Question 1

was taking 4 percocet 39mg and 10 hydrocodone 10mg dropped me to 3 percocet 20 a day having a tough time its not enough dosage  been taken for25 yrs n?

Accepted Answer

Medications: Firstly you should never have been on such high doses and also on two short acting agents at the same time. You will have a major problem getting off or reducing the doses. I would strongly suggest you seek treatment with an addictionologist - you may be better off with in-patient detoxification.

Question 2

is it ok to consume alcohol 24 hours after a percocet dosage?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Alcohol can be additive to the sedation and respiratory depressant effects of percocet. Therefore the warning not to take these two together. After 24 hours there should be no significant danger.

Question 3

safe dosage of percocet following tonsillectomy of 55 yr old woman?

Accepted Answer

As prescribed: The surgeon that performed the procedure must have prescribed the dosage on your bottle and the pharmacy would only fill it out with specific instructions on how to use the medication. Assuming an adult in a good state of health the typical dosage of the 5mg/325mg tablets is 1-2 tablets every 6 hours.

Question 4

i take 600mg gabapentin 3x a day and i have not taken a dosage yet. i am in a lot of pain and would like to know if it is safe for me to take a 5mg percocet?

Accepted Answer

Should be: When multiple medications are needed for the same reason, especially pain, it's advisable for a single doc or dr group to be managing them all. This helps ensure that potential interactions are tracked which improves safety.  That being said, it's common for percocet and gabapentin to be prescribed and taken together, and the combination is generally safe but can be quite sedating.

Question 5

can you take ibuprofen and percocet together? maybe ibuprofen between percocet dosages? thank you!

Accepted Answer

Yes: There is no drug interactions between Ibuprofen and percocet, so they can be taken together.

Question 6

i take 1.5mg of klonopin (clonazepam) daily. took my .5 dosage in am. took 5 mg percocet for back pain 6hrs later. can i take anymore klonopin (clonazepam) today?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If u have been on that dose of Klonopin (clonazepam) for a while then taking the  5mg Percocet for pain should not be a problem.  The issue arises if u are not tolerant to the medications and you mix them - especially in high doses.
Hope this helps.

Question 7

can you tell me about post-op jaw surgery, percocet 2.5/325 dosage--please help!?

Accepted Answer

Post-op jaw surgery: The surgery produces soreness in the muscles, jaw, as well as the lips, nose and other areas of the face, it can be difficult eating, drinking, and brushing your teeth. The pain will usually disappear within 2 to 3 weeks. Remember, postsurgical progress is sometimes uncomfortable, and may occur slowly. Follow the instructions given to you by your surgeon. Take care.

Question 8

i was prescribed 7.5mg percocet for tmj pain, i'd rather not take this anymore. 600mg ibuprofen didnt help, should i go higher dosage?

Accepted Answer

Who is treating you?: Pain killers do not solve TMJ disorders. You need to see a dentist who can evaluate your teeth, bite, and joint to determine what may be contributing to your pain and what treatment will alleviate your symptoms. Please call for an appointment ASAP

Question 9

which is better for chronic pain. percocet 10/325 6 times a day or ms cotion, and what dose of ms cotion would be equal to what i'm taking?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Depending on source of pain opiates alone may not be the best solution. Opiates are best for muscle, joint, bone and soft tissue pain. Studies have shown better efficacy for chronic pain using long-acting opiates such as ms contin (morphine) relative to short-acting opiates like percocet. Short-acting opiates have greater risk of toxicity and are typically used for breakthrough pain.

Question 10

i just refilled my monthly percocet yesterday. i had been out for seven days, when i took my first dose(two 10-325)i was nauseous, 2nd i threw up. why?

Accepted Answer

Opioid side effects: The most frequent minor side effects of Percocet  is nausea, vomiting or constipation. About 25% of patients using opioids will experience some nausea. These side effects may occur in people taking opioids because of the way the opioids work on the CNS.
