Hello, I am new and I have a ? about percocet.
I have a tumor, a large lipoma about the size of an egg, it didn't use to be painful, but now that it has grown it is starting to lean on my spine causing my discs to swell. I am scheduled to have it out soon.
anywho for pain I have been given percocet (oxycodone/APAP 5mg -325) if that helps.
Im instructed to take 2 every 4 hours not to exceed 12 in 24 hours.
It works pretty well for me, except I throw up a lot. It doesn't matter if I take it with food or not, i throw up, a lot.
My mom says I am probably allergic to it, but if that was the case, I think I would have more side effects then just vomiting. And she might be just trying to take me out of it so she can have them lol witch isn't happening.
My dr says that I can switch to morphine if I want to but I am not sure if it will have the same effect for the pain as the percs do.
I have never taken oral morphine, just in IV form, and that was ok although I prefer the dilautin to morphine.
So I guess my ?s are.. is there something I can take to make the nausea go away thats over the counter?
In your opinion does morphine have the same effects as percocet?
TIA for any advice or info. It is much appreciated!
holy shit! you seem confused. that last paragraph really got me.Also if the oxycodone has the best ORAL bioavaliability does that mean that I will have more adverse reactions to it? Does that mean I will have to take less of the oxycodone then recomended in order to avoid its adverse reaction due to its high bioavalibility which means a smaller dose of the oxy is equal in adverse reactions to a higher dose of morphine and hydromorphene due to the difference in bioavaliability? So it all ends up being the same anyways?
For example if only %40 from 5 ml of oral morphine is absorbed and %40 of 1 ml of hydromorphone is absorbed and thats the maximum dose I can tolerate, then does that mean that I would I need to take a very very small dose of the oxycodone due to its higher bioavaliabibility so that it equals the %40 threshold abosorbtion rate which is all my body can handle at the moment due to the hypersensitivity?
Maybe this isn't the best advice, but you could start smoking small amounts of cannabis throughout the day to prevent nausea. This would also potentiate the analgesia of the painkiller, as cannabis is well known for it's ability to kill pain.
I'm sorry, i dont mean to be a dick, but this is like saying "When you jump off a building you go towards the ground because you are falling". or "When you drink a lot of beers, you get drunk because you are putting more and more beer in your body". lol. Sorry, but I just had to point out a sighting of Captain Obvious!
