Avatar m tn the physical part is hard for me I want to stay busy but energy level wont allow it. today I will take 3 and monday going to cut in half and try for 2 and a half for 2 days. thanks again for feedback.
Avatar f tn I do believe that my digestion has been sped up, and I believe the Erythromycin sped up the Percocet in my body and essentially made it as if I overdosed. I tried talking to a pharmacist about this, but she said the Percocet would have stayed in my body for a longer period of time, not run through it faster. I don't believe this is the case, though, because after an hour and a half all of my pain was back again. My heart calmed, I stopped shaking, and I was in pain.
Avatar f tn I agree, break it in half for a few days. You'll be fine.
Avatar f tn then see if you can break that in half and take 2.5 at night and so on. That way you can ease yourself off without a shock. Read my blog, which you can easily find by clicking on my name about other options, but I think you can do it. I believe in you. And stick with it, please, you must believe in yourself!
Avatar f tn Before I made my decision to stop taking these terrible meds I was up to 90 mg of Oxyneo and Percocet a day. 30 in the morning, 20 in the afternoon and 20 before bed. I had 4 oxy 5 mg for breakthrough pain and I used all four every day. Currently, after 3 weeks of hell I am down to one 20 mg oxyneo during the day and 4 oxycocet. I also take baclofen for my back spasms and cozoplicone to sleep at night.
Avatar f tn Careful! Learn to break those Pure Oxycodone Tablets in half! Why? Because oxycodone will MESS with your tolerance BIGTIME unless you are super-careful! Okay I'll elaborate. You know how on an aspirin bottle, it says "take 1 to 2 tablets..." etc.? You're NOT going to feel that much big difference between 1 and 2 aspirin. BUT, when you go from ONE percocet to the equivalent of TWO percocet (your 15mg roxicodone), it will HIT YOU HARD.... (i.e.
Avatar m tn ive now been taken percocet for 15 months straight with no break. i was up to 4 - 5/325mg tablets. i am now down by half of that and the first half was no fun. i decided to get down by the 2 pills then had to work for a month now i have time off and wondering if the second part of this will be worse then the first. i was looking at alot of the people on here and it looks like i actualy have it much easier because i have just taken much less then them.
1264863 tn?1391118193 You can break those 10 mg. Percocet in one half or one quarter to help you taper down. Are you sure you absorb liquids better than solids? The other thing to do is to call your physician for help. With a chronic illness that may be the best.
979261 tn?1248642848 I hate these withdrawls!!! I have been on 10/325 percocet since I had a hysterectomy last Dec, and another surgery last month. I am still in pain, but cannot live this way either. Any idea on how many days this will last? I have been trying to ween off them, but think it might be better to just stop. My doctor wants to put me in pain mngmnt. but I fear that will just be more medications.
Avatar n tn If you are trying to break an addiction to Oxycontin then Oxycodone may be a way to taper --- I used Oxycodone (Percocet) to taper off of high doses of Oxycontin until I got down to about half my former dose - then went to Suboxone. Sub took away the W/D's in a matter of minutes the first time I took it. It is deceitful though and can be very addictive itself. Best of luck to you as you try to break free from this demonic drug. Lots of help here - keep posting.
Avatar m tn .i have had two back surgeries (fusions) and require at least two more, i have advanced degen/disc disease, also have a shunt for psudotumor cerebri, so the back surgs gets complicated, i have also nodes/spinal stenosis, arthritis in my si joints, and the list goes on, cuz i cant quite remember the bigger words they used for all the issues.
Avatar f tn m still having enough break through pain to warrant me taking the four (4) percocet per day. The percocet 10/325 mg. was first prescribed all by itself because I'd been taking vicodin 10/325 for about 15 years and it felt as if I was taking nothing for pain really. When I went to my last appt.
Avatar f tn Well... Most of you know me, for those who don't, I'm a Percocet/Roxicet addict. I WAS taking up to 150 mgs a day of oxycodone. I tried to taper to 30 mgs and then quit in December then failed miserably. My new plan is going VERY, VERY WELL! I'm using Lexapro to address my anxiety issues and depression, and I've been taking it for almost two months and it's been BEAUTIFUL! My life is coming back! Anyway, I'm down to (GASP!) ONE pill a day! Yahooooo!
Avatar m tn OxyContin is used as a base (if you will) as it is a slow released medication. Oxycodone (Percocet) are used for the break-through pain and is a short acting pain medication. My thoughts? I have several. First your pain is apparently not managed with the dose and medication that your physician has prescribed for you. You must make it clear to your physician that your pain is not managed. Request a higher dose or a change in your medications.
1140934 tn?1285129785 Dear Chasing: I was recently (4 months ago) prescribed this med you speak of. I took it for 2 to 3 weeks and it was as if I was taking nothing at all. It didn't help my pain whatsoever. I had been on vicodin 10/325 mg, but I had been on that for such a long time that the usual amount was as if I was taking nothing, hence the new med you speak of being prescribed. Besides it doing absolutely nothing for me as far as controlling the pain, the price was exhorbitant (sp?)!!!
Avatar f tn I have cried for days knowing I am on the brink of a nervous breakdown and the thought of detoxing alone hoping my lights wont get shut off during the process of detoxing. I have no support system...living a secret...living in shame. I am SCARED people. I have no money to buy anything special to help with detox. I want to start in 3 days..I will be out of pills and never want to look back. I tried tapering when I had my full script...ha ha ha..never worked.
Avatar m tn I'm I having withdrawl or not I stopped taking percocet 40 hrs ago and lying in bed tonight my hands and shoulders were aching so bad I was tossing and turning I got up and took 2 10's Percocet and 1 10 Oxycontin and now I'll spend the rest of the night in my recliner , The question is, is my pain a reaction to stopping the Percocet . I've gone through this time and time again only to have the pain over whelm me .
Avatar m tn I was wondering if anyone else has the same issues i have and can explain what is happening. My doc changed my medicine from OXYIR to Percocet a week and a half ago. I am normally in bed around 11:00 am and I take Zanaflex that helps me relax before bed. Now here is the kicker, I wake up around 3:00 a.m. almost every morning yawning and I can not go back to sleep. IT almost feels like I am going through mini withdrawals. Will I eventually get a full nights sleep again?
890735 tn?1261421725 Im hoping that the 25 mc every 3 days translates less than the 140 MG of percocet, would i be right in assuming that? i know its not an exact science but anyone have any ideas?
Avatar n tn 5mg/325mg knowing that i am on MMT. My question is, will the percocet be effective for break through pain or will my methadone dose block the percocet making it ineffective?
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.
