I have a very bad back and neck and was suppose to go in for facet blocks again to help with the pain. But since I'm pergnant now I can't due to it's under xray. I'm not sure what to do, I can't just stop becasue I'll be in sever pain. which doctor should I take to the OB? The pain docotor.
Avatar n tn Vicodin is not quite as strong as percocet and you have to make sure you dont go over the tylenol. How much tylenol is in each tablet? However it is still a narcotic and will keep you from going into w/d's.
2110255 tn?1334188549 There are many lawsuits out there from patients and family members of patients that were taking percocet or vicodin and ended up with liver failure or damage and many of them actually died. There are other lawsuits out there from consumers that overdosed on over the counter tylenol as they were taking up to a bottle a day to combat the pain that no doctor would treat with opioid medications. And again in this scenario, there were several deaths.
Avatar f tn During those time periods, I had elevated liver enzymes and periodic liver pain, all of which dissapated after stopping the tylenol. And yes, I was taking them as prescribed and my total daily amount was around 2,600 mg...no where near the 4,000 mg limit. I have finally been switched to Oxycodone IR, which contains only the opioid that is present in Percocet without the tylenol.
Avatar n tn You will wind up taking less tylenol in the long run and take the edge off the pain for longer periods of time than with tylenol. Ginger I don't know about. I cook with ginger a lot but am unsure about the root. I did try ginger snaps (cookies) on tx on days my tummy wasn't quite right. I wasn't nauseous, I think I was hungry but too tired from the anemia to eat. They didn't help much but it didn't hurt either.
389342 tn?1200699464 the only reason i caught onto it was that i felt really weird after taking it, so i called my mom and asked her to make sure she gave me a tylenol. she told me she may have given me a tylenol with codeine, because she has cancer so she has them, and she keeps them in the same bottle as her regular tylenol in her purse. im sure that she did know she was giving me that, and didnt think she would be doing me any harm, since she didn't know im withdrawaling from an opiate.
Avatar f tn I hope you can convince him that you love him very much and hope he will get off these meds they will impact his kidneys and liver more and more as he gets older. You didnt say what he took them for? BUT he has to be a willing particiapant. While 71 is old enough to make up your on mind it is far from being too old. As the aging process takes a hold of you it gets easier to live with pain, by taking medication, BUT it also makes you not have any tolerance for pain when you take that much.
Avatar n tn Yes, because Advil contains no acetominophen. (Tylenol). However, Percocet DOES contain Tylenol so you cannot take any other tylenol products with the Percocet.
Avatar m tn 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. I talked with my doc last time I was there to see her, and this is when she switched me to the percocet from Vicoprofen, due to the fact that it was doing nothing for the pain. Please if you have any ideas I know you might not be a Dr. however, I just need some one elses opinion on this matter.
Avatar f tn I'm 8 wks PG and have started having bad headaches and migraines. Tylenol isn't working so the Dr. prescribed percocet. I'm a little hesistant to take it but figure my Dr. wouldn't prescribe it if it wasn't safe. Has anyone else had this prescribed to them for pain? Did you have any side effects while taking it? Thanks.
203003 tn?1210855907 Percocet isn't made in a 30mg strength, only 5mg, 7.5 mg and 10mg. Percocet is oxycodone and tylenol. Oxycontin is oxycodone in a time released pill. They used to make a capsule of 15mg of fast release oxycodone that people called percocet 15's but that was a misnomer. I'm not sure that they still make them here in the US.
Avatar f tn o mannn i tried not taking the percocet and i'm not a very happy camper right now!
Avatar f tn You stated you were taking oxycodone and percocet, no mention of morphine sulfate. If you're taking all three I don't even know where to begin other than I didn't say bump up the percocet. I said bump up the oxycodone and eliminate the percocet because of the Tylenol because I don't understand why both are necessary. I don't know how you manage to work with that amount of medication.
Avatar m tn I have been on all sorts of meds in the past, including vicodin and percocet. My orthopedic Dr. told me before I could mix tylenol with advil and it would equal a pain pill without the narcotic effect. I don't remember how many of each to take and how many hours apart to take each of them. Is this safe? I would rather take these then go back on pain meds! Thanks!
