Oxycodone

yes

Oxycodone is very addictive. You should not take it on a daily basis unless you absolutely have to. Lexapro, on the other hand, is not addictive at all. It is a very effective antidepressant.

***I wouldn't necessarily say Lexapro is not addictive, as it is very addicting physically. Abrupt cessation of Lexapro can be very dangerous and usually leads to Serotonin Syndrome, which from experience is not fun at all and can last 2-14 days.

But to respond to your original question, I take Lexapro 10mg and 30mg oxycodone instant release daily and have never had an issue. Though it is always wise to consult your pharmacist beforehand and/or your doctor. Different people react differently.

Oh God yes. I wish I was on that low a dose.

Tolerance levels take a long time at lower dosages to be realized, and even then it depends on the person. Dosage levels can be reduced much easier and faster though.

Depending on how fast withdrawal symptoms come upon you and how bad they are, the easiest and safest way to do it is to drop your dose incrementally over time.

Try cutting one pill in half, and then using 15mg instead of 20 per dose, and see if you can handle the withdrawal symptoms. If not, cut it in quarters, and start with 17.5mg per dose and work your way down. Try decreasing the dose every week at first to see if you can handle the withdrawal, if not extend it to 2 weeks. You get the idea.

If you have a problem with that, you can always get a drug from your doctor to help ease the withdrawal symptoms, but it's easier to do it the way I've listed above.

If you're curious, I've been in Pain Management for over 10 years and I've done that myself. Prior to my last spinal operation in 2006, my L3 disk had finally collapsed, with the vertebrae touching bone on bone. In addition to using between 120/150 Percocet 10/325's per month, I also use Duragesic 100 patches for primary pain. The pain was so bad that I had already had to double my patch dose because I was using a lot more Percocet than normal. When it collapsed, I was using my patches, my Percocet, 100mg Demerol tablets, AND 30mg MSContin tablets. It still didn't help the pain much. In the end I wound up using Prednisone to lower the inflammation enough so the pain meds could work.

It took about 6 weeks and a lot of withdrawals, but I was able to get back to my original dosages of 1 Duragesic 100 patch and Percocet 10/325's (2 or 3 as needed, still use the same amount per month).

I still don't understand though why you'd want to lower your dose before a major surgery though - you're still going to wind up needing more, so why lower the dose if you're just going to have to increase it again? Since you've been taking a set dose for a long time like me, it'll take a long time at a lower dose for your actual tolerance to go down. By "long time" I mean many months or longer depending on your system.

Depending also on how much you take regularly and if your pain is chronic and steady like mine, you might benefit more from a long term chronic pain med like Duragesic. The dose you're taking is relatively low for those of us experiencing severe pain. There's a direct conversion table for the equivalent amounts of Percocet related to a relative amount of morphine. Knowing that amount, you can then figure out the relative amount of morphine it would take to equal a certain dose of Fentanyl in a Duragesic patch. Knowing those, you can figure out how much Percocet is equivalent to certain dosages of Fentanyl in Duragesic. For your dose, I'd guess probably a 25 or 50 micro patch would be the equivalent. Something to think about.

This combination is a complex one. Citalopram, as an SSRI, is often taken in combination with gabapentin (Neurontin), and atenolol. However, oxycodone (and Ambien) possess abuse potential, and should be discussed specifically and carefully with your prescribing physician.

because poo nah

wahat are the active ingredients in bleach and ammonia

The FDA is too picky about the manufacturing quality on the production lines at the plants, which is causing several weeks of delayed production. However they say it is their job to maintain quality and assurance for the american people. Should patients receive slightly mis-manufactured medicine w/ spelling errors on medicine or not receive medicine at ALL? I believe patients would rather have there medicine w/ a slight errors (i.e mis-prints on medicine), as long as it doesn't affect the medicine or their health, most patients probably wouldn't even notice. Plus the cost of ALL that medicine being thrown away is such as waste. The FDA is just trying to show the government that they are strongly needed so they don't get a budget cut, like the rest of the government workers out there. However the FDA is not solely to blame there is also the fact that the raw material make-up is also in shortage & medicare drove prices down, which affected the manufacturer budget to try and negotiate prices over seas. The Chinese would rather sell to another country with a higher budget compensation. Wouldn't you go with the highest bidder?

Yes, Percocet being the stronger one out of the two.
percocets contain oxycodone and acetaminophen, vicodin contains hydocodone and acetaminophen.. both are opiates

Depends. But, yes, it can supress the sex drive and/or cause impotence just like any other narcotic.

Usually depends on your body weight. For most it takes at least three (3) days to get out of your system.

It depends on the tolerence of the individual. It is not unheard of for people to use 500+ mgs of Oxycontin in one day and not even feel it, or have it "help their pain"

13 days

There are no known drug interactions between Percocet and hormonal Birth Control.

It is very similar. Very few people can tolerate Oxycodone when they are allergic to Codeine. The basis of most prescription pain relievers is a derivative of Codeine.

Unfortunately, I am severely allergic to Codeine, and the only pain reliever I am able to tolerate is Demerol, because it is 100% synthetic. I cannot even take over-the-counter Imodium, as it is made with Codeine.

They have tried Morphine, Vicodin, Lortab, all of the "-odones", all with the same results. I assume each person is different, if you feel nauseous with any of these medications, notify your Doctor, as they may be able to supplement the medication with an anti-nausea medication. Good Luck.

Theoretically- Yes, you can inject anything into yourself.

Is it a good idea? No- it can lead to death.

There is an injectable form of Oxycodone but it is kept under lock and key by doctors.

El Oxycontin

No, it is .05 mg.

sure ,why not

"Bed Spins" or dizziness while your eyes are closed aren't uncommon side effects for some opiate patients, particularly those that don't have enough of a tolerance yet to deal with some of the more "interesting" side effects of opiate use. If you're not used to taking opiates regularly, or haven't had much experience with them in the past, it'll take time for your tolerance to build up a bit to where it's not a factor.

However, I'd suspect it's something else you're taking in combination with it like an anti-depressant (some are used to augment the effects of opiates). Before I found that I couldn't take them, some of the AD's I used years ago when I first became a long-term opiate patient used to cause those symptoms regularly. Any other drugs you're using (anti-seizure, muscle relaxers, sleep or anti-anxiety meds, other pain meds, etc.) can enhance that particular side effect of Percocet.

If you're just taking Percocet, and not using any other med or any alcohol (don't forget even cough syrups have alcohol in them), try splitting your dose in half to see if it's the dosage you're using that's causing it. Don't discount other meds you might be using either - try to narrow them down to either rule out or confirm it's the Percocet causing it. If it's a dosage/tolerance issue, and you're a long-term patient, it'll just take time to build up enough tolerance. If you're an acute patient (short term use) then as I said, try lowering your dose by 1/4 or 1/2 to see if it makes a difference.

If you're a short term user, it's likely your tolerance will get to the point the problem isn't much of a problem at about the time you stop using Percocet. If you're a long term patient, your body will get used to the dosage you're taking regularly, and the side effects will lessen over time.

Yes.

Oxycodone is a prescription-only pain killer. Check with your doctor for proper usage.

All.

Oxycodone.
