percocet

Avatar m tn i had knee surgery at end of Dec. and am just now coming off the pain pills and am going nuts. I'm sure its the percocet but am alittle confused about the difference between Percocet and the oxycontin as they both have said....OXYCODONE... on the label is the oxy just a time release percocet?
Avatar m tn what is the difference betweed norco and percocet. please include withdrawal symptoms.
Avatar f tn Opioid pain medications combined with acetaminophen ha e changed recently -- these medications, like Vicodin and Norco, Percocet, and others now have 50% less acetaminophen than they once contained. Still, anyone requiring large amounts of opioid pain releiver should be prescribed medications w/o acetaminophen (called paracetamol in Europe).
Avatar m tn Percocet is stronger than Norco. And way more addictive.
Avatar f tn The difference between Norco and Lortab is the amount of acetiminephen. The Norco only has .325 where as the Lortab has 500 of it. They BOTH have Hydrocodone NEITHER one has ANY codeine!!! It just depends on which one your Doctor orders for you. The Norco has sht MOST Hydrocodone - 10. Whereas the Lortab that you mentioned has 7.5 - Hydrocodone. Just remember the this is HYDROCODONE and NOT Codeine. :) The reason I know this is because I've been on both of these exact meds.
Avatar f tn btw, hydrocodone does not contain acetaminophen. Medications like Vicodin and Norco contain both hydrocodone and acetaminophen, but hydrocodone is itself a semi-synthetic opioid, similar to oxycodone.
Avatar m tn what is the difference between addiction and dependence? I was reading another post and someone mentioned that he/she thought someone was dependent not addicted.. I'm just curious. Thanks in advance for any responses.
558096 tn?1255887002 Actually the molecule difference between oxycontin and heroin is 3, not so similar with percacet .......... and how you use i.e orally snorting smoking oxycontin has a huge impact on your addiction and the tolerance and the effects on your body. There is a difference between these drugs.
1508881 tn?1313114901 I've switched between norco vicodein, codein, tramadol and percocet when the meds aren't working. All are short acting but after a while on one med it wouldn't work as well so I'd switch. But you could always go to something like Opana ER which lasts much longer. Can't hurt to try something new. If it doesn't work you can always switch back. Right?
Avatar f tn IDK about percocet. I now have a back injury and chronic pain and was previously on Soma and Norco. 2 every 6 hrs. I'm TTC #2 and OFF the Soma, as well as on a lower dose of Norco. It's either I take norco or ibuprofen, and Ibuprofen (and other NSAIDS) have risk of miscarriage or heart issues. So you have to weigh the benefits and the cons.
Avatar m tn I have been taking Norco and Percocet 10mg for three months is it okay to take them together.
Avatar f tn since my last norco/percocet. Feeling healthy. I'm reading your posts everyday and it helps so much. Thanks everybody. Stay strong!
Avatar f tn I have been takeing one or two norco and it works. I have no problems or sideeffects from it. There are days i may take three but that is the max. My primary dr wanted me to try a pain management dr. He told me I am addicted to norco and i have to switch medications. So he gives me morphine. It is way to strong and i fekt like a zombie. Dr said it was not a side effect of morphine It was me coming off norco. I totally disagreed so he put me on Percocet. I think its to strong to.
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.
Avatar m tn My doctor stopped them about one year ago and put me on Norco 7.5. I took 90 a month of loritab and the Norco he only gave me 60 a month. I started buying more to support my habit of six sometimes 8 a day. The reason I am tapering off so fast is I have ran out and no one has any to sell. I do have 3 Norco left but starting to day I am not taking any. I am going to do with out them. My shoulder surgery was may 28.
Avatar f tn I had got cellulitis in my nose & I had already knew I was pregnant so they also knew too.. when they admitted me they gave me a bunch of liquids and also prescribed me norco 5mg. Well hydrocodiene norco. And they wouldn't prescribe anything you can't take.
Avatar f tn What is the difference between Oxycontin and percocet? I mean, I know Oxycontin is slow release, but percocet is Oxycodone and how is that different from the Oxycontin? I thought they were the same only, one was slow release and one was not, but there must be another difference... Right?
15290316 tn?1447023108 This is a topic that comes up alot on this forum....and sometimes I find it hard to see the difference in "addiction" and dependence. I, myself, am an addict and I let my disease of addiction run my life for many years. I am now a bit over 19 months clean, and am very grateful for what I am and where I am. Here's my trouble with the two.....I know many addicts that "claim" that their pain is so unbearable, that can't be without the pills.
