| I am sorry to say but if you are taking 12+ percs a day and Morphine for the last couple years you have most certainly developed a physical dependence on them. Being a former addict I would know. Have you ever stopped taking the medication for longer than 2 weeks? I guarantee if you do you WILL have severe widthdrawls, if I were you I would talk to you doctor about slowly lowering your dosage or things are gonna get painful and you will get very sick. |

No way you should have to take that many Percs.
120 mg. of painkiller is easier dispensed as Roxi(30mg.) and various oxy or morphine tablets.
If your taking the minimum 10/325, your taking over 3000 mg. of aspirin/ tylenol a day- BAAADD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

I take roughly 20 percs a day, + a 100mc/h fentany patch. I broke both of my arms in a work related accident.
I have been on morphine, dilaudid, darvon, toradol, oxycontin (which i realize is just a stronger perc, but could NOW be fatal added to the patch so i stopped), honestly, I don't think there is a drug out there I havn't tried, each week I see my doctor and tell him "I eat 8 percs at a time, and I feel NOTHING" I need off of these things before I kill myself.
All of these things i've tried for pain control have been useless...percocets are basicly the only SAFE thing I can moderate how many I take w/o overdosing.
I'm actually quite afraid right now, I have surgury upcoming shortly, and knowing that the two major drugs used in hospital recovery rooms (morphine and dilaudid)do NOTHING to me, is a frightening thought.
All of these people yelling in CAPS about "YOU MUST BE HIGH!!!" are idiots...I can tell you from 5 years of using every drug under the sun, you can easily become acustom to these things, not be any different, minus a bit of pain.
I am currently going through voluntarily withdrawal, and it's one of the most horrible things I've ever done. I hope it's worth it in the end, or I should say in the beginning, because I'll be free of the worst vice i've ever had.

|
|
I have gotten a generic from one pharmacy which worked really well for one half of pill. This month, because of distance of usual pharmacy, went to local pharmacy for convenience. The endocet does nothing for me, which the other generic from our regular pharmacy one half pill worked. Now I take a whole pill and get no relief. What's the deal? I need relief no matter which or what, what is the difference, someone needs to investigate this. I have argued someone is tampering with the medication. No way there could be this much difference in generic meds!!!
I have FM and need relief to work, no way is a doctor going to give me another prescription after one week. Any comments!!! |

I had same response. I was taking a generic from my usual pharmacy which worked well with one-half pill. Then for time and distance, I chose another which gave me the Endocet which doesn't work with a whole pill. Can anyone explain this? The Endocet seems to make me feel down, like depressed, the other unknown to me generic made the pain go and I felt like myself again. There has to be a difference!  |

Good lord woman - 24 Percocet (or generic equivalent) daily? That's 7.8 grams of acetaminophen per day. Your liver is probably irreparably damaged. You need to have tests conducted to determine it's health. Then, you have to get onto a different medication and I would think seeing a different Doctor would be a good starting point. Just tell them what you posted here and they will take it from there. Just be prepared for their reaction, which will be  You may not feel 'high' as you have become tolerant on this exceedingly high dosage but you are. You should not be driving in this condition and if you continue, you will undoubtedly be in more collisions. If not for yourself, do it for your kids - you are not a functioning parent at that dosage level, you are an addict! |
