Percocet Apap

I've been taking 15mg of Percocet with Tylenol in them for a year. My dr just gave me a 20mg dose without the Tylenol, but it doesn't seem to be working as well. Why is that? ## The ONLY difference in the two pills is the Tylenol, and 1 of the pills (oxy 20) has 5 mgs more than the Percocet 15? I put the ? Because I NEVER heard of a Percocet 15; only 10, 20 and Percocet 30. Never the less, oxycodone is the narcotic in both pills, and oxycodone is oxycodone. IT'S THE SAME THING BABY! ## The Acetaminophen does enhance the action of the narcotic in some people that take it, so you might be one of those people who get better pain relief if it accompanies the opiate. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nau...

i always thought the 512 percocets were real percocets not generic but found out they were generic. what do real percocets look like and is there any difference between the real percocets and the generics? ## Dr. prescribed Percocet, Pharm gave me generic Oxycod/apap 5-325. They do not work, I think drug store might have gave me wrong pills. They are large, round,one side says 512 the other side is scored. Have I got the right med? ## i have a pill that is thought to be a percocet. I would like to verify this before taking. The pill is small, the same size as a 10mg valium.

My girlfriend took it for a pain killer, as she had surgery on the right shoulder and right knee. Now she has a very bad headache. ## The APAP is just medical speak for Acetaminophen and Oxycodone is a narcotic pain reliever. Yes, a headache can be a side effect of the medication, along with: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth. Read more here: Do you have any other questions? ## I am a 31yo female and I've been taking Percocet 5/325 for about a week now. I have a herniated disk L5/S1 and am having surgery in 2 days to correct the problem but I have noticed that I am starting to feel like I am getting a UTI. I haven't changed anything else in my lifestyle and haven't had intercourse due to back pain for over a month now. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced...

I am taking oxycodo-APAP 10-325 ,a generic for Percocet. It is an oval shape withM523 on one side and 10/325 on the other. My Dr. said I could split the pill if it is too strong. But there is no score line. Can or should this pill be spit to receive half the dosage? ## The best advice I can give is to listen to what your doctor said. From personal experience when there was no score line on a pill I would still cut in half if it was too strong and simply take half the dose. I don't think you should worry if your doctor gave you the ok to do so. After splitting the pill in half, just be sure to follow your doctors orders on when to take the pill every so many hours.

My prescription called for 10/325 and I have for the pass 15 years been taking Watson 932. Now I have a yellow tablet by Alvogen, Inc. with a strength 325/10. Is there a difference? It doesnt have APAP in the description. Please help me. ASAP - I feel something is wrong. ## Hi, Babydoll! I understand your confusion, but it is the same medication. The new one you've received has just been manufactured by a different company. The 325 still designates the APAP in it, which is just medical speak for Acetaminophen and the 10 stands for the amount of Oxycodone, this is a generic for Percocet. Learn more Percocet details here.

I normally take 2 Oxycod/apap = Percocet up to 6 a day. My question is, can I take Oxycodone if I have ran out of my Percocet? ## If you are running out early, then you really need to consult with your doctor, your dosage may need to be adjusted. ## To my knowledge percocet and oxycodone are the same exact drug, one is just the generic name. ## No - Percocet contains both Acetaminophen and Oxycodone. ## what is the difference btween percocet n roxicodone30mg? my dr. just switched me n he told me roxicodone wuz just perc without tylenol ?????can someone help ## Your doctor is correct, Roxicodone just contains the narcotic Oxycodone in a regular release formulation and Percocet contains Oxycodone and Acetaminophen. ## I have been taking percocet for chronic pain for 7 years.

ive been on watson oxy/apap 10/325 for years, and they have always worked wonderfully. last month it was changed to actavis and it feels as if i'm taking HALF THE DOSE! it's HORRIBLE, and not only does it NOT work, it looks just like a tylenol or a norco; white and oblong. my sweet walgreens pharmacist called EVERY pharmacy in my town asking if they carry any watson brand percocet and they have ALL HAVE BEEN REPLACED by this crap brand. i've tried endocet, which is even worse... so now i'm on the hunt to search the town over for any remaining watson. my straight oxy has been changed to KVK brand, and it's nothing like watson, but it isn't completely worthless. i'm so glad i came on here because i really thought it was just me. i thought 'how could i possi...

