Percocet Dosage Limits 5/325 (Page 9)

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??

No, 2 grams is generally the goal. 4 is the limit.

Jen, sorry you have so much pain. Keep your acetaminophen under 3000 mg in 24 hours. 4000 is the absolute limit, but I wouldn't go there. Are you a candidate for surgery for any of those issues?

2 nights ago, I overdosed on 90mg of percocet , but never received medical attention.. My breathing is still real shallow feeling, will i get over this?

Daisy, you need to see a doctor ASAP. The amount of Tylenol (Acetaminophen) you ingested could cause severe health problems in the future.

I agree 100% with your opinion. I also would rather be addicted than in severe pain . I have stopped several times but I would rather be addicted than in severe pain . I have had injections but relief was for about 3 months . My doctor wrote prescription for 1 every 12 hours so I run out before the 30 day prescription can be refilled . That sucks . Politician and lawmakers don't get it . Wish they were in severe pain and they may see things differently . The do not understand !

Re: Jan (# 12)

I am having the same problems. But my doctor won't prescribe me what I need. I'm the same anti inflammitories, anti depressants, I've tried lyrica and cymbalta. None of it works. Only the narcotics ease the pain. Fibro is terrible. I have had it since I was 17

I made a mistake today and took two percocet 5/325 blue pills for chronic pain after my 2 surgeries. Am I at risk of an overdose?

I've read all the comments. I take the 5/325 Endocet a morning and at night with maybe one in between if needed. Is that same as percocet? Mine is a hip issue and lower back. If it is the same, is that safe or addictive? Also, what is a Tylenol overdose and the symptoms? Besides liver damage, why is it dangerous?
