Percocet Maximum Month

Nov. of 2016 I moved from Pa. to Tenn. out of family need. I am 60 yrs. old and had numerous lower back and cervical surgeries. In Pa. I received 180 percocet 10/325 per month. My pain spec. here in Tenn. will only prescribe 120 per. month saying by Tenn. law this is the max amount allowed per month. Can anyone tell me if this is fact? Thanks. ## Yes, it can vary from state to state. The 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. If it isn't controlling your pain, you may want to speak to your doctor about trying a different medication. Does anyone else have any advice to offer?

I am prescribed oxycodone 30 mg tablets every month. I ran out a few days early and I just wanted to know if I could take 10 mg Percocet in the same quantity to keep my levels up? ## The problem with taking so much Percocet is the Acetaminophen in it. The FDA lists the maximum recommended daily dose it to no more than 3,000mgs and taking 9 Percocet in a day would come really close to that. You might be okay to do this, if your doctor approves, but generally they don't like you to take more than 2, at once. 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. When do you see your doctor for a new prescription? ## Yes BOO, take three Percoce...

I have had the pleasure of eating 15 - 20 Percocet 30 every day for the past month. Well, my luck, and money has run out. I am hurting and don't have anything to fall back on. Last night I got my hands on 20 M362 Percocet ( the big white pills that have 10 mg hydrocodyne + 660mg acetaminophen ) and 20 Adderall COT 135. I also have 4 N8 Saboxine pills. Any suggestions getting thru this detox period ? ## Okay, first you are completely mixing up medications, so I am not even certain what you mean you have taken and what you have now. There is no 30mg Percocet, it contains the active ingredients Oxycodone and Acetaminophen and is only available in a maximum dosage of 10mgs of the Oxycodone. There are tablets that just contain 30mgs of the Oxycodone, so is that what you meant you were ta...

I have been taking oxycodone HCL 15mg for 2 months. Is there a good reason to change to percocet 15mg? What's the difference? ## Hello, Susan! How are you? There is no 15mg Percocet available on the U.S. market. Percocet contains Oxycodone coupled with Acetaminophen, since it can augment the action of the narcotic in some people that take it. However, the maximum dosage available contains 10mgs of Oxycodone and 325mgs of Acetaminophen. The 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. Is there anything else I can help with?
