Percocet vs norco

Common Questions and Answers about Percocet vs norco

percocet

Hi! Well, in a way they act the same way as they have acetaminophen with an opiate drug. Only the opiate drug has changed from hydrocone to oxycoodone. If oxycodone is more effective for you, it will reduce your use of methadoone. So, in long term it may be effective. Take care! The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you.

I was prescribed Percocet and I received the generic brand Oxycodone W/APAP 5/325 Two weeks later i had a kidney stone and was prescribed Percocet again. This time the generic name was Endocet 7.5/500 Why was it Oxycodone one time and Endocet the next time.

In equal dosages...which is stronger....Norco's or Percocets. Percocets constipate me terribly so the pain doc gave me Norco's which I have never taken before.

My script ran out and I had to go the ER and they gave me Percocet there for a pain I was lying about. My question is how strong is the 500/325 percocet in relation to the 750 norco vicodin? I am trying to take only 10 percocet a day and survive. WHat does 10 percocet equate to in terms of ES vicodin? I am having some pretty nasty nausea at night and heart palpitations and nausea dizzyness.

I have never heard of Norco. Is it a slang word? I looked online and it looks to me like it is vicodin w/asa. Is it like Percocet vs. percodan? What is it like? I dont want to try it or anything, just curious.

I have been on percocet 10/325 and norcos 10/325 over 5 years for a back injury. I have tried 3 times in 5 years to quit. I was so close two of the times but ended up rationalizing why I needed to take them again which took me back to the begining. I was taking/have been taking 14-16 percs a day and ran out two weeks before my refill date. Luckily I had about 50 norcos left and now Im ready to be done.

I HAVE BEEN TAKING PERCOCET FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW, EVERYDAY! IT STARTED FOR BACK PROBLEMS AND THE AMT. I WAS TAKING WAS OKAY IN THE BEGINNING, THEN I STARTED TAKING MORE AND MORE THAN I SHOULD. IT IS NOW TO THE POINT WHEN I DON'T HAVE ANY LEFT, I AM RUNNING AROUND WORRYING ABOUT WHERE I CAN GET MORE, I AM EVEN GOING IN DEBT FROM BUYING THEM OFF THE STREET. I AM SCARED AND DON'T WANT TO BE IN PAIN ALWAYS, BUT, I WANT TO BE ABLE TO COME OFF THEM WITHOUT HAVING HEART FAILURE OR WHATEVER.

Thankfully there isn't tylenol in the oxycontin, but the tylenol with percs is surely compromising these organs' well being. My very good friend, a percocet abuser, just got off a dialysis machine 2 days ago, for failed liver and kidney function. He is an otherwise healthy 32 year old man. Then there are changes that occur to the brain, that in many cases can be permanent. Some addiction specialists draw the analogy of an addicts brain to a person that has had a stroke.

5/200 vicoprofen a day for 2 years,need to quit so am down to 2 a day and out.I have percocet 5/325 but have never taken that before,whats the difference?should i take 1 or 2??

You'll see I post ALOT on Axiety but this i my First post in the part of the Forums. I've been on Norco 10/325 now for 8-9 years due to a Lower back injury. I get 120 a Month. I did see a Pain management doctor and he have my 160 but he stopped taking my insurance so Now my Primary doc gives my 120 a month. Anyways... I told him how I may take 2 rather than one at a time due to my pains being so intense. I will ONLY take 2 whn and only my pain is super intence keep in mind.

Just want to know what is stronger Norco (10mg hydrocodone/325 tylenol or 10mg Percocet (10mg oxycodone/325mg tylenol?) Seems equal unless one narcotic is stronger than the other.

Thanks for your note, I really appreciate it! Is Norco the same thing as percocets? I'm not familiar with it......How is Day 2 of the withdrawal for you? I hope you are not too uncomfortable....what did your doctor say?

After a car accident 4 years ago I went through percocet wd's could turkey. Worst 2 weeks of my life! Unfortunately I was put on hydro's about a year ago due to deteriorating discs and severe tendonitis/arthritis in the wrists from playing music. I am currently on a taper program where I was taking 10+ Norco's per day and now I am down to 5-7.5's per day. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I have been on Percocet for 4 months for a herniated disk. I was taking half a day, then one a day, then up to 6 a day. Then I started having awful side effects. My back pain got worse, my tongue was swelling some, and had stomach pain too. Then I had my lumbar injection and the pain got worse. I am scared this is an allergic reaction. I had my lumbar steroid injection, and the pain got worse, so my Dr prescribed Tylenol 4.

