percocet

210982 tn?1280983895 Is morphine (avinza) a stronger narcotic than percocet? I have 60 mg tablets of avinza, so if I take one of those, is that like taking 6 of the percocet 10/325?
Avatar m tn I admit my own naivity on the subject, so I leave it to one of you to help understand. I have come in contact with Percocet, which contains 2.5MG of Oxy, but then I also see an 80mg Oxy tablet on the market. Is the 80mg a time released version? Can you cut the pill four ways to instead have 4 20mg doses? Can anyone send me to a decent place to learn about Oxy doses?
Avatar n tn I just dont think telling me I need to get a monkey off my back is helpful, I know there is a problem. I would not be here if I didnt. And this was not the issue anyway, I was asking about dosing so I can start cutting down and tapering. I realize everyone is on diiferent dosages, thats why I gave the examples. I was not judging that, I was trying to figure out how to calculate MY dosage in MG.
Avatar n tn Dr switched me from 20mg percocet to hydromorphone 10 mg what is difference
1667772 tn?1303819811 then I found out my husband was having an affair, then he had to go to court for some other things and I felt I couldnt function without the pills, so I ended up taking more than I was.....I have been taking 10 mg Lortabs (which ran out) so now 5 mg Vicodin and also in between, 5 or 10 mg percocets (whatever I can get from friends)....I decided to cut down the past few days and today I feel terrible....Have sweats, chills,shivering, stomach pains, sneezing & stuffy nose..
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn ve begun taking MS-Contin which is morphine (time released) 15 mg. twice per day. With that my doctor prescribes percocet 10/325 mg. for break through pain. I've only been taking the MS-Contin now for two (2) months. But the problem I seem to be having is that I still hurt unless I take four (4) percocet a day along with the two (2) MS-Contin.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn The potent ingredient in any opiate compound is the opiate. 5mg of Oxycodone is exactly that - 5 mg. Her doctor was trying to lower her dosage, which may or may not be effective...pure Oxycodone (AKA Roxycodone) is "rapid delivery," and is released into one's bloodstream within minutes, unlike Percocet, the delivery of which takes approximately 30 minutes. It COULD work as well for her - (faster!!) but...well, every body is different.
Avatar m tn They have me on 30 mg oxycontin, twice daily, 10/325 percocet 6 a day, soma 4 times daily and xanax 2 mg for anxiety. 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.
1535595 tn?1317990033 Thanks everyone :) my OB knows that I'm on percocet but I hate it when he says 'baby may be a little dependent, no big deal' cause it is a big deal to me! I'm actually working on lowering my dosage from 4-6 10mg to 4-6 5mg and I want to keep lowering my dosage! It's hard cause in dying here but I've rather be in pain than have my baby suffer from withdrawals!
Avatar f tn 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.
1337425 tn?1278173987 I've been prescribed oxycontin, 210 mg a day, plus 40 mg a day percocet, and am now in my 5th day of going cold turkey. Can someone please tell me how much longer this hell will last? I can't get a dr. to contact or help me, so that's why I'm here.
1325672 tn?1290084214 it may take a day or so for the oxycontin to really prove effective. What dosage are the percocets you are prescribed? How many and what mg and how often? I would also stress that you should take your meds as directed...if not, you may jeopardize the relationship you have with your doctor. The doctor can refuse to continue to prescribe for you if you do not follow the directives. Also, in addition to the medications, you should definitely try other pain management methods...
Avatar n tn I have been taking Percocet for a couple years now but never more than 20 mg a day, so with your dosage, not sure what side effects are typical. I do know that I do not seem to have any negative side effects on my current dosage. Regardless, it sounds like it is not the right medication for you. If you are getting your meds from a doctor, you need to ask him about it. Sorry I could not be of more help.
Avatar f tn I had been taking 20 mg opana 2x day along with 30 mg Oxycodone 4x day. My pain management doctor changed my dosage this last month to 40 mg opana 2x day and 30 mg Oxycodone 3x day. I have been on opiate pain medication for about 6 years, pretty much continuously. My problem is that since the dosage change, it seems like the medication is not lasting long enough. I start getting withdrawal symptoms within 4-6 hours of taking an opana and an Oxycodone.
Avatar n tn ambien will help.also, otr stuff diphenhydramine (benedryl) 50 mg or doxyclamine (umisom) 25-50 mg. mixed with the ambien will have an additive effect.Maybe taking it with a glass of wine might help also. Make sure your room is dark,you should put black tape ove those little lights on your tv vcr radio clock. maybe a little loft music on low volume,but try to eliminate any other noise.
Avatar n tn e., with antihistamine chlorpheniramine 4 mg, decongestant phenylephrine 12.5 mg, and cough suppressant dextromethorphan 15 mg, each per 5 mL), then the guideline dose for a 4-year-old is one-quarter teaspoon (the one-half teaspoon dose is for age 6-11 years, while the full teaspoon dose is for ages 12 years and up).
1268301 tn?1270348507 I have been taking Percocet off and on for around two years. After reading many posts from other people dealing with the same addiction, I feel that my addiction is still a small one. I typically take anywhere from 4-8 5/325 mg Percocet on a daily basis. That's about 40 mg. Oxycodone daily for the better part of two years. I need to stop. I have tried many times but never made it more than 24 hours.
Avatar f tn I now am down to taking 50mcg Fentanyl every 72 hrs, 1/2 so 4 mg of Diladid if needed 0-2 a day, 1/2 of Percocet so about 3.5 mg 1-2 daily, Norco 1/2 so 3mg 0-2x a day, Klonopin 1/2 or less so .5ish 2x a day, Valium 1/2 so 5.mg 1-2 x day, Flexeril 1&1/2 daily, Phenergan if needed 25mg 1-3x a week. So obviously a lot of progress has been made in the past few months. I know how to taper off pills but the Fentanyl patch is a *****!!
Avatar m tn can i fill a prescription for percocet 9/29 even though ifilled a prescrition for vicodin on 9/27?
Avatar m tn Oxycodone also has an option without Tylenol. it is available in a 5 mg strength so this may be an option too. You need to discuss this with your doctor and ask him what options he/she can offer. I would highly suggest not going in and asking for a specific drug, this raises huge red flags. Just speak to your doctor and inform them that the Darvocet is not controlling the pain and that your concerned about the Tylenol content on a daily basis and they will adjust your medicines accordingly.
Avatar f tn Hi I started taking percocet when I had all four of my wisdom teeth pulled.I didn't care for the drug at first but it helped.I only had about 15 of the 512 at the time so I only took one or two at a time.Of course I liked the buzz but when they were gone,I didn't care..
