percocet dosage for children

But I have been on Percocet during my other two pregnancies also, for kidney blockage, and both of my children are very healthy and had no complications (Now 9 and 4 years old :o) I do not take it every day, only sparingly if I absolutely need to (and am thrilled that I haven't needed any of it for two weeks).

m on a program. If he does, will Percocet even work? What would be a good dosage for me? Can anyone help me here? I truly appreciate your time. Thanks a bunch!

I've been on ambien for over a year and just started taking percocets for a knee injury about 3 months ago. i've just tryed to go cold turkey off these drugs just because I know its not healthy. I keep seeking spiritual advice but is there something else that can be done and is it normal to feel so awful.( diahrea, hot and cold flashes, crying uncontrollably, restless legs, and insomnia of course? How long does these awful symptoms normally last?

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?

Yes although dosage and frequency of usage does matter. In my experience morphine, high dosage oxycontin and methadone are the most effective (and the most addicting) pain killers.

Indeed, some very tolerant people can take an extended release 80 mg oxycontin tablet. However, that could be a very dangerous pill for another person, for whom it was not prescribed. And if you cut it it becomes even more dangerous (hopefully this is harder with the newer formulation). Never, ever take an opiate medication meant for someone else. Many opiates on the market are only safe for people who are already "tolerant," and that is a determination to be made by a doctor.

Hi,I read about people on 180mg or 200mg of pills. I take 8 7.5/325 of Percocet, can anyone tell me how many mg I am on?

For most people, as long as you are consistently putting a narcotic into your body, you will grow a tolerance. But I know someone who has taken percocet for over 20 years and has been at the same dosage basically the whole time. Everyone is different. Have you tried medications other than narcotics?

You sound a lot like me. Doing it for the pain and able to cut the dosage down w/o too much problem. For me, I still need it for the pain and RLS. I'm currently taking 1 pill per day in 1/2 dosages. To answer your question about keeping it around the house. I think if you seriously are using it for pain management and none of the over the counter stuff seems to work for you then keeping some around the house is ok.

does anyone know recommended dosage for Watson 749 (Percocet), how often you are supposed to take it?

Today I was offered the lower dosage 5mg/325 pills. I am curious since it is such a lower dosage if I can take one at night to try and sleep until I cant completely ween myself off of the drugs. This has been the hardest struggle of my life thus far and I know with mind over matter I can make it but I'd still like to take these few low dosage percs to try and help ween myself off easier and help the withdrawls.

I am not sure if this caused by the new dosage of Percocet, or if it has to do with the weight I have gained due to my injury perhaps.... But I started doing some research and read everywhere that Klonopin and Percocet are a dangerous mix. I have never experienced any issues before (but I do not watch myself sleep), and I did not experience any issues on Tuesday night......only last night.

So I was clean until about February of this year and have been back on Percocet and Hydrocodone. On average 30 to 40 of percocet and 20 to 30 of Hydrocodone daily. Milligrams that is. I faithfullly read all the posts here and know a lot of you from before. Last night I was reading the post about the Woman taking Suboxone her way, and the replies that all were giving. I have 7--8milligram doses of Suboxone.

Both oxycodone and acetaminophen have long-term effects that need to be carefully monitored by a doctor in patients taking Percocet for chronic pain and include: Liver damage. Kidney failure. Severe constipation. Urinary retention. Slightly decreased testosterone levels in men. Tolerance.

If you look at the label on cough syrup for children, even those typically recommend for age 6 and up (at least the brands I have seen.) When my 2 1/2 year old has a cold with a cough I give him milk slightly warmed with honey in it. I have also given him a teaspoon of honey on it's own. It works extremely well.

Hey I was wondering, is anyone out there willing to tell me what the normal or max daily dosage is for 10/650 Percocet? I guy told me he has heard of 180/month but I would think that is way to much especially with all that acetaminophen. Maybe I'm just clueless, somebody set me straight please.

s not in time released form. The difference is percocet has acetaminophen 325mg to be exact. Increasing the dosage of percocets is bad because of the acet. Alot of times doctors perscribe oxycontin, or roxicets.... because the patients stomach can't handle the acet. It's very hard on the stomach. I hope that answers your question.

I have been taking Percocet 5/325 then after the last mri finding 4 disc blown and pinched nerves doc increased to 10/325 I was fine with the 5 but taking the 10/325 I itch like &*(%^^# I was advised to take benedryl am I allergic?

I was a percocet user 15-45mg a day for six months. Today is day 11 cold turkey for me the worst stuff is over and I feel my self just the sleep is nerve racking.

I went to him for help telling him I have been on same dosage of Percocet for years and it is not working anymore. He wanted me to get on Suboxone. I asked will it help with the pain. He said No it is for people getting off Pain Pills. I felt like he was saying I was an addict and didnt care otherwise, he sent me home saying he would not help me. I needed another Dr. This was Thurs by Monday Night. I was in so much pain and so sick. I could not even hold down water.

They will help you, because abrupt withdrawal may well be dangerous for the pregnancy. You may be able to slowly taper the pills off. Your baby will withdraw slowly with you without any problems as long as you do it under close supervision of your obstetrician or midwife. If you are able to be off of all the opiates by the 20th week of pregnancy, then the newborn's meconium (stool) will be drug free if they should test it.

Hi all, it's me Gretchen. I had my 3rd Nuerolysis yesterday. Lets hope this works for awhile. My question is. My Pain Mgmt DR upped my Nuerontin to 300mg 2x day. He took me off the Valium and Baclofen. He said Valium is not good long term and by upping the Nuerontin I won't need Baclofen. OK. As of yet, no bad side effects, yet I've heard many say things about Nuerontin. Any input would be greatly appreciated. One last thing. I've been feeling amped out.

I had my Percocet RX filled on the 10th of this month in West Virginia, where I have just moved. How soon can I get another Percocet RX filled? In my last state there was a three day rul. So I could get the RX filled on the 7th! It's been a bad month and I'm going to need it sooner than the 10th, so what's the guideline or rule in West Virginia?

Hydromorphone is stronger than Percocets but it seems like your doc offset that in the dosage. If you want to get off you should ask your doc for a taper plan.

The problem is, that I am in severe pain and my dosage needs to be increased but I am afraid to ask for an increase in dosage because he may just shut me off. What are my rights and my doctor's resposibilities?

Hello all. I have been taking percocet once a day for 4 1/2 years on and off (mostly on). It has dramatically helped in times of severe depression, and has been the only drug/medication that has come close to helping with my depression and anxiety. For those years the most I would take was up to 15mg a day. For the past 3 months I have taken around 30 mg a day (3 months ago I had a very physically painful life event and needed more percocet to cover the pain).

30mg of Morphine is small dosage anyway so I think either doctor increase dosage OR switch to stronger opiates for breakthrough. You did not mention what milligrams it is for percocet? OR you choose to cut it down. Whichever you and doctor may decide what it would be best for you.

Last minute my nurse practitioner at my dosage for Percocet 7 to Percocet tens I had an obstruction in my small intestines when I go back into this morning to my doctor they cut me loose and said that they had to let me go because they did a mouth swab drug test on me last month for cocaine in my system it's a lie I don't do cocaine I would never touch cocaine what can I do about this
