involved removing the stones and placing a stent.
Avatar m tn A friend of mine found out that she is pregnant a few weeks ago, she is 10-11 weeks and is convinced that using percocet does not effect the fetus until her last trimester. She uses anywhere from 5-10 percocet '10s' daily..sometimes more. If anyone has any information it would be greatly appreciated!
Avatar f tn I dont know about percocet but i know i was given lortab during my pregnancy.
478811 tn?1208474960 I truly appreciate the replies, and I will definetely be trying other non-narcotic meds, when I have completely gotten off percocet.
Avatar m tn Is the pill. Oxaydo 5mg tabs, just like taking a percocet 5/325 ? They are suppose to be a deterrant. So do they act just as the actual percocet pill?
Avatar f tn I take percocet because I have sever arthritis and only at the most take 3 a day. I do wake up in the mornings sometimes around 2 or 3am to go to the bathroom and then I go back to sleep. I was just wondering if I could take Alteril to maybe help me sleep thru the night. I am hoping within 10 days after the Dr. does a procedure to my back I won't have to take the percocet anymore. I know one time I ran out before my appt and it really did not bother me that much.
699217 tn?1323438700 Here is the easiest way to look at it, (i think?) ... Percocet has tylenol in it, however, oxycodone and oxycontin are just straight percocet, no tylenol. I believe that oxycodone is the generic name for Roxicodone, which is also obviously percocet without the tylenol. Oxycontin and oxycodone are the same thing, EXCEPT oxycodone is a quick release tablet, and oxycontin is a slow release of the same med. Hydrocodone is the ingredient in Vicodin and Lortab.
Avatar m tn I have a question about tolerance.I have been on MS Contin,and Percocet for about 3 years,and over that time I have gotten increases to where I am now which is 300MGs MS Contin and 60MGs percocet.My question is,if I take my meds as directed can I keep my tolerance where it is?Or is there a way to keep it from going up?Maybe taking a little less once in a while? I don't want to go any higher on the dosage,what I am on now makes certain activities difficult as it is.Thanks for any help.
Avatar m tn The next doctor visit I was given Percocet and that alone worked wonders for the pain and made me feel loopy. I went a couple days without taking it because I was pain free and started feeling anxious, had hot and cold flashes, and restlessness. I relapsed on the percocet and took it even when I really didn't need to in order to keep the withdrawal symptoms at bay. I saw my surgeon a 3rd time and told him what I was going through with the Perococet and he gave me this stuff called Roxicet.
Avatar f tn I have no clue what to do? I am scared as hell, nervous and I am crying. I am a 22 year old male that has been taking pain pills for a good two years now. Recently I have been taking approximately 10-15 percocet a day....or the same ammount of vicodin, oxycodone, norco's, etc. I am abusing it and I know it. I just came to my senses Saturday and I am on my 2nd day of being clean....ahhhhhh! I feel so damn depressed, its unreal. Sweaty, sad, anxious, horrid thoughts.
599170 tn?1300973893 The 325, 500 or 650 is the amount of tylenol. Percocet and Percodan are the same narcotic, one just has acetaminophen and the other has aspirin. There are other opiates between percocet and Oxycontin in strength. And again what works well for one does not necessarily work as well for another. It makes no sense that Vicodin is more effective for me that Percocet is but it's true in my case. I hope that the information is helpful and addressed your question.