Avatar m tn I have bad back and neck trouble, and yes you will build a tolerance to them to where you need more and more, I would try taking one of the four closer to bed time, so when its time to come off it wont be so hard 4 a day is not that bad but you can still have w/d even on that amount. Maybe try alaeve or motrin at bed time with a perc, TRY NOT to take more than DR order.
1264863 tn?1391118193 t worry about it. Just continue tapering down and you will be taking less and less acetaminophen. If you absorb liquid better than solids switching to a liquid might actually end up being a spike in your dose and that will cause you to go in the wrong direction if you are serious about tapering off of your meds. If you do have a problem absorbing solids you may only be taking in half the amount of percocet or say 4 pills a day even though you are taking 8.
Avatar m tn Went back to dr for follow up,wanted to give me Tylenol 3 and flexiril. I went back to ER got another shot of dilaudid and a Percocet then had a pain management dr appt next day. Went there here perscribed dilidid and a muscle relaxer. Not working. I'm switching back and forth to Percocet. I also have norco I've thrown in a couple times. Help!?
Avatar f tn per day, I am out of percocet, but am taking the oxycontin. I feel kind of sick. Arent they the same thing? Why would I be having withdrawels? I take the meds for real pain, and ran out of the percocet, because I try not to take as much oxycontin, becuase it makes me tired and gives me a headache. Any ideas?
Avatar m tn Dilaudid is a much stronger narcotic than oxycodone ( oxycodone is the narcotic ingredient in percocet). Percocet is tylenol and oxycodone combined. I think you will have much better pain control with the dilaudid for sure.
Avatar n tn MY FRIEND IS TAKING PERCOCET 5 NOW BUT HAS BEEN TAKING A HIGHER DOSE AND NOW THESE FOR THE LAST 2 TO 3 YEAR AND NOW IS HAVING HEART PALPATATIONS AND IREGULAR HEART BEATING...COULD THIS DRUG BE CAUSING THIS?
Avatar f tn I have been taking percocet (oxycodone acetaminophen) 5/325 1 pill 3 times a day. That was a great system that worked for me. Recently I was prescribed oxycodone minus the acetaminophen. I understand the risks of liver damage. However, I have had NO relief since I began this new drug. I'm confused because it is the same drug minus the Tylenol. Anyone else experiencing this? Would taking a higher dose of the oxycodone (not Percocet which is oxy with acetaminophen) help me better?
Avatar n tn I just got home after having my broken knee cap put back together (knee surgery with screws and wire). I am on the couch with a lot of pain and at least for the next few days I am taking 5mg of Oxycodone, every 3-4 hours, depending on pain levels. I am really struggling to get my blood sugar levels even close to normal. For what it's worth, I am on an insulin pump and have great control (I avg. 5.8 A1C's).
Avatar f tn I was involved in a car accident april 2013, and had some injuries, but was told my back showed no break. I was put on Percocet 5 ....every 6 hours, but wasn't getting enough pain relief. I constantly get a burning or ache in my spine area that is very painful! Trying to offset the pain medication (as doctors don't want to increase due to addiction).... I seem to regurally take a bottle of Tylenol 500 mg of 100 tabs per week.
Avatar m tn If her pain meds are something like vicodin, norco or percocet, they contain tylenol which will lower fever. Her doctor needs to be notified immediately about the fever.
Avatar f tn Take a week to do it and then stop. If you are taking Percocet for pain, take Tylenol instead, but no more than directed. Make sure that your OB/GYN is aware that you have been taking Percocet during pregnancy; baby may need extra attention after birth. But if you wean yourself early enough before delivery everything should be fine, just don't do it abruptly. If your pain is not controlled with Tylenol, please talk to your physician and your OB to see what your options are.
Avatar f tn Motrin and tylenol always keeps me comfortable. The pain BEFORE a problem is fixed absolutely can be horrible, which again is why the answer is to fix the problem. You definitely need to start addressing this. How much are you taking? Any history of addiction issues? Drinking? We're here to help!
Avatar f tn Do not take tylenol and he percocet. Percocet is safe I took it with a bunch of my pregnancys. I had kidney stones bad and had to be hospitalized a lot and put on iv pain med but when it was manageable I was on. 1-2 Percocet 5's every 4-6 hrs through out my pregnancys. I only get bad stones while pregnant but my babies were all healthy, well the ones I took the medicine with. If you are in pain take your medicine bonus it help with pregnancy pains...
