Percocet Dosage Limits 5/325 (Page 3)
(Newest replies first)

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??

I had a spinal fusion, titanium rods put in a tear above my herniated discs sewn up and I'm still
In pain . My dr thinks I'm seeking too many drugs I'm afraid the surgery didn't work. I can't walk very far without being in pain and I wake up in severe pain. He begrudgingly gave me Oxycodone-Acetominophen one pill twice a day. He said sarcastically I'll refer you to a neurosurgeon if you think I did a bad job. He got me very upset and I was crying he doesn't seem to understand my pain . I was in the hospital seven days and needed two blood transfusions. I'd like to get another orthopedic surgeons opinion but I'm afraid no one else will take my case . Also how many pills as written should I take in a day?

Ruth , each person is different. It also depends on the type pf pain that you're taking the percocet for. There is a difference between your body getting use to the pain meds and becoming dependent on them and you becoming psychologically addicted to the pain meds. Percocet 5/325 one every 6 hours is not much. There are a lot of people that take Percocet 10/325 one every 4 hours. If the pain that you're talking the percocet for is suppose to get better, then you shouldnt have any problems when you no longer need it. If on the other hand the pain you're taking the percocet for is only going to get worse, there will come a point when the percocet 5/325 aren't strong enough.

Will my body become dependant on 2 5/325 Percocet a day? I try to space it out to 8 hrs but I just can't. Have to do every 6 hrs and I'm fine the rest of the day because I go to bed early. I don't want a problem when I stop.

Italian Queen, With the amount you took and the times frames you took them in you were not in danger of overdosing. In the future, if you think you may have overdosed, Do Not Wait for someone on the internet to tell you to go to the hospital.

Bett, just because a prescription says to take 1 pill evry 12 hours does not guarentee that that is an extended release., although they usually are. Some pain drs will only prescribe an immediate release twice a day.

Oxycontin does Not come in 5 mg. So if the prescription bottle says that it is Oxycodone 5 mg/Acetaminphen 325 mg that means it is Percocet Not Oxycontin.

I have back problems and recently became disabled due to extreme pain in leg due to back. I have had one dr prescibe 1-2 pills of oxycodone every four hours needed. And another dr 1pill twice a day both oxycodone both 5mg. Now I'm reading that the 12hour would actually be for OxyContin (oxycodone ER) which would of course be for a higher dose. Could a dr possibly get confused over extended relief vs immediate release

To clear up your question for you, every doctors office prints stickers personally made up for each patient when they are diagnosed and prescribed a medication. The information you see on the bottle has been placed on the bottle by nurses or the docc, and was typed up according to their evaluation of your visit and what they believe you should take. I don't know that this is true honestly.. But after reading and looking at my perscription this is the answer I've came to. It would surely answer the questions in your post if ^ is the case. Hope I've been helpful, I hope that each one of you conquers your extreme pain with strength, that most won't notice, but all in your heart will surely see a totally grateful revived you that you've missed for so long. It pains me to read about all of you with horrible pain that not even percs can fully dull. I pray that a positive endgame to your struggles lay ahead in all of your paths..and I hope my post was of use in some way to whomever reads it.

The pain specialist wont give perk 30tys. I need 4 a day instead of 6 -10mg and 3 -30 mg of morphine every day. It sucks.

Doesn’t dose limits depend on patient specific information, such as weight, age, liver or kidney function, and other metabolic data?

If you get an answer please let me know. I have had the same experience as you. My doctor refuses to increase my dose. It started out 3 tablets a day as needed now it 4. I still taking only 5 mgs. It takes 2 tablets to get out of bed. I'm active heath conscious but the pain is taking its toll. When I get home from work I just want to go to bed. :(

If you take your pain medication before you go to sleep and add something to help you sleep (I take Xanax), unless your pain is excrutiating, you should be able to get a fairly good nights sleep. I have advanced degenerate disc disease, plus I had double knee operations in September 2013 and still experience pain in my left knee, so I have chronic pain. I am on Lortabs 10/325. I take one 3 times a day every 5-6 hours. Since I have been on them for some time now, I have formed an addiction. I will always have pain, but I do have an EMPI machine that you hook electrodes up to your painful area. This helps, but I still need my opiates because if I skip one, man, do I ever feel like crap. If you feel you want to get off them but don't want to go through the "sickness" you will feel, there are clinics that can help you. I'm not sure if I would be able to take opiates for the rest of my life, I am 66 and have liver diagnostics once every 3 months and have been fine, so far. If you are in chronic pain and have been on opiates for more than two weeks, make sure you have your liver enzymes checked. It's the Tylenol in the opiates that is bad for your liver.
