What is too much?I take 10/325 3 time a day ## You should always follow your doctor's dosing instructions. The FDA warns that per dose in any 8 hour period, you should not exceed 1,000mgs of Acetaminophen and no more than 3,000mgs of it in a 24 hour period. Taking too much of it could result in liver damage, liver failure and overdose toxicity, which may be fatal. This medication also carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have fibromyalgia and chronic back pain. My pain mgmt Dr took me off Percocet 5-325 and put me on Tylenol 4. Will I have better pain control now? ## In my opinion there are way too many variables within your question(s) for anyone to give an honest and helpful answer. Because we all react/respond differently, the only true way to find an accurate answer would be for you to go through trial & error and formulate your own opinion. Not only are we comparing doses here, but also the effects of binders/fillers (that some patients may have sensitivities to) altering absorption rates or bioavailability; Not to mention the Percocets contain varying percentages of their main active ingredient from manufacturer to manufacturer... (For example, on NIH.gov's website the Percocet [brand na...

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...

my son has pills in his bedroom and I want to know what they are please ## I don't have pictures to post for you, due to copyright reasons, in addition, Percocet, which contains Acetaminophen and Oxycodone, is available as both a generic and the name brand, so the appearance and markings can differ, depending on the dosage and manufacturer. Here are a couple of examples that are generics, in the dosage you asked about: Round, white, 512 on one side and a score line on the opposite side. Round, white, WATSON 749 on one side, with a score line on the other. Round, white, IP 203 on one side, with a score on the other. And, as I said, this is just a few examples, there are many more. Are there any markings on the pills in question? If you can post back with this information, I will glad...

I accidently took five Percocet in a 3 hour period today from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm. I took two around 12:00 pm and two around 7:00 am. Possibly a total of nine today. I have been on this medicine for 1 year. I usually take two, 3 times a day for a total of 6 per day. Will I be okay? ## I do not want to overdose. This was sincerely an accident. It's been an hour. What would overdose symptoms be. Could 50 mg over 2 1/2 to 3 hours possibly be fatal? Should I go to the hospital? I have tried (with no success) self induced vomiting to no avail. Now I am drinking quarts of water. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you ## Hello, Sam! How are you doing? Did you suffer any adverse effects? How did you end up taking so many? I really can't stress it enough on here, if you're afraid ...

If not how many 5 325 equal 15mg percocet?? Curious as dr said I could take that much but didn't specify. ## Hello, Linda! How are you? First, there is no 15mg Percocet, so I'm assuming your mean a 15mg Oxycodone tablet. The 5/325 stands for 5mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. Thus, it would take 3 of them to reach 15mgs of the Oxycodone, but factoring in the Acetaminophen, you may do well with just one or two. It's also very important not to take more than your doctor has prescribed, because it is very dangerous to exceed 3,000mgs of Acetaminophen in a day. 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 a...

Man I had four different genetic brands. Now taking alvogen 10 325. Percocet 10. man no wonder there so many people killing themselves. everyones genetic med r different. S*** what happen to DuPont they too big to keep customers happy? I had enough. I'm going to ask my doctor to give me morphine. Or back on methadone. Even though they are hard to get off of. That makes five different types of Percocet 10 I had. Watson is the only way. I just do not understand. I guess I have to look overseas. Usa meds suck ## @James, You know big pharma is really making things difficult for pain patients, especially when pharmacies keep switching between different manufacturers to try and save a few bucks out of the hundreds of millions they make in profit every year. If you're able to it sounds...

Hi, it's Kel again. I wrote earlier but now I am here with a different topic amd would like some opinions. I was recently switched (2 days ago actually) from being on Percocet 10-325 4xd to MSContin 15er & Percocet 7.5 4xd for BT. My Dr. was going to go ahead & start me at 60 mg of the MSContin and take my Percocet down. I freaked out due to just beinh another "new" drug. I habe to many chronic conditions to write but I can honestly say I am about to have 2 major surgies. And he is wanting me to get that Neuro Implant device. My question is, this is just my 3rd dose of the MSContin (morphine sulf er 15 mg) and I am truly not feeling that much of pain relief even when I take my now reduced Percocet dosage. I am on other medications as well, Klonopin being one. I think...

