Avatar f tn Hi, I am a 32yr old female who has been on pain meds since 2008 from a terrible accident. I'm currently on Percocet 10/325, 30mg Oxycontin CR, 1200mg Neurontin 3x day and Zanaflex. I was recently diagnosed with Graves Disease which is an autoimmune disease associated with ur thyroid. I have noticed that I'm needing more pain meds than normal to relieve my pain. My question is, does this disease affect the relief I am supposed 2 be receiving from my normal dose?
Avatar n tn Heart palpatations and irregular heart beats are a serious side effect of the medication. Since your friend has been taking percocet for years, he/she is addicted to the medication. When the medication starts to wear off, he/she is experiencing a withdrawal which can cause heart palpatations and irregular heart beats due to anxiety. Here's a list of side effects and severity: http://www.webmd.com/drugs/drug-7277-Percocet+Oral.aspx?

486919 tn?1280184140 Hello, I'm having problems with my metabolism. I'm a very big man, over 300 lbs, but very active. Most people can't believe how much i weigh when we talk about size, most people think I weigh about 250. I have been dieting for about a year and have lost over 30 lbs.. But in the last 3 or 4 months, my weight has moved up and down. I'm at 329 right now and it has moved as low as 315 to as high as 335. I have not changed my diet and have even tried exercising a little bit more.

Avatar m tn ve been taking Percocet off and on for pain for about two weeks now. When I take it, I get really bad myoclonus jerks. Last night was the worst. My whole body convulsed and my arms flapped like a bird. Scary stuff, but when I don't take it, the pain in my back keeps waking me up.
Avatar f tn If you really want to kick-start your metabolism, you may also try dividing your meals up into smaller portions that you eat more often throughout the day. Every time you eat, it helps your metabolism rise, so as strange as it may sound, eating frequently can help you lose weight or maintain a healthy weight. Take care!
Avatar m tn Significant - Monitor Closely. Significant interaction possible (monitoring by your doctor required) sertraline oral and hydrocodone-acetaminophen oral sertraline oral will increase the level or effect of hydrocodone-acetaminophen oral by altering drug metabolism. ZOLOFT AND PERCOCET: Significant - Monitor Closely.
Avatar f tn A week later and while on Percocet 10mg 4x a day and fentanyl 25mcg/hr I went into withdrawl so sever that I had to go to the ER and almost needed to be admitted do to my heart racing at 180bpm. Then hospital ran a UDT and found nothing in my system, so they stableized me on dilaudid, and said that I was in withdrawl. Then next day I went back to my doctor and got another UDT which is very specific and it showed that I had a 30x more norafentanyl which is the main metabolite of fentanyl.
Avatar f tn with severe degenerative disc and arthritis in my neck and spine about 4 yesrs ago. Last 2 years been on heavy Vicodin and now Percocet. I have a huge tolerance and metabolism so I've always baffled docs with the ll evel of med I neef. Thanks fo reading. I hate hate these addicting, miserable pills. Even if they help the pain...I despise the psych addiction and always fearing Ill run out before day 30. Always looking at the bottle. Always taking one too many. I want off.
Avatar f tn org/posts/Pain-Management/My-Dr-gave-me-a-mouth-swab-test/show/1801289 Hydrocodone (Vicodin) works better for me than Oxycodone (Percocet). That makes no sense to most ppl or even physicians that do not consider the metabolism of opiates in an individuals systems. In short, it's not prudent to suggest a specific opiate for you. It all depends on your metabolism of drugs. There are many ppl that find Fentanyl Patches very effective, I'm not one of them. I agree with Remar.
Avatar f tn I'm a 29 year old female and three months ago I ended up in the ER with a micro-perforation of the bowel. Previous to this I weighed 144 pounds (I'm 5'7) and my diet was just whatever I wanted, mostly crap food. But it wasn't an issue because I have a fast metabolism and I didn't care much about what I put in my body. I am also a smoker. Luckily, I didn't have to have surgery for my perforation - it healed up over three days of intravenous antibiotics in the hospital.
Avatar f tn If so,after how long is Minoxidil excreted from the body? What is its half-life and what is its duration for metabolism? Thank you.
Avatar f tn I have a very high metabolism and am considered "underweight" for my height.
1099201 tn?1338180918 . Is it common when having a thyroid problem to not have much of an appeitite. My appetite is not much. You would think I would have more of appetite condsiderng all the excercise I do, At least 3 to 4 times a week I either do water aerobics, walk or ride the stationery bicycle. So it is common to have a slower metabolism with Hashimoto's and not feel hungry after not eating very much.
Avatar n tn Our goal is to correct the hypothyroid response in a weight loss patient and return him/her to normal metabolism so that the patient feels normal and is better able to lose weight and maintain that loss.
Avatar n tn I bet in ten years the medical community will know a lot more about whether and how the virus affects the metabolism, and whether and how that changes after SVR.
Avatar f tn I only started taking percocet yesterday, after suffering for 4 days with severe pain. I had tried everything, NSAIDS, hot wet compresses, I went for massages 4 days in a row! I'm going to have to go back and get an MRI, but in the meantime, I need to take the percocets. I just don't know if I should continue taking the subs while I am on the percocet. I want off the subs really bad, but I only got 15 percs and I don't know how long it will take me to get another Dr appt.
