How Long Does It Take For The Percocet 10 325 To Work

Was taking perc5-325 for 4 yrs every 12 hrs. Got to the point it wasn't working for me animore .now I'm on ms 15mg twice a day .any suggestions on this pill .kinda a nervous. Thank you. ## Hello, Mariah! How are you? MS Contin contains the active ingredient Morphine. The FDA classifies it as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. It would basically be equivalent to taking a 10/325mg Percocet every 12 hours, however, the MS Contin is time released, so you may get better pain control with it. Are there any other questions or concerns?

I was taking morophine sulfate 30 mg tabs for 3 years, but the pharmacies in florida don't want to fill this anymore, so I went through severe withdrawals for 3 months or so. I'm told i can get back on, but would rather not, so I am now on Percocet 10-325 and they just dont work as well. But my question is this, is it normal to sweat alot when taking them? I can hardly get dressed cause when I do I immediately get another hot flash as I call them. I had a hysterectomy 6 years ago, and perhaps it is form that, but I just figured they would be over by now. And when I dont take them, I feel like my skin is clammy. Is this normal? ## Yes, that certainly can happen to some people that take it. It's due to the way it affects brain chemicals, kind of throws off your temperature reg...

I have been taking Oxycontin and for BTP Watson 10/325 generic Percocet for a number of years; they have always given me some pain relief. The Actavis Percocet 10/325 do not give me any pain relief. Life is hard enough with the stigma I get from pharmacists’, some friends, people in the pharmacies. All the time I wish my pain would go away because it’s very hard to take these pain pills, adding the stigma wow!! I have no other option. Surgeons will not operate they say the odds of making my whole back worse is to high, therapy done it many times doesn’t work. It’s been over 10 years I’ve suffered with what feels like half of a back and life. I can’t do much at all. A number of years ago I tried racing my little daughter my left leg is so weak on my th...

10/325 generic percocet which is the best manufacturer for chronic pain ## Hi Em, Unfortunately because every brand/generic effects each person differently, the only honest way to go about finding out what works best, is to try out different manufacturers for yourself. That way you can also formulate your own valid opinion. What I can tell you though from reading a lot of posts on this site, is that Actavis (Formerly known as Watson) has been receiving a massive amount of complaints lately regarding the quality and efficacy of their generic Percocet tablets. So that's probably one company you'd want to steer clear from based on their recent track record. I hope this helps! ## I am a 53 year old grandmother, full-time student earning my bachelors in psychology counseling, then on...

What does a percocet 10 mg look like? i have one here that has 10/325 and is yellow. Is that correct? ## There are actually many on the market, because it is available as a generic and how it will look, will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. There are also several with the 10/325 marking, so it depends what the other markings are on the tablet. One that is very commonly available on the market in this dosage, 10mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen, is a yellow, oblong tablet with the 10/325 on one side and E712 on the other. Is that the tablet you have? ## The percocet rx I got refilled from the internet are yellow with the imprint E712 or some times white with imprint IP 204. I've found the E712s to be more effective then the IP 204s but they both work just about the ...

I was in an accident and the prescribed dosage isn't working. I have not checked with the doctor. ## Hello, Dee! How are you? The biggest risk is actually due to the Acetaminophen that's in it, because taking too much can risk causing liver damage, or liver failure, according to the NIH. Thus, it is best not to double up your dosage, without your doctor's approval. Are you on any other medications?

Is it normal for a doctor to switch me from oxy 10/325 to Methadone 20 GM's a day? I have severe back pain and the oxy wasn't working anymore after being in it for 6 years! ## Hello, Chrissy! How are you? Did you mean 20mgs of Methadone? It does not come in grams. There is no hard and fast rule for pain management, it is up to your doctor and what they think would work best for you. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. If you're not happy about taking Methadone, then you are free to inform your doctor that you'd like to try something else. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I was strolling through and found this question.. sometimes ...

Now I've switched to Oxycodone 80mg, q12 healing with 10/325 percocet 6x a day. THE OXY is NOT HOLDING Me-- in 5 Hrs I'm in Pain - 6 bad pain- by 8hrs I am crying. I have many chronic pain issues. HELP!! What WILL HELP so I can function and possibly return to work? ## Hello, Lilly! How are you doing? I am very sorry that you're in so much pain. Unfortunately, not every medication works for everyone that tries it. Have you ever used Fentanyl, yet? It is the most potent opiate available, so it may help you. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. ## Talk to your dt about you trying oxymorphone(opana) it's stronger than percocet Momma ## And why does he have y...

I'm needing help to find out which company makes this generic 10mg percocet: Yellow Oblong 10/325 on one side M532 on the other The pharmacy gave them to me the first time, but now they have me on white ones that didn't work. So, when I got my next prescription, I told them and asked for they yellow ones. I didn't realize there was another yellow one made by Endocet (E712), it doesn't work either. I can't find company information for the first one I got so I can ask for it next time. Can anyone help? ## Hello, Raine! How are you? The tablets with the M523 and 10/325 on them aren't hello, they are white, as listed by the manufacturer Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals.

does generice percocet 10/325mg come with a v on it or not and is their a difference in taking away pain as not well if it does ## Yes, there are some with a V logo on them that are manufactured by Vintage/Qualitest Pharmaceuticals, but I can't confirm that's why you have without knowing more details. Are there any additional letters or numbers on them? That's would enable them to be identified. Learn more Percocet details here. There can be some fluctuations, but only within certain limits, so in theory one generic should work as well as another.

