percocet

Avatar n tn does anyone know recommended dosage for Watson 749 (Percocet), how often you are supposed to take it?
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?
5341133 tn?1372011906 Congrats on making it to day 11! You should be able to start sleeping soon I would think. There are many things you can do to move things along. Try and get some exercise during the day like walking. There are some good natural herbs such as Kava and Valerian Root that I found helpful. The Kava Tea in particular helped a lot. The herb Valerian root (Valeriana officinalis) is used as a sedative on the nervous system and a relaxant for the muscles (Reader's Digest, 2009, Pp128).
1887358 tn?1320931131 and physicians are usually under the guidelines of FDA recommended dosage. The FDA still suggest that 4,000mg per 24 hour period. of Acetaminophen not be exceeded. However the concerning issue is Acetaminophen has found it's way into many, many drugs. Your cough syrup, sleep aid allergy medication and so much more usually contains Acetaminophen. So many are taking it without either realizing it or adding it up. That's the concern. Best to talk to your prescribing physician.
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 Phillnoir - cool moniker, equally cool post. Remember, this forum is just as much for we poor souls who read the posts, as well as those who initiate them. clsmith843? Acetaminophen - AKA "Tylanal" (intentionally misspelled) - is toxic to one's liver and organs. Absolutely and unequivocally, it'll kill ya. The maximum recommended dosage is not to exceed 500mg/daily. That's not even a full, regular dose as per label instructions, it's 1 tablet.
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 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 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.
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?
Avatar f tn The same thing happened to me in 1994. Got rear ended and blew a couple of discs in my neck. They took their time oozing out and I didn't really have bad symptoms for about 4 months - after I signed off all the insurance papers of course. :-\ Anyway, don't rely on only medication for your pain. Physical therapy is an absolute MUST for these kinds of injuries, unless the herniation is so severe that you unquestionably need surgery. Fair warning: PT hurts, and it hurts a LOT.
Avatar n tn After many frustrating years of intense facial pain, I was diagnosed in 2004 with trigeminal neuralgia. None of the recommended treatments / drugs provided any relief suggesting I had Atypical TN and I was prescribed pain medication. Understanding that everyone experiences pain in different ways, the best description would be that of a recurring “Brain-Freeze”. Something akin to quickly drinking a Slurpee and getting that horrible temple pain, just a bit lower and underneath my right eye.
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 m tn I can relate to all of you on the symptoms your having from not taking percocet I have been taking percocet for about two years now. I work alot and finding time to curb this addiction is becoming very difficult. I have tried many times to kick this thing every time i have failed. The worst part for me is the restless sleep and that sick feeling. I would also prefer to stop cold turkey but I think I might need some help.
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 I would like to get off Percocet for good. I have 100 pills left this prescription. Would that be enough to taper from 8 a day to 0? I don't want to involve my doctor at this point for fear of failure or commitment. I would like to do this before my next refill, on my own, as the refill would start this nightmare all over again. Any suggestions on a schedule for the amounts I have stated? I took 7 yesterday and believe it or not I woke at 4am with worst RLS of the whole body.
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.
