Common Questions and Answers about Can you mix percocet with tylenol

percocet

Avatar n tn I would not do that. You would be mixing 3 pain relievers. Percocet has acetominophen (Tylenol). I doubt your liver would enjoy the mix. I would check with your dentist or pharmacist. If bones are healing, you don't want to take Advil. That's what an orthopedic surgeon once told me. For some problems, you can alternate your pain meds. If your stomach isn't overly sensitive, you can probably handle 3 Advil at once.
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 Someone else may have a different experience with it, but I would recommend against it...advil can tear up your stomach and tylenol can tear up your liver, and when you combine them you're just making it that much harder for each system to process them easily. have you tried things like aleve? Naproxen sodium I have found to be a superior pain reliever as far as OTC medications (non prescription) go :-).
Avatar f tn 2 days for a 5mg percocet could be hit or miss on a drug screen if they are looking for it. I would expect a negative result assuming you only took that and no more the previous days. I used to really worry about the detection times. Google drug half lives and detection times. There is a science behind it with some exceptions.
543518 tn?1245322027 Most of the meds have a version that does not have the tylenol - however if you do need to take the pain meds taking them in emergency is NOT the same thing as taking them regularly every few hours. It's like anything else moderation is ALRIGHT - just abuse of anything like that will hurt you.
Avatar f tn Anyone that's already had their baby, what can you take for migraine while breast feeding? Besides Tylenol it's worthless. I've had this migraine since Thursday and I don't want to go to quick care, they'll give me a morphine shot and idk If it's safe while nursing? Any advice is appreciated I know I'm in the wrong place but nobody answers the bf forum...
Avatar f tn Mental fatigue, liver damage from Tylenol, kidney trouble as you mentioned, endorphin production is halted etc.. All of these can happen.
706250 tn?1232453817 If two relieve your pain discuss this with your PCP and he may prescribe you one tablet with 10mg. Be cautious with the Tylenol and do not exceed the recommended daily amount which I beleive is 4 grams. I will look that up later to be sure of the amount. So if Percocet is helping your pain I beleive you can stick with that for awhile. They also make oxycodone without the Tylenol in it. Would you like a list of some other meds that are comparable?
Avatar f tn t cut it for you then the next time that you can take some meds take the percocet. By the third day I barely needed the advil anymore. I hope it starts to feel better for you soon! Take care and keep us posted.
Avatar n tn If your Liver Enzymes are high then you definitely do NOT want to add Percocet, Norco or Roxanol to the mix. These drugs have Tylenol in them and this will only harm you further. You need a pain reliever without the Tylenol such as Oxycodone, Oxycontin, Morphine or Methadone. Other than the Oxycodone, the other medication that I have mentioned are what is called the " Big Dog" pain relievers.
1035252 tn?1427227833 Alright obviously it's a very bad idea to mix alcohol and tylenol, and normally I wouldn't even consider it. However...we have a gift certificate to a REALLY up-scale restaurant in our town, so DH and I are going out tonight...without the kids..for the first time in two years. we REALLY need it, lol. My question is this....I want to have a glass of wine, but I'm taking Vicodin for my migraines.
Avatar f tn As long as the mg strength of the narcotic is strong enough to affect your pain, you can do without the tylenol. If you having a rough day and need more, rather than taking more of the narcotic, just take two ibuprofen with your oxycodone. That will boost the strength of the oxycodone only when you need it, and not cause you to be taking an overabundance of unnecessary Tylenol. Hope this helps.
Avatar f tn Now im sure i can deal with the low back issue,but i do not think i can deal with my period problems.I have fibroids and ovarian cysts. Right now i hate them pills!!! I would like to know if anybody just saved them for pain after an addiction? This is probably a stupid question. Thank you guys so much for the help,very much appreciative!!!
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.
203003 tn?1210855907 there are other things out there for that. hope someone can come along and let you know what you can take. but, please wait, until then before taking.
1326416 tn?1370927001 s far better to take oxycodone or morphine instead of constantly ingesting tylenol (tylenol is in both percocet and vicoden) which may not even be needed at all. It can be taken seperately if it is needed for a headache or something.
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.
Avatar f tn Its hard to say if the codeine will give you more relief, its still an opiate so its going to give you some level of pain control. Im guessing that you tapering off percocet isnt to get off pain pills completely, just to switch over to codeine? There both opiates, although I do believe the oxycodone is somewhat stronger than codeine. I also have chronic pain in my knee mainly, but also hip and lower back.
