Common Questions and Answers about Percocet vs ibuprofen

percocet

Avatar m tn that makes oral dosing difficult; Any opiate at these doses should NOT contain acetominophen, aspirin, or ibuprofen (avoid percocet, for example). Not part of your question, but you did not mention the source of your pain.
203003 tn?1210855907 Ive never heard of a Percocet 30mg, but Percocet and Oxycontin are not the same thing...I believe that Oxycontin is time released while Percocet is not...please someone correct me if Im wrong...hope this helps!
Avatar f tn Is it safe to take 800mg ibuprofen & 650mg Percocet (each pill 325mg) together at once?
Avatar f tn I got Percocet, prescription strength ibuprofen, and Loritab
1326416 tn?1370927001 I am currently taking percocet as a break through med with morphine sustained release. I didn't have a choice on what I could take for breakthrough medicine. I don't take more than 1950 mg of tylenol per day via the percocet. I think the percocet and the vicodin puts a "cap" on how much a person can take before destroying their liver. My doctor has been very trustworthy of me but always wants me to stay on these combo meds.
Avatar n tn Oh, by the way, you can take ibuprofen along with the percocet even though the percocet already has tylenol in it, because ibuprofen and acetominophen are able to be taken together. Just don't take more tylenol along with it, because that will be too much tylenol and it could damage your liver.
Avatar f tn I have been on paid meds/muscle relaxers for 20 years. I only take them if I hurt. Is this abuse? My family thinks so. If I don't take them I am in so much pain I can't take it. I would like to stop but don't want the physical pain of my medical problems. Of course, ibuprofen, etc no longer works because I have been on Vicaden or Percocet for so long. I don't know what to do. I do panic if I am running out of meds but I usually don't even take as much as prescribed.
Avatar m tn Fentanyl is a stonger form of an opioid. Opiate and opioid mean the same thing: Opiate is an adjective while opioid is a noun. Percocet is an opioid as is fentanyl. They are synthetic which means they are man made and not derived from a plant. Good job on getting off the Percocet!
Avatar f tn Charetti is right, Tylenol 3 at your dose is not that bad and will be much easier to quit than Vicodin or Percocet. If you are only taking 3 per day, the best way to minimize withdrawal would be to taper your dose. If you are taking one pill, 3X per day, then start by trying to take 1/2 pill vs a whole one - essentially see if you can cut your dose in half. You may feel a little withdrawal, but it should not be too bad. Try the half dose for two - three days, then cut that down by 1/4 - 1/2.
Avatar f tn The last time I was there, they gave me percocet for my migraine. My doctor was actually the one who gave it to me. So yes, I have had to take them during pregnancy. BUT only under strict observation from my doctor. Normally, I just take tylenol if I have pain.
Avatar f tn By the way. Percocet , and Vicodin are both a category C. "It is not known whether Percocet is harmful to an unborn baby, but it could cause breathing problems or addiction/withdrawal symptoms in a newborn. " Remember it's important to talk to your doctor if about the medications you're on. Good luck.
Avatar f tn t have had any kind of withdrawal going to Percocet from Vicodin. Whatever occured was unrelated. Percocet is stronger than Vicodin. Try not to over think this. It will be what it is...it won't be the worst thing you'll go through. Just not pleasant. It's truly like having the flu...
Avatar m tn I am having kidney stones and the doctor put me on Percocet and told me to stop the Norco..Is Percocet stronger than Norco? The stones are killing me.
Avatar f tn Try taking a percocet then 2-3 hrs later take the motrin an d getting longer intervals in between percocet doses. So instead of taking percocet every 4hrs, try every 6 hrs then every 8. Just start weaning yourself off them instead of cold turkey. I had excision surgery (where they literally cut out the endo and surrounding areas and suspected areas) and also a appendectomy and supracervical hysterectomy 2wks ago tomorrow. I've been off all percocet for about 5 days now.
Avatar f tn They gave me ibuprofen for the psin and they gave me a prescription in case ibuprofen was not enough.
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.
1225178 tn?1318980604 My body aches have intensified in severity and and frequency in the past few weeks and since Tylenol doesn't work for me, I was taking Ibuprofen 2 to 3 times a day and it started getting to the point where my stomach felt kind of raw when I'd take it. I told my doctor about this and he told me that he didn't want me taking Ibuprofen more than once a day. He wrote me a prescription for Ultram which says it is for moderately severe pain.
Avatar f tn After that, you just get Tylenol or ibuprofen, unless you had a csection or other complication, they may give you percocet. You can get tylenol and ibuprofen in liquid or chewable tablets as well.
