Accepted Answer

Oxy vs Percocet : Percocet is released into the circulation much faster than Oxycontin (if that's what your were on), which is one reason it be perceived as working better.

Highly habit forming.

Question 2

is nucytna better than percocet 10/325?

Accepted Answer

Tough Question: Everyone responds differently so its hard to tell.  Its really a trial and error thing to find the opioid that works best for you at the moment.

Question 3

how long until i can sleep through the night again after stopping percs?

Accepted Answer

Days: There is no definite answer to that. Physical withdrawal may take a  few days to 1-2 weeks in some cases, and this may be manifested with insomnia. Whether your sleep will go back to normal, once that is over, i don't know and no one will guarantee. Psychological withdrawal, however, doesn't stop there and that, in and of itself, may be a stumbling block for your sleep to return to normal.

Question 5

i am on percocet 10/325 for pain but it isn't helping as much as it used to, is there something different i can take or add to, to keep from hurting?

Accepted Answer

Opiates: should only be used for TEMPORARY treatment of ACUTE pain and are a poor choice for chronic use except in certain medical sitiatuations (eg terminal patients) On of the reasons is that opiates often PRODUCE rebound pain and almost always require INCREASED DOSAGE for same effect!
