percocet

Avatar m tn hey maybe you can tell me what would be good to take for pain I had ADR surgery 4 years ago, since then they have been switching my meds around and I want to stop taking anything with Tylenol in it. They have me on 30 mg oxycontin, twice daily, 10/325 percocet 6 a day, soma 4 times daily and xanax 2 mg for anxiety. What are my options for the breakthrough pain, that is what I am taking the percocet for and I need to stop with the Tylenol already enough is enough.
539990 tn?1219474755 I am on day 2 of withdrawing off of 80-100 mgs of percocet per day. I have followed the thomas recipe before and am using xanax. Can I take a soma 350 at nite to sleep for insomnia? Thanks so much?
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.
149087 tn?1258453820 The reason I ask is because my fiance tells me that the soma makes me a zombie and he has read that it (soma) is higly addictive. Baclofen is in the same sort of catergory as soma. If anyone can relate or knows about baclofen can you please answer my question or give me some kind of feed back?
Avatar m tn When the pain actually that nerve pain in my *** down the back of my legs I will take 1 percocet and a soma. I do not feel a high but it takes the edge off of that excruciating nerve pain. My husband told me I am ADDITCED to these Drugs. I do not feel I am because I only use it for pain I Function. My Husband up until today said he had no idea I took pain killers every day. Now HONESTLY I either take 1 darvocet and 1 soma maimum 4 times a day. I would love any advice.

Avatar f tn m sick and tired of the slavery to this evil little pill (Percocet). I went from 6 to 8 10mg Percocet daily, to 5 X 5mg (split the pills) yesterday, and just took my 4th 5mg today. I AM having withdrawal symptoms, but up till now nothing crazy. Just before I took my 4th dose today, however, I had a brief episode that made me want to scream or shout or some other equally ridiculous thing. It was unlike any anxiety I've ever had. So, in addition to my 5mg, I took 1/2 of a .5mg Xanax.
Avatar f tn Great job on getting off of fentanyl. It's a toughie. Are you going to wait a few days before stopping the Percocet and soma?
Avatar m tn You all seem to have all the answers here. I'm 50 years old, been taking Percocet 10/325 @ 4 per day for 14 years exactly as the doctor has ordered. I've weaned myself down to 2 per day over the last week. Can anyone tell me what going cold turkey would be like or should I taper some more for a week or two ? I went cold turkey on the Soma and Xanax, yes, that was pretty bad. I've had 4 back surgeries and my back ***** but I'd rather deal with it than take these anymore.
Avatar n tn I began with taking my usual 1-2 Norco 10/325 a day, and then I started increasing. Soon, I began taking 3-4 a day, combined with Soma. I especially enjoyed taking 2-3 Norco with a Soma, and washing it down with a few rum and cokes. It all felt so good, that as most of you can probably relate to, I didn't realize that I was FULLY addicted (or worse yet, I didn't care). In October, I got my hands on 150 Percocet 10/325 ....
475300 tn?1312423126 I'm just here to offer my support, I too have fibromyalgia and have become addicted to painkillers in an effort to control my pain. I can't offer any ideas on the drugs you mentioned as I've never heard of them other than on this board. I don't know if its because I"m in Canada? not sure...I know there's many diff meds that aren't available here. The post to you above mentioned acupuncture for chronic pain...I'm currently looking into that as well.
Avatar f tn See if your doctor can write you a prescription for some Requip for restlessness, Neurontin for anxiety and malaise, some Flexeril or Soma for a few weeks for muscle spasms and maybe some Seroquel low dose, for sleep. It will make your withdrawals easier. Valerian and Magnesium is sometimes helpful remedies over the counter. The residual symptoms of insomnia and depression can last another few months.
Avatar f tn We are trying to wean him off of the oxy with percocet. He has gone from taking oxy to about 10 percocet a day to about 5 percocets a day now. My question is he has been having some chest pains through out the day for last 3 days since he has dropped down to 5 a day, is this normal? Should I be getting him to a doctor or is this a normal withdrawal?
Avatar f tn I have been on so many meds and the only thing that helps is percocet. Any suggestions? My doc wants mue on thelonger acting meds with minimal break through meds. I dont do well on oxycontin, any suggestions?
Avatar f tn So I last used Percocet about a week and a half ago. This past weekend I started having muscle spasms so bad that I couldn't sleep (where otherwise I was actually sleeping fine). I went to a clinic, and they tried to give me Tramadol, insisting it was non-narcotic. I refused, and they relented and prescribed me Soma. A muscle relaxant. I took one tablet last night, and a half tablet this morning.
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 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.