It doesn"t have apap in the decription. Please help me. ASAP - I feel something is wrong. ## Hi, Babydoll! Sorry about the confusion. No, there is no difference in the medication, Alvogen is just another manufacturer of generic medications. However, the 325 that's listed still means 325mgs of Acetaminophen and the 10mgs is the amount of Oxycodone that's in it. Learn more Percocet details here.

Have noticed an extreme difference in the effectiveness along with suddenly, after as a legitimate chronic pain patient for 15 years with no problems, horrible side effects, no pain relief as if I’m taking a sugar pill. This has seemingly been done behind our backs. We have a right to know what we are dealing with here. ## Hi. Believe this or not I just had a friend that was going through the same situation, and she has a friend that works in a lab he tested it and that's exactly what it was a sugar pill. She has already taken it to a proper lab. She did get her results a couple weeks ago and has one hell of a court case. She's going to win this big time. I dare them to do this crap. So how many other customers received nothing but sugar? SMH!! ## THANK YOU FOR THIS INFO! ...

Generic Percocet is weak, and having trouble finding brand, I'm a BK amputee. Over 20 yrs with severe nerve bundles on and off meds depending on my situation. Only prescribed 60 10mg/ 325 a month and not a day sooner. I understand the need to not to be over medicated very well. I am now left in pain often since there are days where only taking two pills daily is ridiculous. In my line of work I stand for 3+ hrs. at a time. I have had Percocet 30 mg w/ no APAP . Which I harder find and tougher to get prescribed, we are talking about quality of life and staying in the work force so I can pay my healthcare in the first place. Generics leave me taking more pills a day with worse results which damages liver no matter the amount. And Brand Percocet is not covered by co-pay. Do I find a Dr...

I've recently been diagnosed with osteoarthritis and a degenerative disc, and a pinched nerve. Was prescribed this generic percocet 5/325 coupled with Diazepam 5mg. I have been used to Norco 10/325 for a while. Also some much stronger stuff I would rather not disclose. Concerning my dependency and pain level (usually at least a 5, 8.5 or 9 when it's bad) is this enough or am I just gonna OD on APAP to get any effect? Thank you ## The only way to get an answer is by actually trying the medication. No one can know, ahead of time, if it will help you, or how much it will help, if it does.

I got a weeks script of 'endocet 5-325' once I ran out I called to get a new one in which the bottle said 'oxycodone/apap 5-325'. I KNOW they are the same but how come i feel more loopy with the second script when I never did with the first one.. Taking the same amount every day, nor am I abusing them. ## Hello, kk123! How are you? If they've been manufactured by different companies, since this is available as a generic, there might be a little more of the active ingredients in this one. Have you changed your dietary habits, at all?

I had neck surgery two weeks ago and I may have accidentally doubled up on my medication. It is oxycodone/apap (percocet) 5-325 rx'd 1 to 2 every 4 to 6 hours, plus methocarbamol (robaxin) 750 rx'd 1 every eight hours. I may have taken 2 percocets and 1 robaxin at 7:30; then took the same dosage again accidentally at 7:45. For the life of me I can't remember if I had just thought about taking them at 7:30 when I went to take a shower and changed or if I actually did.. and then redosed myself after my shower.. I have not had any all day as I am trying to only take them when absolutely needed. But I had a pretty active day and was hurting so I was taking them to help me sleep.. Just a wee bit concerned here. I am 5'7 and about 215lbs. Thank you for any advice whether it is...
