Percocet and schedule
Common Questions and Answers about Percocet and schedule
percocet
Good luck to you Audrey --- Yes, it is doable -- just rather tough at times. It is good to let someone else hold and dispense your pills too --- Actually Percocet is a stronger drug than Hydrocodone so if you have that it would be better to WD from. The main thing is to set a schedule and a 'quit date' is very important.
Percocet, Morphine, Oxycontin, Fentanyl and others. They can only be prescribed by a written script (no phone ins, no faxes) and they MUST be PRINTED. There is NO refills given on a Schedule II drug. It requires a visit to the Dr. monthly.
Schedule III Opiates are: Vicodin, Vicoprofen, Tussionex, etc... and thay may be called in or faxed in to a Pharmacy and can have up to 6 refills.
Schedule II drugs are usually narcotic, stimulant, and depressant drugs. These include drugs such as Percocet and Ritalin. There are many more.
Schedule III, IV and V Drugs include those containing smaller amounts of certain narcotic and non-narcotic drugs, anti-anxiety drugs, tranquilizers, sedatives, stimulants, and non-narcotic analgesics. Valium, Codeine and Vicodin are some examples and again there are many more.
I'm sure you know that Gabapentin is not a scheduled drug.
It is also HIGHLY recommended that you have someone hold them for you and dispense them according to your schedule. Tapering is hard and more people then not do not succeed at it. I am one of those people. You will have cravings as you begin to drop and unless you know how to deal with them you will be in big trouble.
What concerns me is that you are already talking about not making it with the tapering and you are considering getting another refill if it doesn't' work.
By the way, take some major pain meds like percocet and muscle relaxer and a motrin 800 combined. It wont kill you trust me, my doctor put me on flexiril, percocet, and motrin 800 and insisted I take them at the same time. It will ease the pain a lot a it will help with your uterus contracting. It also relaxes you and will help you sleep through it. Good Luck honey and sorry to hear that.

You have a good size habit going - not to mention the amount of acetaminophen that you are consuming - - without help you should probably try to taper down. But virtually all of us with that size habit are terrible at doing a taper.....You should probably find someone that can help you by dispensing the pills on a schedule. Stop taking large amounts at once and start spreading them out more over the day. Stop spiking your serum levels essentially.
I am also prescribed percocet and I get 150 pills a month and I take it in addition to extended release morphine for chronic back pain. On average, I take 25 mg of percocet daily and up to 30 mg a day along with 60 mg of morphine per day. I have never had a morning after headache from the percocet.
The maximum dose of acetaminophen that can be taken daily is 4,000 mg. So with 325 mg in each pill, you took well under the maximum dose.
I've been seeing my pain dr for 21 years. I have multiple spinal issues and neuropathy pain, and a 4 level spinal fusion.
I'm having a problem getting my latest prescription because of an insurance issue.
Normally, I pat $4 for a 30 day supply, because I get a tier exception, but because of the new year, the tier exception didn't go through in time to get my new script.
I applied my last patch on 1/5.
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.
I have been taking Percocet and Norco for two years but it has been well over a year now on a daily basis. It ranges anywhere from 40mg up to 100mg a day. I am constantly thinking about quitting but not sure how and I am worried about withdrawals. Every night before I go to bed, I tell myself tomorrow is the day I quit, and yet that hasn't happened yet. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I am on Percocet 10/325 and have been for 1.5 years for neck and back pain. I read some of the posts and someone suggested using Jeffjeff's method but I couldn't find it. If anyone has it, can you email it to me at ***@****.
I've tried going off this stuff cold turkey and the withdrawal symptoms are way too overwhelming. I can't do it. It is literally torture, it is hell! I'd much rather deal with the pain than be a prisoner to Percocet.
I decided to try the tappering but on about the second week I ran low of cash and could not stick to the schedule and could only get about 3 pills one day - when tappering you cannot go from 6 to 3 pills, anyway, this messed up the whole schedule and after having severe withdrawal, when I did get the money the dosage went back up. My w/d's consist of the sweating, rapid heartbeat, shaking inside and out, diareah, no appetite etc ...
I don’t know how often you are supposed to take the Percocet per day- how many tablets/per x hrs, but it is likely the results will be lower than they should be given your dosing schedule. The 2634 nanograms/per milliliter of urine is a measurement of how much Percocet was present in one milliliter of urine.
t at all and was able to enjoy my baby. I only took one percocet after leaving the hospital and took the motrin for a few days. I do have a high pain tolerance though. I'm 3 weeks post partum and I've been moving around well for over a week. I'm still a little tender, but for the most part I feel normal.
So I’ve been taking pain meds for nearly 7 years for medical and then recreational use. Was recently averaging 100mg daily of Percocet. I do have a legal script and continue to misuse my meds. Finally have came to the crossroads and ran short on meds. Made the decision just days before that this is and started weaning down somewhat. So withdraws began during the weaning process about 72 hours ago. Took 45 mg yesterday and down to 10 mg today @ 630 AM; now 1:16.
I hear you Chris... i remember the angst i felt when I was running low. It literally drove me nuts. Since you can't get them to Thursday, you will be just at the hardest point, and weakest. Go and look up the Thomas recipe and those items will help. Sleep will be toughest which will compound anxiety. It'sthe crossroad... just continue to search this forum and get as much information as you can. Write down how you are feeling and reach out to all of us, we have been there!
Tramadol is now actually a schedule 4 controlled substance, Hydrocodone combination products were just recently changed from a sch 3 to 2.
But that does diminish the fact that it's a very nasty drug, with horrible withdrawals.
Two weeks ago my doctor of 8 years told me there is nothing more he can do for me. Handed me a script for Percocet since I had not been on those for over 6 years and a referral to a pain clinic. Well I tried to wean myself from the morphine, and its not going so well. I filled the Percocet script but didn't take any while I was weaning. I am on hour 33 without morphine. I took a Percocet to see if it would help the withdrawal symptoms, but it didn't.
