I'm on 5mg percs twice a day but hate the apap in them cuz my liver what should I say and request from my doc?
 
Say I'm concerned about the APAP in the Percocet.
In reality that's not a lot of APAP.
Your doc may give you oxycodone or see right through you.
 
If he takes only two a day and has no liver problems, why CWE? If taking more, sure but 750mg APAP is unlikely to do damage.
 
If your really worried about your liver, (I was after 25 years of hard drinking) ask for some blood tests, and even an ultrasound. Amazingly, my tests came out perfect. I've never had a doc tell me the APAP is in there to deter abuse, but it's pretty obvious. CWE is always an option.
 
Ask for percodan. Instead of APAP, it has aspirin. I'm surprised no-one has suggested this yet.
 
Just be honest with your doctor about your concerns. I have to close this because we can't advise you on what to say or ask for.