I had been taking the Watson's 10 325 round white pill also last month Cvs filled my script with this a333 pill and they not only don't help my back pain but makes need nauseous and dizzy! Wasted $140 because I refuse to use something that does more damage than good ## I take perocet 10/apap and wentto get mine filled and they gave me a different one to it has ip something on it and it does nothing for my pain why do we have to accept meds that do not work please help me to tell what to tell the pharmacy? ## I am very sorry that you've both had a problem, unfortunately, there is nothing your pharmacy can do. However, I would suggest that you both report the issue to the FDA by calling them at 888-463-6332. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit for...

I am looking for Watson 10/325 Percocet and they no longer make them. What about Mylan brand? Has anyone had those- also Amneal is another generic. Help!!! ## My wife takes the 10/325 and has preferred the Watson also. Mylan worked well for her but we can't find anyone near us that carries Mylan. Who are you getting them from? ## I haven't had any personal experience with this med, but after seeing all the complaints against Actavis I think any other brand would be worth looking into. Endo Pharmaceuticals also makes Percocet. I'd just be mindful of the inactive ingredients (binders/fillers) that they put into those tablets, because you never know if something in there could be effecting its potency/bioavailability from the point of absorption. From what I've read, Endo u...

I've been on PAin killers now for around 10 yrs. I started out with loratad 10/500 and they worked pretty good then they stopped making those and couldn't get relief from none of the rest. Finally my Dr.changed me to Percocet 10/325s. Well at first they seem to work then the past few months I can't seem to get relief. He even gave me tramadol to take in between but nothing!! I'm not wanting to go back to PAin clinic ...been there done that..was off in left field for a while but managed to come off all they had me on and was scared of Dr.s for a lil while but the PAin for too much and went to Dr. Which sent me to neurologist in turn has helped me for a lil over 3 yrs now. But the Percocet 10s are not cutting it anymore and scared of what's next. Can anyone tell me wha...

Hello all, First off I'm new to posting here and I must admit this is probably a topic that is quite frequent and I have done days searching but can't seem to really find any info on my specific situation. I apologize in advance for the long post but I will introduce myself and situation. I've been on oxycodone 10/325 for a little over a year now from a botched foot surgery and diabetic neuropathy in this same foot. It helps tremendously and seems to be the only relief I can get is from taking these. Whether its first thing in the morning to be able to stand up and get moving or whether it's to let me settle down and drift off to sleep which is something fairly hard to do. I also was recently diagnosed with PTSD from my job and I am currently out of work for this. It is ...

My dr switched to Oxycodone this month 20 mg. I actually agreed to 10 mg, insurance agreed only to 20mg. I’ve been taking them and I do not like them. I get nauseated and feel weird after taking them. I don’t know why Dr switched? I feel I’m not getting control of my pain as I did with Oxycodone. 12 hours is terrible waiting out! ## If your getting nauseous and feel weird the dose may be too high for you. When you say Oxycodone 10/325 that was Percocet maybe having the Acetamnophen in it helped more with the pain. If insurance only pays for 20mg you could split them and take 10mg if dr is okay with that. You didn’t say if you take it once a day or twice or how many times but if it’s once then split them take 10mg then take the other 10mg 8-12 hrs later, aga...

Doctor took me off percocet 10's and put me on 12mcg fentanyl patches. Will this help? I was taking six percocet a day. ## The only way to discover whether or not this medication will help you is by trying it, but Fentanyl is stronger than Oxycodone. The FDA warns that it carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation. Have you start the patches, yet? ## I was on 100mcg every 48 hrs of fentanyl for 15 years n it worked great. Then they cut me off cold turkey n I had to buy the patches for 1/2 of how many mcgs they were. I saw a pain management Dr to have him put me back on the patches again. He told me the state of Illinois wouldn't allow him to prescribe the patches so he gave me 180 Percocet ...

Just wanted to know which one is stronger and by how much? Thanks, ## Hello, Dale! How are you? Technically, neither. However, for some people that Acetaminophen in Percocet can augment the action of the Oxycodone, so it may be more effective and could be the same as them taking 12 or 13mgs of the Oxycodone. But, it doesn't work that way for everyone. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I'm looking for a doctor that will be willing to help me ## Thats the SAME,DRUG. Percocet is the name brand of oxycodone. ## Percocet is the brand name for a combination medication that contain...

My back pain is through the roof, I fell off a ladder and cannot get a script. I can barely walk let alone work.I have no insure so I'm kinda up a creak and thw doc wouldn't even think of giving me a script ## The highest mg for Percocet is Oxycodone 10 mg/Acetaminphen 325 mg. If a dr has proof that you are in enough pain, they should prescribe you something for it. But that doesn't mean it will be what you want. You can go to a free or sliding scale clinic or a teaching hospital or public hospital if yuo don't have insurance. You will be charged according to your income. They will probably order diagnostics to see exactly what is causing the pain and making it difficult for you to walk. ## Thats not the highest. There is Percocet 30s. People give out awful advice.
