Percocet dosage range

Common Questions and Answers about Percocet dosage range

percocet

Avatar m tn From your test results your Free T4 was a bit lower than we normally suggest, which is middle of the range, at minimum. Your Free T3 is even lower in its range, which shows that your body is not converting T4 to T3 very well. Free T3 is the thyroid hormone that correlates best with symptoms. Many members say that symptom relief required Free T4 at the middle of its range, and Free T3 in the upper third of its range, or as necessary to relieve symptoms.
Avatar f tn We all need to find our optimal range and not just a normal range. Shoot for a lower TSH and a higher free t3 (will probably have to have t3 added in to get there) with a mid range freet4 and see how you feel? If your doctor will not check the freet3 level, then find one who will.
210982 tn?1280983895 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.
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 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?
Avatar m tn 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?
478811 tn?1208474960 I had major back surgery, a four level fusion, in october 2006. I was given percocet after the surgery, and was told to go to a special pain management place, where i went for over 7 months. because I was active 4 weeks after the surgery, and started to run around and take care of my kids and get back to my very busy life style, I never had real time to relax, and just "chill out". I stopped going to therapy in july, last year, put I continued to need the pain meds.
Avatar n tn I went online to check my lab results on 4-26-13 B12 542 range (211-946) on 10-14-13 4.98 range (211-946) TSH 9-5-12 1.39 range (.27 -4.2) on 9-25-13 TSH 5.5 range (.27-4.2}. All that was done was the TSH. The only one who did a tsh and free t4 was the renal doctor on 10-25-13. I reduced it from 112 mcg to 100 mcg.
Avatar n tn t apply to everyone) is that FT4 should be about mid range and FT3 should be in the upper 1/3 of its range. Your FT4 is only at 36% of the range and we have no idea about FT3, so we don't know if you are converting the FT4 to FT3 adequately or not. You should ask for the FT3 test, next time you get TSH and FT4; if she refuses, you should probably find another doctor, because one who refuses to look at FT3, and/or doses based on TSH, will keep you very ill.
Avatar n tn does anyone know recommended dosage for Watson 749 (Percocet), how often you are supposed to take it?
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar n tn Is that T4 result for free T4 or total T4. Also, what is its reference range shown on the lab report? Have you ever had the most important thyroid test, for free T3 (FT3)? Free T3 is four times as active as FT4, plus FT3 correlates best with hypo symptoms, including low metabolism. If you haven't been tested for free T3, that should be done.
Avatar f tn 40) is 57% of range. You have to divide 1.06 by the width of the range (1.4 - 0.6 = 0.8), not by the top of the range. 1.06 / 0.8 = 57%. In two weeks, it will be how long since you adjusted Synthroid?
Avatar m tn 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!
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!
1327431 tn?1327072104 There is no normal range with thyroid, every person has an optimal range where the have no symptoms, the problem today with thyroid is that many mds still use an old reference range for TSH as an example, some go by .05 to 5.5, some 0.4 to 4.5 and the better one use .03 to 3.
Avatar m tn This drug comes in liquid and tablet suspension. Doses range from 2.5,5,10 which are known as percocet, 15,30 immediate release without tylenol called roxicodone, and the extended release form Oxyxcontin in 10,15,20,30,40,60,80 and once a 160mg tablet called which was removed due to the overdose possibility. Doses above 10mg should NOT be taken by an opiate niave person. I am probably more than safe but just somthing I constantly worry about.
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.
1887358 tn?1320931131 I have tried the chiropractor route and that just made things so much more worse that I know had to have these xrays done to see what is the real problem. My family doc prescribes me Percocet 10/650mg 3 times a day but these don't seem to last more then 2-3 hours per pill and she won't increase my dosage becasue she says she is not a pain mgmt doctor. Don't get me wrong, I love my doctor and will continue to see her for family issues but I guess I need to find a pain doctor.
Avatar m tn 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?
Avatar m tn 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?
692143 tn?1275836577 3 months is ridicules. 6 weeks for retesting dosage change is normal. Have you ever felt OK on the new formulation? Do you understand the importance of Free T3 and Free T4 levels - the actual hormone levels you body needs? Ask your doctor to test these. TSH is just a messenger hormone from the pituitary telling the thyroid what to do - not the best way to test.
600857 tn?1230057770 m in pain, taking pain meds(percocet,ibuprofen and nuerontin) could the increase be causing this, or the abscense of Valium? I'm taking my meds every 6-8 hrs and I can't sleep.