I was married to his father, and it turned out he was using me for his green card. When I had my son, the performed a C-section. I was given Percocet for this procedure. Long story short, when I took these percs, the pain was GONE and I didn't dwell on my son's father day and night. After my prescription ran out (it lasted about 2 days), and the dr wouldn't refill, I stopped taking them. Then 7 weeks later, when I got a job, someone was selling them at the job.

I have tried both the oxycontin many strenghts the 80 mg are not very strong the bes ones are the oxycontin 60 mg but the problem is every 3 months like clockwork i would get very sixk vomiting and shaking very bad shivering in bed for at least 3 to 4 days every time i would get to my las few tablets like 8 hrs after my last dose this would happen it was crazy the pain mgt pac switched me to opana ER 40 mg twice a day v/s the 4 a day of oxycontin this is along with norco 10/325 10 a day 3 zana

I went through a taper of Norco's. I have a whole thread going (New person tapering question) that details my progress and what I went through daily. Hoping it will help just one person who is like me. We all are the same yet differnt on this subject. Great analogy with the duck=bird. I was terrified to do my taper based on what I read on this board. One person here thought it was a "too fast taper." That scared me. Plus I read where everyone had these nasty w/d effects.

So there I was, 48 hours to go until my appointment and no meds. Withdrawals began. About six months ago, my doctor had prescribed me five days worth of Norcos over the phone, because the prescriptions he had sent me home with had to be ordered by my pharmacy, and he couldn't call in a Schedule II over the phone to get percocets for me until they could order the Roxicodone.

I can't excersise or go out and do things that I wan to do. The only way I could somewhat function was when I was on Norco/vicodin. I would have to take 2 1/2 norco b/c my tolerance is so high. I have chronic interstitial cystis and vulvodynia and IBS probelms. Basicly severe pelvic pain....muscle pain and nerve pain. It's hell. I have taken all non narcotic pain meds and mucles relaxers, lyrica, nuerontin, elavil and nothing works.

Norco is better than most because it only has 325 of Tylenol Vs. 500 or 650. To my knowledge hydrocodone which is the narcotic agent in Norco (I take it too) does not come in a tablet all on it's own. In order to get rid of the Tylenol you have to move up to the drug oxycodone which is in drugs like Percocet they make oxycodone tabs without Tylenol. Question is why are you so worried about your liver? Is your liver already compromised?

I have recently been referred to a new pain management doc and he is in the process of adding/switching me over to Kadian for long-acting pain control vs. just the Norco I have been on....my question primarily is how long will it take for me to adjust to the change from short acting opiate to the extended release meds...

Before the Botox treatments the pain was severe. I have done all the drug (morphine, Norco, Gabapentin, Oxycontin, Percocet and what ever drug they could give me to help with pain. My family doctor who was trying to help gave me Fentanyl50mcg in hopes it would help with my pain issues. It numbed up my mind and although I was eating, it was not enough and I went from 150lbs to 108lbs in a matter of months.

good luck and i'll keep you in my prayers. JDRMinSD 12/17/07 It's mostly been the Norcos for me, the ultrams were a recent addition and to be honest, I didn't notice much from them....so they felt "safe" but again, I know enough to know better. Then there was the intermittant Fiorinal with Codeine which also sucked (but not at the time). So it's probably been at least a year, maybe longer. I had a REALLY crappy 2007, so it probably started during all that....

Now the problem is not that as it is an easy fix. The problem is they have had me on percocet, tramadol, xanax, lyrica, baclofen, and a couple others for a while, and today I find out I'm pregnant. It isn't my first child, but it is my first child I've ever conceived while being addicted to anything, and SCARED to quit!! I want to, obviously, but I don't know that c/t is the way to do it. My first OB told me that c/t is not ok in pregnancy for anything(smoking inc.

A person's metabolism, the last time they used in regards to the test, the route (oral vs IV), and so on and so forth. Pretty much there is a good chance of a test showing the presence of opiates in the system if someone is abusing. If it is still being excreted, it will be a positive result.
