percocet

Avatar f tn My Dad was recently put on oxycontin- short term- for hip pain. He is having surgery next week. My Mom called telling me that Dad was having to concentrate on his breathing, was dizzy and having problems concentrating. I told her to bring him to the hospital. I will be leaving to meet them but I thought that these were all signs of a overdose. I really haven't had these signs when I was abusing so I am not sure. Can anyone enlighten me?
Avatar f tn Is it safe to take 800mg ibuprofen & 650mg Percocet (each pill 325mg) together at once?
Avatar f tn Originally, opioid-tylenol combo products came out as a cruel product from pharmaceutical companies in a effort to curb drug addiction as getting high on these pills will cause an overdose on tylenol so the tylenol synthetically CAPS the amount that can be consumed safely. Most opioids don't have a ceiling meaning that one can be prescribed large amounts if needed to control their pain without adverse effects.
3149845 tn?1506627771 How much Tylenol you can take safely depends of the health of your liver. If you don't have cirrhosis then you can take up to the amount your hepatologist or gastro says. Usually no more than 2000 mg per day Tylenol, whose active ingredient is acetaminophen, will now have a lower recommended daily dose, which is aimed at reducing the risk of accidental overdose, McNeil Consumer Healthcare, a Johnson & Johnson company announced today.
5204799 tn?1365456784 what is considered to be a dangerous amount of hydro to take? i currently am struggling with 12ish a day of norco 10/325. but i have taken as many as 21 in day. is there a danger of dying from that amount? or do some folks take way more than that and still be fine? i really have not considered that i might be taking enough to hurt myself in an overdose situation. if this is a stupid question i apologize, im just trying to be smart and more careful.
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 f tn can taking methadone and percocet togeather cause overdose wich can lead to a stroke? If your addicted to percocet coming off of them can it make you really angry at anyone tring to help you get off them? can taking to much percocet mixed with methodone and xanix make you very disfunctional slured speech and come in and out while in a conversation and fall asleep all the time?
Avatar m tn t need to be concerned about it. Seriously, the amount of percocet you take in one day is roughly equivalent to the 25 mcg fentanyl patch. You reacted to 3 percocet because you overdosed in the strictest sense of the word. You took more than prescribed, against prescribing instructions, and caused a spike of the medication in your blood. Your body said, "Enough!" With the fentanyl patch, you won't have those spikes and you won't have symptoms of overdose.
2110255 tn?1334188549 t tell you that you can take 2 pills per day. However, oxycodone comes in up to 30 mg tablets and the dose of percocet is bounded by the amount of tylenol within it. The maximum safe amount of tylenol that can be ingested in a single dose is 1,000 mg. Per the maximums the pharmaceutical companies published, the max prescribed dose of percocet is "up to 3 tablets (assuming 5/325 mg dose per tablet) every 4-6 hours not to exceed 12 pills in a day".
610505 tn?1329603723 haha. yes I know. It wont work. Suboxone forces its way into the opiate receptors and the antagonist will bind in such a way as to push and keep out other opiates.
Avatar m tn s response. I am on 30 mg of morphine sulfate ER twice a day with up to 35 mg of percocet a day for breakthrough pain (about to switch to Opana ER tomorrow...maybe). I have taken the max of 35 mg of percocet in one day before along with 60 mg of morphine sulfate ER.

Avatar f tn Over a year ago I took a overdose of BP meds along with alcohol which landed me in the hospitol. I had been seeing a PCP for 4 yrs prior for neck and shoulder injurys, he had me on percocet 7.5/500. When I went for my appt. I honestly told the NP what happened, I was immediately taken off pain meds, told to get counseling with notes brought to them and I have not been able to recieve a pain med since.
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?
Avatar m tn I was given percocet 10/325 for pain for surgery and was told to take 1 - 1 1/2 pills every 4-5 hours. I'm opiate tolerant but 15mg every 4-5 hours seems like a lot. Also I have percocet 7.5/325 that says I can take 2 every 3-4 hours. Is this posing any possible over dose problems or health problem? This will only be taken for a short amount of time.No more than 2 weeks. Any advise on the saftey of this would be appreciated.
Avatar f tn when we are off these drugs for a week or longer, and our bodies have already detoxed and begun functioning without it, the possiblity of having an overdose is very high. An overdose from vicodin feels like your throat is closing, your heart beats really fast and it is hard to breath. It is the worst feeling in the world. My experience was light compared to what i heard could have happened from opiate overdose. People end up in comas and can die.
Avatar f tn Two years ago my aunt was found in her home, she had died from an overdose of Percocet, she also had alcohol in her system. Her throat was so relaxed that she choked while trying to eat something. She died alone, and that kills me. I understand your grief. It strikes me as odd that the coroner would rule it a suicide?? They also ruled my aunts death a suicide, I don't agree with it, but have learned to accept it. I hope your days get better, and wish you well. Sending prayers your way..
Avatar f tn Am I a candidate for suboxone if I take ten percocet tens a day and use coricidin on a regular basis?
Avatar m tn Due to his illness I want to make sure that when I count his pills that he will not take to much. I would like to know if anyone knows what the fatal amount of 10mg Oxycontin would be fatal. Thank you for your help.
Avatar n tn All I can tell you is a gram and a half could very easily be an overdose amount. If you had taken that amount any other way besides snorting - you wouldn't be able to get on the computer right now... If you have any respiratory or heart problems though - get medical help and be on the safe side. If you aren't going to get medical help, the best thing you can do is get as comfortable as possible and try to relax yourself.
Avatar m tn I have been taking vicodin ES 750mg 90 tablets a month for the past 2 years due to my bad knees. I was recently switched over to the percocet 5/325 my body was becoming tollerant to the vicodin to the point where they were not relieving the pain anymore. I had the same reaction with the percocet where I had to take 2-3 at once.
Avatar f tn Hi there. I took an overdose once and had my stomach pumped. But you're awake now so that part I'm unsure about. What's important now is to make sure you don't repeat this behavior. Do you know why you did this? Do you want someone to talk with? You may also private message me. Ok?
Avatar f tn I'n on methadone and took 1 percocet for pain for a tooth ache on 7/8 and went to a dentist on 7/9 and given Ibeprophen 500 and amoxacillan. Would the percocet still show up in a urine on 7/21? My job depends on it.
Avatar m tn Can someone give me either the symptoms or the timeline for an Ibuprofen overdose? And what's going to happen if I don't get treatment? I've taken approx. 40 200mg ibuprofen tablets, 32 hours ago.
Avatar f tn The insult leads to permanent injury or severe complications when the dosage of Acetaminophen exceeds 7,000mg in a single dose or greater than 4,000mg/24 hours over an extended period of time (6,000mg spread over 24 hours is enough to cause harm in some patients but usually it takes this amount of Acetaminophen daily for days-weeks to cause harm in most patients).
