percocet vs demerol

Fentanyl is a stonger form of an opioid. Opiate and opioid mean the same thing: Opiate is an adjective while opioid is a noun. Percocet is an opioid as is fentanyl. They are synthetic which means they are man made and not derived from a plant. Good job on getting off the Percocet!

There are a couple differences between medications that are worth noting; meperidine or Demerol should be avoided in the doses you are describing, as the primary breakdown product, normeperidine, is neurotoxic and causes seizures; Codeine is not a good choice at these doses as it just does not have that much potency; Morphine does tend to cause more stomach cramping and nausea, and is subject to high 'first pass metabolism' that makes oral dosing difficult; Any opiate at these dos

I was just thinking of all the different medications I've been on over the last year or two and the pros and cons to all of them. Then it occurred to me I'd never tried Demerol for BT pain, and now I can't remember ever seeing anyone here refer to it. Has anyone used Demerol? Is it maybe not used for chronic pain for some reason? I remember getting it twice in my life. One was a shot in the bum when I threw my back out about 8 years ago.

i was always wacked. then i was on percocet....i hated those to. After a few different drugs I was put on demerol,I HAD THOSE BEFORE FOR GALLSTONES...WITH NO PROBLEMS! A few years have gone by and over this time i have had 3 different docs....most of them went on to bigger things...other than family practise.All of them have given me demerol for my pain....my family doc now...who i am seeing over 3 yrs now,also has been giving me demerol.

s rare in my state that Demerol or Dilaudid (5 times stronger than Morphine) is routinely prescribed for CP. According to my research Demerol is not as strong as Oxycodone or Morphine but again everyone responds differently to different medications. Demerol works better for me than Morphine does, and that makes no sense either. Tramadol is a non-narcotic and works well for some ppl. It does have addictive qualities in spite of it's not scheduled status.

We are currently down to about 60mg a day and are running out of supply. We do have some 50mg Demerol and was wondering if that would help keep the withdrawals at bay and also help us with tapering off.

How well does demerol work durring labor? I'm due in 9 days and I'm still not sure what I wanna take while in labor but I'm leaning towards demerol, so what are pros and cons about it?

i went back to the doctor because im expereinceing pain that is not being remedied by percocet. the scans i had a week or so ago showed that i had a cystadenoma and several cysts on my left ovary which was causing the pain iwas haing the spotting. i had another scan which showd that the tunor had grown significantly since last week and that there is more fluid free flowing in the cul-de-sac. i am scheduled to see a specialist next friday and set up a date for surgery.

Hi everyone. It's been over 3 months since I got off Percocet . All is great and withdrawals were completely gone. But here is my new situation. I've recently had a health problem that causes excruciating pain and the doctors at the hospital gave me Percocet to help minimize the pain. I'm on 1 tablet every 4 to 6 hours and will be for two more days. Total has been about a week.

ve been addicted to drugs for 5 years, Vicodin, percocet, fentanyl patches, demerol, morphine, Dilaudid, and recently Ultram, I was taking up to 25-35 5-mg percocet or 20-30 7.5 Vicodin, I would wear 2 25-mg fentanyl patches while taking percocet. I would go to the emergency room, sometimes in real pain and sometimes no pain at all, after a while a got good at faking it.

m on day 3 too. I was taking Percocet, MS Contin and Demerol for chronic pain due to a kidney diseas but stopped cold turkey on Friday. Like ConstructionJim I needed to separate need from want. Over the last several years it's definitely been more want to me so I felt I needed to just stop completely. Like you I was taking at least 20 percocet a day and when that ran out I'd take ms contin or demerol so I was rarely without something. Hang in there. I'm right here with you.

t have had any kind of withdrawal going to Percocet from Vicodin. Whatever occured was unrelated. Percocet is stronger than Vicodin. Try not to over think this. It will be what it is...it won't be the worst thing you'll go through. Just not pleasant. It's truly like having the flu...

I am having kidney stones and the doctor put me on Percocet and told me to stop the Norco..Is Percocet stronger than Norco? The stones are killing me.

I have been taking hydrocodone for multiple issues for almost 10 years. It doesn't seem to be helping much anymore and I need suggestions on something new to try. I don't want to go to percoset, because it works post surgery where morphine does not. Tramadol causes me to have seizures (they think) so it's off the table, and they gave me demerol for dental pain once but it did nothing. So I'm wondering if anybody has any suggestions on something new to try.

Has anyone been prescribed percocet while pregnant? If so, how was your baby? I'm paranoid to take it.

Ha ha, Vicki. I was just testing you. Tee hee. Thanks for your support. Just struggling with what to take for my headache this morning. Tylenol and a cup of coffee did not work. Don't want to take demerol. I have some ultram and percocet, but both of these (or similar drugs) have caused me several stomach spasms in the past and I am afraid to take them...maybe that's God's way of saying "Don't do drugs".

I personally did not have mood changes in a bad way. My insurance stopped paying for brand oxycontin so I was switched to Methadone for pain management. My mood definitely changed on those. It was awful. So I went back to the oxycontin and pay out of pocket. We all react differently so you very well could be reacting to the oxycontin. However taking a medication and having to take more than what is prescribed is not good for you long term.
