Percocet/long Term

Updated

I have been on percocet for the past 6 yrs now at 10 mil x 5 a day and was wondering does anyone find that they have a need for stronger doses over time? I was switched last yr and had previously been on 10 x 4 a day for about 3-4 yrs so i think maybe this may be about right for the length of time i have been on them..but what happens when they start to be ineffective> I take them for arthritis in neck spine and hands as well as fibromyalgia and scoliosis i also suffer from chronic cluster migraines I am a 46 yr old female.

Percocet contains the active ingredients Acetaminophen and Oxycodone.

And yes, your body eventually adjusts to anything you are taking for a long period of time and will require a higher dosage to get the same results or a medication change.

hi debbie i became addicted to percocet and find i now take 20 almost everyday i cant get out of bed without them the effects wear off after a couple years that is why ive increased my intake ive been on them for only 3 years now for pain in my elbow and shoulder. the street price is crazy so i work to buy pills. i wouldnt recommend any other pills and try and get off them asap they kill your liver

no no I dont buy them on the street no I have prescriptions and have been on them yrs with doctors monitoring i didnt mean that at all > and i have my liver tested every six months and all my tests have always been fine.Just was asking about them becoming ineffective. I have never found they were ineffective i have insomnia so when i am up late i needed to take another pill to last till morning so my doctor instead upped the dose to see if that was better .

I had a positive UA for cocaine. as a non user, was wondering that a topical cream consisting of:
Ketamine,ketoprofen,clonidine,aminitrptylin, marcaine lidocaine&gabapentine. 4 severe neurapathy. Have dermal ulcers so topical occationally gets in blood stream. lanocaine patches used as well.
oral Antibiotics and percoset taken for surgery prep. Wondering if any of these could cause false positive

Ok so if the perks arent working anymore you need to talk to ur Doc. about moving to oxy's. they are less hard on your liver, but more effective.
ALSO i know that Everyone here needs there drugs but I just went through a very painful surgery and my dr. gave me 20 which was a joke considering i have also been a perk user for the past year! would anyone have any they would want to $ell? I live in Alberta Canada but if its worth it I would fly to you :) im struggling with the worst withdrawal plus pain from surgery…, terrible!

I WOULD SAY SWITCH DOCTORS AND TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH THAT IS JUST A DUMB QUESTION CONSIDERING ITS ILLEGAL TO SELL YOUR PRESCRIPTIONS AND TO BUY SOMEONE ELSE'S PRESCRIPTIONS OR PILLS . YOU ARE THE REASON IT IS SO HARD FOR THE PEOPLE THAT TRUELY NEED THESE PILLS FOR PAIN TO EVEN FIND A DOCTOR THAT WILL HELP US AND PRESCRIBE PAIN PILLS TO US ! AND TO GO AND POST THAT QUESTION AND SAY YOU'LL FLY TO WHEREVER THEY ARE MEANS YOUR HIGHLY ADDICTED.., DUMB.., OR YOUR LAW ENFORCEMENT{ AND IF YOU ARE LAW ENFORCEMENT THEN I THANK YOU FOR TRYING TO GET THE ONES THAT ARE SELLING OR BUYING PAIN PILLS OFF THE STREET} BUT IF YOUR NOT GO GET SOME HELP MAN CAUSE YOU ARE TOO DESPERATE AND RUINING IT FOR PEOPLE WHO REALLY NEED THESE MEDS JUST TO BE ABLE TO LIVE THERE LIFE DAY TO DAY NORMALLY WITHOUT INTENSE PAIN. IVE SEEN SOME DESPERATE PEOPLE BUT YOU HAVE JUST WON THE "BLUE RIBBON" FOR DUMBEST QUESTION ON THE INTERNET , CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!! AND I WISH YOU WEL AND IF YOU ARE IN PAIN AND UR DOC WANT GIVE YOU WHAT HELPS YOU TRY A NEW DOCTOR , BECAUSE ITS NOT WORTH DOING JAIL TIME FOR BUYING ILLEGALLY! WISH YOU THE BEST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
