Avatar n tn My doctor changed my script to Percocet without acetaminophen when I told him the Percocet was making me sick to my stomach and vomiting more often than not after taking them.... so far so good!
1064524 tn?1257199755 It is my understanding that you cannot get either hydrocodone or oxycodone without the acetaminophen. Oxycodone is no longer manufactured without the apap at least it is still unavailable in my state. Hydrocodone is simply not made without the apap. Otis brought up a several good point that I neglected to mention. Primarily all pain medications have side effects, some worse than others. Often how your system reacts is based on ones individual make up. My pain med contains acetaminophen.
1887358 tn?1320931131 I would love to find something that takes the pain away as good as these but without the acetaminophen because I fear about damage to my liver. Well I'll stop rambling on and Thanks in advance to anyone that can give me any tips.
Avatar f tn I have been taking percocet (oxycodone acetaminophen) 5/325 1 pill 3 times a day. That was a great system that worked for me. Recently I was prescribed oxycodone minus the acetaminophen. I understand the risks of liver damage. However, I have had NO relief since I began this new drug. I'm confused because it is the same drug minus the Tylenol. Anyone else experiencing this? Would taking a higher dose of the oxycodone (not Percocet which is oxy with acetaminophen) help me better?
Avatar n tn 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?
Avatar m tn percocet (oxycodone) is immediate release with acetaminophen. oxycontin is just the oxycodone without acetaminophen that has a time release coating on it to make it last longer. both are highly addictive.
Avatar f tn I dont know about percocet but i know i was given lortab during my pregnancy.
Avatar f tn Percocet is Oxycodone and Acetaminophen. Percocet is a brand name and there is no liquid Percocet. There is a liquid version of Oxycodone and Acetaminophen called Roxicet, however. It's not necessarily measured in mg's though. It's measured in ml's in which 5ml contaings 5mg of Oxycodone and 325mg of Acetaminophen. Now that I've written all of that...I have to ask..why do you ask?
Avatar f tn If anything I need to get my meds lowered or get the doctor to write the Percocet without acetaminophen. They do have Percs without acetaminophen. Being an ex heroin user, I know I am addicted to the pain meds and it will be a fight to get off them but I am determined to do so once I can get my back in better shape. Like I said I am just worried that the Percocet I take now is damaging my liver.
Avatar f tn t know what opiate you are taking but such meds at that contain hydrocodone and acetaminophen like Vicodin, Lortab and Percocet can come with as little as 325 mg per tablet of the acetaminophen. I had hoped for years that they would remove this from hydrocodone as they have from oxycodone but all I've seen is the decreased amounts of it. If possible request that your acetaminophen dose be lowered, it doesn't have to lower the opiate ingredient.
Avatar f tn I have finally been switched to Oxycodone IR, which contains only the opioid that is present in Percocet without the tylenol. I never take more than I am supposed to and many times I take less but I now have the peace of mind that I am not doing harm to my liver. Lastly, it is important to note that those with liver impairement should NOT be taking any Tylenol combination products. Diseases such as Hepatitis C fall into this category.
Avatar f tn my mother is 79 years old and has a really bad back and osteoarthritis, she was put on percocet 5 years ago and it is up to 7-5/325 milligram 5 times a day. I am concerned because my sister has cut her down 50%the past two days and my mother looks worn out.
Avatar f tn Like the other posters said, Oxycodone does not have acetaminophen in it and Percocet does, which can be harder on your liver. It sounds like your Dr is willing to work with you on these changes. Maybe try what the other posters said and cut your pills in half to see how you do on them. You might do just fine or you may need an increase but really think about doubling it right away.
Avatar f tn Jean, I am glad you are trying to get off the Percocet. I believe the highest dose available in US is 10mg of oxycodone/ 650mg acetaminophen. Thus, not only are you taking a lot of narcotics, you are also overdosing on Tylenol that can actually damage your liver. The best way for you to proceed is to slowly taper the dose, never taking above the recommended amount. Wright out a table for yourself, i.e.
Avatar m tn You have a good size habit going - not to mention the amount of acetaminophen that you are consuming - - without help you should probably try to taper down. But virtually all of us with that size habit are terrible at doing a taper.....You should probably find someone that can help you by dispensing the pills on a schedule. Stop taking large amounts at once and start spreading them out more over the day. Stop spiking your serum levels essentially.
Avatar f tn Is it safe to take 800mg ibuprofen & 650mg Percocet (each pill 325mg) together at once?
Avatar m tn Hello ScaryO, Welcome to the Pain Mangement Forum. I am sorry that your pain meds are no longer effective for you. many of us face that fact after years of one medication. I assume that you know that Darvon is available without acetaminophen. I don't know what dosage you are on but if it is a small dose simply requesting a higher dose without the added ingredient of acetaminophen may be a good choice. I think we all would agree that Darvon is one of the weaker narcotics available.
Avatar m tn Annother Question, Will Percocet 10/650 make the pain less than Percocet 10/325 , Also will the 10/650 make you more sleepy or tired , I really than everyone for all the help and for Replying
Avatar m tn can i fill a prescription for percocet 9/29 even though ifilled a prescrition for vicodin on 9/27?
1264863 tn?1391118193 There is deff a liquid oxycodone hydrochloride, I know this because I use to get the official bottles. One ml is equal to one mg. It came in 600 ml bottles. However Vicki maybe right since there is no Tylenol/acetominophin in it, afterall that is what make percocet percocet. Either way I don't believe it would be beneficial in tapering just because it would be easier to justify taking more. Just my 2 cents.

Avatar m tn Significant - Monitor Closely. Significant interaction possible (monitoring by your doctor required) sertraline oral and hydrocodone-acetaminophen oral sertraline oral will increase the level or effect of hydrocodone-acetaminophen oral by altering drug metabolism. ZOLOFT AND PERCOCET: Significant - Monitor Closely.
890900 tn?1284577303 ADELPHI, Md. - Government experts say prescription drugs like Vicodin and Percocet that combine a popular painkiller with stronger narcotics should be eliminated because of their role in deadly overdoses. A Food and Drug Administration panel on Tuesday voted 20-17 that prescription drugs that combine acetaminophen with other painkilling ingredients should be pulled off the market.
