Sleepless W/percocet

Updated

My husband was prescribed Percocet for pain. When he takes this drug at night, it causes him to wake up every 1 1/2 or so. Is there something in this drug that would cause this?

It shouldn't, it contains Acetaminophen and Oxycodone, it's a narcotic pain reliever and one of the most prominent side effects it causes is drowsiness.

Some people do have an opposite reaction to Oxycodone and get a charge of energy from it, instead of the drowsiness, which is why some people enjoy it and abuse it.

You should probably speak to his doctor about having your husband try something else.

I have used it temporarily for two surgeries. I get very relaxed and it stops pain, but I cannot sleep when I take it.
