Percocet is a Brand name, but the two analgesics in the medication is 10mg of oxycodone, and 350mg of acetaminophen. So the Dr. has actually increased the opiate oxycodone, but the acetaminophen is no longer being used. You may want to try adding some Tylenol, but if you are taking this medication for an extented amount of time your Dr. is trying to prevent any damage to your liver, which the acetaminophen can do if used to much. You should talk to your Dr. about the problem.
Believe it or not the Tylenol in the percocet actually increases the effects of the oxycodone, and just like me the doctor might switch you from percocet to just strait oxycodone 15mg, you will see a difference, if i were you i would take 1 regular stregth Tylenol with it 325mg, and you will see a difference.

Is oxycodone hcl available without acetamenophine?
Sure. Oxycodone and Acetaminophin (Tylenol) is known as Percocet. Oxycodone is prescribe by itself in the normal dosage that is in Percocet: 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10mg tablets. Doctors usually prescribe the combination drugs like Percocet or Percodan (Oxy with Aspirin) because the combination of the two work better at reducing inflammation, which gives the Oxy a better chance to relieve pain.

Which is stronger Percocet or Vicodin?
Percocet are much stronger then vics. They contain Oxycodone which is a more powerful drug.Vicodin and percocet are about the same,your body metabolises different from everyone elses. While Vicodin might work really well for me percocet might work better for you.

Is there a reason your system can better tolerate percocet than Oxycontin?
That depends on what you mean by "tolerate." There are usually many more milligrams of oxycodone in an Oxy-Contin than in a Percocet because the Percocet dissolves all at once, but the action of the Oxy-Contin is sustained for many more hours.
Any problems with switching from 30mg of percocet to 30mg of morphine?
There's no such thing as a 750MG percocet. A 5/500mg percocet has only 5mg of narcotic, and 500mg of Tylenol. The 750mg you are refering to is the amount of Tylenol in the percocet, not the amount of narcotic. However, morphine and percocet can be mixed at low doses. I just want to add that yes there is an es form of percocet called ultracet.

Is oxycodone 5-500 stronger than percocet 15?
Take 25mg. Oh my GOD you might get really sick from all the acetaminophen in it you got to think 500 mg's per every 5 mg and 650 mg's per 10 mg pill so be care full on these answers. I would say take 10 mg's your first time. Then and only then if they dont give you your desired BUZZ, take some more but give it a full 45 mins before you do take more, so you can fully get the first one in your system.