I was given percocet labeled 5-325 TABMCK by my Dr and now he gave me 7.5-325 TBWAT. I know what the numbers are, but can anyone tell me what the letters stand for? thanks ## those numbers on the pill are the makers there are many different ones ## The letters stand for the form of the medication and the manufacturer. The first one you had was a TABlet made by MerCK pharmaceuticals. The new ones is a TaBlet made by WATson pharmaceuticals, so nothing complicated. Is there anything else I can help you with?

It said to be detailed, so I hope I didn't end up rambling? I have 3 herniated discs 2 in my neck and 1 in the lower back. Also bulging discs-odd but, never heard exactly how many? Also degenerative arthritis in my entire spine and neuropathy in my feet. More too, but those are the main pain related. I'm almost 70. I have been taking 20mg Percocet 8am and 10-15mg at 4-4:30 pm. When I 1st went to the pain doctor and told him about having stomach ulcers, he put me on 25mcg Fentanyl patches. I felt nothing and no pain relief. He doubled it to 50mcg, same result. Before I went back to him, I researched Fentanyl-WOW! That scared the crap out of me, so when he said he wanted to got to 100mcg, I told him I didn't want to continue with Fentanyl. So, he actually got disgusted looking...

My mom is 75 years old and has never really had to take opiate pain killers in the past. She doesn't even take them after a root canal. However, her hip started giving her trouble about 2 years ago, but just now is having so much pain that she has to take at least one pain pill so she can get up. She has Tylenol 3 with codeine and generic percocet. The tylenol 3 is starting to not control it, but she is afraid of becoming dependent So, big question. How many tablets can she take w/o becoming dependent? I can't get her to take two of either one of the two meds because she is so terrified! She has to get her hip replaced eventually, with pain about every 3 days that is enough for her to be suffering. How can I ease her fears???? ## Hello, Chris! How is she doing? Perhaps the best ...

How many norco 10-325 equal 1 percocet 5-325? ## Hello, Eric! How are you? Each 10mgs of Hydrocodone in the Norco is equivalent to 6.67mgs of Oxycodone in the Percocet. 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.

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 ...

How many tylenol 4 would equal 1 5/325 percocet please and ty I was told 2 tylenol 4 would equal 1and1/2 3/325 percocet ## Hello, Richord! How are you? Each 30mgs of Codeine in Tylenol 3 is equivalent to 3mgs of Oxycodone in Percocet, so no, that information was not correct. The U.S. FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation.

Hi. I am prescribed Percocet 10/325 one tablet every six hours for pain. I've had more pain recently. How many tablets can I be taking in a day? Thanks! ## Hello, Chrissy! How are you?

I am taking oxycodo-APAP 10-325 ,a generic for Percocet. It is an oval shape withM523 on one side and 10/325 on the other. My Dr. said I could split the pill if it is too strong. But there is no score line. Can or should this pill be spit to receive half the dosage? ## The best advice I can give is to listen to what your doctor said. From personal experience when there was no score line on a pill I would still cut in half if it was too strong and simply take half the dose. I don't think you should worry if your doctor gave you the ok to do so. After splitting the pill in half, just be sure to follow your doctors orders on when to take the pill every so many hours.

Where in Las Vegas do I find percocet 10/650. I got it from emergency and no one carries it! Why would an er room write it if it doesn't existing ## It does exist, or I guess I should say that it did up until this point, but the changes going on may be what's making it hard to find and, if that is the case, it isn't the fault of the ER doctor that wrote the prescription or the pharmacies. Learn more Percocet details here. The FDA has requested that all manufacturers lower the amount of Acetaminophen in these combination prescription medications to a maximum of only 325mgs per dose and they are all expected to have it done by January of 2014. This dosage isn't commonly prescribed, so many pharmacies probably don't keep it in stock and if the manufacturer is changing t...

is generic 10/325 percucet just as strong as non generic ## Yes, if you were taking 10/325 non generics then the 10/325 generics are just as strong. Generally generics just use different non-active ingredients, and don't have the brand name. ## In response to what Kitty mentioned about generics and non generics being just as strong, this may be true when you compare 10/325 to 10/325, but in my experience certain inactive ingredients can hinder the bioavailability of the very active ingredients they are mixed with (i.e. not getting properly metabolized). This could theoretically result in one of the 10/325 tablets (usually tends to be the generic version) feeling more like a 7.5/325 or even a 5/325; which is what many patients have come on here complaining about in other related disc...

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 ...
