Question 1

what is the definition or description of: percocet allergy?

Accepted Answer

Rash: All true allergic reactions involve dermatological manifestations such as rash and itching.  Usually the rash is widespread, since its systemic rather than localized.

Question 2

what is in percocet and antibiotics that could cause skin peeling? these were taken 2 different times and caused this reaction. no known allergies.

Accepted Answer

That's a big: question! Which antibiotic were you taking? Percocet by itself doesn't cause skin peeling.  You had a dermatitis reaction to something ingested, and need more information as this is a broad topic you are asking about. Did you inform your doctor? Please give us more info to help you better.

Question 3

took 1 percocet 4urticaria dermatitis allergy, was very painful. gave urine sample 2 dr of at least 1yr. nervous meds will be stopped am not drug user?

Accepted Answer

Percocet: I believe that your doctor's concern may not be as much as you being a drug use or not, but where did you get the percocet from?! It is a controlled substance and is prescribed for moderate to severe pain and the person for whom it is prescribed is not supposed to share it even with family members and certainly not with strangers. The person who gave it to you may also lose his/her ability to get.

Question 4

trying to figure out my allergies. i get hives from vicodin, morphine, nsaids, codeine. does that mean also allergic to percocet? how about oxycodone?

Accepted Answer

Likely: The reaction from codeine, Vicodin, Morphine etc are not truly allergic reaction but from these drugs' ability to release histamine from your cells. Thus you will not likely tolerate any drug in the opiate group. NSAIDs can also cause hives (which are considered allergic in some) but more likely aggravates an existing episode of hives regardless what may be causing it. Need more information.

Question 5

i was prescribed 1mg ativan (lorazepam) 2x/day today by a specialist who knows i take 10mg percocet 5x/day. i've read that it is not safe to mix the two and i don't want to cause more problems than i have already. is this safe? what could happen? suggesti

Accepted Answer

Talk with doctor: The combination of opiates (Percocet) and benzodiazepines (Ativan) can depress respiratory function and be a problem.  They are frequently used together however. Adding a sleep aid such as Ambien (zolpidem) makes this even more risky (think of Heath Ledger) so you should discuss your concerns with your prescribing physician.

Question 6

could taking 4 10-325 percocet after not taking for a couple of weeks cause severe night sweats?

Accepted Answer

Possible: But not likely. Given scarcity of information, I suspect the condition that you are taking the Percocet for is causing your symptoms or a different, unrelated condition. Worth checking in with your doc.

Question 7

can percocets cause stomach ulcers?

Accepted Answer

NO: Percocet is oxycodone (an opioid) combined in a fixed dose with Acetaminophen (tylenol (acetaminophen)). Neither irritates the gastric mucosa and therefore will not contribute to ulcers or gastritis. Too much tylenol (acetaminophen) can lead to liver damage.

Question 8

could vicodin and percocet cause psychosis?

Accepted Answer

Highly unlikely: Opioid drugs rarely produce any kinds of symptoms like that, unless the individual is strongly predisposed - a young person with early onset schizophrenia, for example. This reaction is more commonly caused by marijuana or hallucinogenic drugs than by opioids. The use of an opioid antagonist like Narcan (naloxone) in a fully dependent person on vicodin/percocet can precipitate a psychotic delirious state.

Question 9

heard percocet has something in it that can cause irregular menstrual cycles. any truth to that?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Opioids in general can cause endocrine disturbances including irregular menses, low sex hormones due to their effects on the pituitary gland function. So there can be other problems besides menstrual like fertility.You need to be aware that Percocet is a combination of an opioid, oxycodone and Acetaminophen or tylenol (acetaminophen). Tylenol (acetaminophen) in moderately high doses over time can cause liver damage, .

Question 10

can percocet cause a yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

Generally, no: Antibiotics and steroids and a few other Rx's can - but percocet alone is not related directly. Drink lots of water, avoid alcohol and harsh foods or smoking but definitely talk w/ the doctor who is treating you about all of this. I hope you feel better soon.
