Vicodin And Percocet Together By Mistake

I took a vicodin 5 at around 11 sm at around 1 pm I went to take another vicodin but picked up the wrong bottle (my husband had surgery and his dr gave him percocet). Since they looked the same, I didn't think about it until I put the bottle away and noticed my husband's name on it. The percocet is 7.5. I only got three hours of sleep last night, so I don't know the reason why I am so lathargic. I also have hypokalemia due to medication, so my system is very sensative. I don't even take asprin because of that, but I am in so much pain my dr prescribed vicodin 5. Should I be as concerned as I am? I am not a pill person. Thanks!

REPORT

For 9 months I was on both Vicodin 10/325 and Oxycodone 30mg. Both meds were prescribed to take on a daily basis as needed--separate or together was up to me. No problem with taking both at the same time - I was told this from my M.D. Yet I believe other doctors would have a different opinion. While I always felt great from Vicodin and remained my normal active self Oxycodone has turned me into a TV zombie. I would definitely increase the Vicodin before taking any Oxycodone. You can take up to 12 Norco 10/325 daily. The limit being set by the acetaminophen (Tynenol) which is 4000mg. The thing I regret most is I did not know the physical addictive powers Oxycodone has - after all I was taking those 12 Norco daily for years with no withdrawal issues what so ever.

@Deedee,

Seeing the response from post #1, my perspective on the situation is that you'll probably be just fine after the effects of oxycodone wear off. However oxycodone does list nausea, stomach pain, weakness, lightheadedness, and dizziness as general side effects on nih.gov (among several other undesirable symptoms) - which could potentially be the reason why you feel so lethargic, since your body isn't used to this drug. Overall though, it sounds to me like it's going to be just a matter of letting the medication run its course. I hope you're feeling a lot better since you last posted this thread!

I take about 12mg of Subutex each day. I'm switching to perks to help more with the pain. How long do I have to wait to feel the oxycodone 10mg

Re: Missym82 (# 4)

Subs are much stronger then percs so you not benefit from what you are planning to do and will deffinetly go into withdrawals if you go off the subs.
