A LORTAB is basically Vicodin (hyddrocodone), whereas a PERCOCET is a more natural opiate, also called oxycodone. Because oxy is less synthetic, it tends to be a bit stronger. Both meds contain the opiate (either hydro or oxy) and acetaminophen (tylenol).
Both are habit forming when used improperly, or for long periods of time.
Hope that helps.
When I was around 22 weeks, I got a horrible burn and had to go into the ER. They put me on lortab and steroids for three days. My doctor said it was fine, just to monitor the baby's movements during that time. I'm now just short of 36 weeks and have had to go into L&D every couple of days to be monitored because of a fairly severe case of preeclampsia. The last time I was there, they gave me percocet for my migraine. My doctor was actually the one who gave it to me.
How long have you been seeing this PM?
My thought is to be completely honest with them and bring in your bottle of meds which will show the one extra pill.
There are only two types of UA tests done..One is the quick pee and evaluate in the Dr's office that just shows the presence of opiates and no other substances...So it won't show the difference between Lortab or Percocet in that type.
I am almost 16 weeks pregnant but I have been prescibed percocet for almost 8 years now if I take them now how will it effect my baby if I stop a couple months before I deliver??
How much oxy are you taking? I would use percocet instead of tabs so u wouldn't have to take so many tabs to help withdrawals.
Vicodin/Lortab/Hydrocodone-2.5 mg, 5mg 7.5 mg,(ES) 10 mg, they come with 500-750 mg of Acetem.
Norco(=vicoden/hydrocodone too) 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, they usually come with 250 mg acetem.(Tylenol)
Percocet/Percodan (Oxycodone) 5mg, 10mg anywhere from 250-750 mg (tylenol)
Oxycontin usually comes in 10, 20,60,80 mg and typically doesn't have any tylenol.
Morphine comes is pill form as well as intravenous for severe pain.
First, is your son taking the lortab as prescribed and ONLY as prescribed? If so, that's not addiction. It's physical dependence which is a normal result of opiate therapy. If he is misusing it by taking more than prescribed, running out early, supplementing with street drugs or taking them with alcohol to get a better buzz then he has a problem. True addiction is more of a mental problem even though there are physical aspects to it as well.
As for my question, before yesterday I had been taking lortab and percocet for pain, yesterday I was prescribed an extended release morphine and lortab for breakthrough pain. I took the first tablet this morning and I like I am slow, mentally. Is this normal and will it last while I am on this medication? It is not to the point to where I cannot perform my job or drive, etc., but I feel like I just woke up.
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!
I have been taking vicodin, lortab, and percocet (not all at once) throughout my pregnancy with the supervision of my Dr. for a very painful neurological disorder. My Dr's have told me that their only concern is that if we cannot get me off these pills (by weaning) by the time that the baby is born that the baby could face withdrawls.
It started with lortab 5mg a few times a day... Then after a few surgeries later I was prescribed to lortab 7.5 and Percocet 7.5 for the pain. I am about 8 weeks out of surgery, and the dr. Is still prescribing me these meds. Tomorrow will be day 2 without anything. I have asked my boyfriend to hide them from me, because I know that I was getting out of control, and could not believe how many prescriptions these dr. Keep giving me.
I am going to quit taking my medication tomorrow, I have been taking lortab and percocet for 2 years now.The first year I was taking lortab until it didnt work anymore,and I was taking 8-9 a day,then I told the dr. that I needed something stronger,so he gave me percocet 10/325.I was fine only taking about 3-4 a day,but it has progressed to about 6-7a day for almost a year now.
