What are the side affects taking percocet and Valium together?

Some side effects of OxyContin include: Drowziness, dizziness, nausea, euphoria, and itchiness.

I would add low blood pressure, especially on standing up from a sitting position. Bad dreams (resulting in disturbed sleep), memory loss and confusion are major ones, with a lack of being able to concentrate and focus. Constipation is common. 'Drowsiness' is too weak a term, I'd prefer sleepiness, especially when trying to concentrate for any length of time.

When your doctor prescribes Oxycontin, he/she should accompany it with an anti-nausea medication, and a laxative.

Added a few years later: taking OC for chronic pain condition, I've noticed that when late with the next 12-hr dose, I get restless legs, diarrhea, headachey, and sometimes, shivers. Also, when the present dose is wearing off, my head gets a bit 'thick'. The very strong and active (sometimes awful) dreams don't reduce in time; they're horrible and exhausting.

Even though it's an advanced pain reliever, do think twice (and more) before taking on OC. It's not a nice medicine to be on, even if it's necessary. Take as low a dose as possible.

How long does ice stay in your system?

Can Percocet stop a methadone withdrawal?

maybe a whole lot of Percocet. be careful though. Percocet has a buffer in it and taking too much can be toxic. oxycodone is the active ingredient which is also in roxycontin and oxicontin. there is no buffer in those. try suboxon or subutex. it didn't work for me but I have known it to work for others

Does percocet have opium in it?

No, Percocet does not have opium in it. Opium is the dried latex of the opium poppy. It is a complex mixture of chemicals, containing narcotics such as morphine and codeine. Percocet contains acetaminophen and oxycodone. Oxycodone is a semi-synthetic opioid, it does not occur naturally in opium (though it can be synthesized from chemicals in opium).

Can you take two percocets at one time?

When I destroyed my ankle I was on Vicodin and Oxycontin at the same time. The answer always depends on the situation, were you perscribed both by a doctor, was it the same doctor that perscribed and were they perscribed at the same time. If you are just wanting to take both of them at the same time for a high either one by itself would suffice. Oxycontin is bad news and very addictive. I will never take them again no matter how much pain. Can't go through those DT'S Again.

How to flush percocets out of system quicker?

Can you inject Percocet?

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.

What is stronger Vicodin or percacet for pain?

Vicodin and Percodan are powerful narcotic pain relievers that are only available by prescription from a doctor. Vicodin is a schedule 3 narcotic, and Percodan is a schedule two narcotic. Both medications can lead to tolerance.

What if you mix hydroxyzine and Percocet?

i took trazodone and Oxycontin concurrently for several years with no major side effects. this does not mean that it is "ok," but my doctors did not voice any concerns or warn me about reporting any possible reactions.

remember, though, that everyone's body chemistry is different, and what works well for one person can put another person into a coma, thus this question is best asked of the pharmacist or MD(s) who prescribed the two medications. pharmacists tend to be more patient and forthcoming, but it is important for the doctor(s) to take responsibility for their decision(s) regarding your care.

if the prescriptions are from two different doctors, be sure all of your medical professionals know what is being prescribed for you. DO NOT leave it up to the pharmacist to catch any counter-productive interactions. while it is their job to do so, it is really the responsibility of your MDs and other prescribers to know your FULL prescription history and which drugs you are currently taking. otherwise they are not able to do their best work. despite the "rewards" bestowed upon some folks in medical malpractice suits, it is the patient, not their hired medical practioners, who is ultimately responsible for communicating with each member of their medical team, and ensuring that all parties are aware of all practices performed by each team member.

in my humble lay opinion, it is often the patient who causes many of the poor decisions medical professionals make in their care, so be careful and ask each member of your team this question and all others like it. you may just find that this combination is fine, but reduces or increases the effectiveness of another drug you are taking; an over the counter drug you may take; or even interacts with certain types of food you may eat or drink.

best advice: NEVER take anything for granted, no matter how often doctors roll their eyes at you! :-) better ridiculed than rushed to the ED! never be afraid to call back to the office and ask later, either.

hope this helps you.

How many mg is a green Percocet?

Anywhere from 2.5mg , 5mg, 7.5mg and 10mg. Of course the nature of percocet means it also contains acetaminophen (Tylenol) along with the oxycodone...thus the medication called percocet (Just an oxycodone and Tylenol combination) The only thing that varies is the amount of Tylenol in each pill.

What mg does percocet come in?

I could be wrong but from what I know, and I am no doctor, I have seen 2.5mg 5mg, 7.5mg and 10mg. The higher you go the name changes. They do have 15 and 30mg, but those pills do not contain Tylenol or aspirin where as percocet does. The 15mg and 30mg tablets are called roxicodone. Percocet and Roxicodone are made from the samething called oxycodone.

Can you take tramadol and Percocet?

I can't speak for paracetomol, but I use tramoldol and aspirin together with great success for back pain.

My neurologist assured me that combining them was irrelevant because their actions were distinct, and no synergistic effects have been observed.

I suggest being wary of tramodol for long term use. Some person experience very unpleasant withdrawal despite the product literature claims.

After a tubal ligation is there a test that can be taken that can tell you whether or not it has failed?

Only by a abdominal scan and tests. I doubt if you could tell if a tubal ligation is still intact with an ultrasound. The only way I am aware you could tell for sure would be with a laparoscopy or a hyysterosalpingogram (a test where dye is injected into the uterus and tubes and then an X-Ray is taken). Unless you have gotten pregnant, why would you suspect the tubal ligation is no longer effective?
