Percocet Dosage Limits 5/325 (Page 8)

Updated

I am taking the percocet 512 white tablets 5mg/325 for severe back pain due to degenerating disc(s). I have been told 1 pill every 8 hours, but find the pain so excruciating after about 5 hours that I cannot even stand... even to use the bathroom or shower. My MD cannot get me into a specialist until August, but I am having real stress here. Will it be harmful for me to take more than the one tablet per 8 hours??

Not at all,but just make sure that you don't call for a refill early. If you do then your Dr is going to drop you all together..

I had the epidural blocks (steroid shots)'worked pretty good for about 2 years. Then I went back to my spine surgeo, he did lamenectomies on L4'to S1, both sides, stopped nerve pain on left side, came back on right side, then he did one L4 right
side. No help. Then again L4 on right side. Got most of it but still had some pain pretty often. Learned about neurostimulator on Internet, I got one implanted & I' e had no nerve pain since August 2015!! While you're looking up neurostimulator look up Alpha Stim. I would gotten alpha Stim first if I'd known about it,Alpha Stim is noninvasive and it works!! My psychiatrist has one himsel

I had the same situation! I had herniated discs L-4, L-5 and S1. My dr yelled at me too, I had titanium rods and a spinal fusion also. I thought the same thing that no one else would take my case . The dr thought I was taking too many pain pills but I could hardly walk either. He finally yelled at me do you want a second opinion? I said yes. I was referred to a great neurosurgeon . He did s laminectomy on the same spots. I just had the surgery two weeks ago . I still have some pain but nothing like before . Try a neurosurgeon ! Good luck !!!

Hello Everyone, I have lower back pains I take Oxycodone 5/325 for. Ever since the year 2007. When my pains gets worse I have to take two Oxycodone 5/325 that last me only 4 hours and when my pains come back I take one pill Oxycodone 5/325. I can't take long walks unless I take two Oxycodone 5/325 pills. When I do house cleaning I must take Oxycodone 5/325. Whenever I am not doing anything I take only one pill Oxycodone 5/325. My pains always come and go. Not easy for me. If you know a lower back surgeon/doctor please message me {edited for privacy}. If I had back surgery it might help me have less pains than taking Oxycodone 5/325.

Rhondaspooky62, have you talked to your dr about extended release pain meds ? They last 10-12 hrs and the pain management is more consistent because they last longer.

No! You can take more than one percocet every 8 hours. If your hurting that bad,but just know that your going to run out of your percocet faster by doing that!.. and your doctor will not be happy at all with you.If you do deside too do that. Just be very careful your on a very slippy slop...

Very helpful. I've been on oxycodone for a yr and a half.5-325. The doc says 3 a day. That don't work. I have to take 2 every six hours. Now he busting me down to 2 a day. I'm going to catch hell. My guess is 10-325 would have worked with the 3 a day

I seen the 1 tablet per 8 hour comment above also. And everyone else's post said 1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours. I recently just had surgery "ovarian drilling" and I was perscribed Percocet 5-325 1 every 6 Hours. I can take one and I can feel it kick in but not enough to manage pain. I'm barely about to walk to the bathroom. If I waited an hour or so do you think it would be okay if I took another. Not every time just as needed to ease the pain
