I had surgery a couple of decades back and they sent me home with enough Percocet to kill an Elephant. I was hurting the first day and took a couple. The second day the pain was little more than a nuisance. The third day I got dressed and went on about my business. I may have taken 4 or 5 total over a 3 day period. The rest of the bottle sat in the medicine chest until I flushed them down the toilet.
Some doctors over prescribe that stuff.

It is a rather potent opioid and can be good for short term use. It is quite strong, especially for someone not used to opioids. Your doctor would have taken this into account before recommending it for you. Sorry to hear you are in pain. Here’s wishing you a speedy recovery.

My understanding is that Percocet is generic for Oxycodone.
Due to the increased price of ammo, don't expect a warning shot...

Good stuff. Don't know would ouch your nursing but you might not need that much. Might want to start with taking half. Or take half and couple hours later take the other half. No matter the dose for me after a couple hours pain relief is about the same. Just got a better initial buzz and pain relief with a higher dose. Everyone is different. I could easily just take as needed. Others need to stay on schedule and keep the pain at bay or it could take several doses to get back on track.

From broken bones to gum grafts to abdominal surgery to migraines to kidney stones, I’ve never had to take narcotic painkillers more than 2 days in a row. After that, Tylenol or aspirin worked fine.
Does your back hurt the same every day? If not, take it only on the bad days.

Super effective, but there are risks like stopping your breathing while you sleep and killing you.

My understanding is that Percocet is generic for Oxycodone. Not correct, but quite understandable! Oxycodone is a modified (or semi-synthetic, some would say) opiate drug. Percocet is the name brand of a drug that contains acetaminophen and Oxycodone. John

I think I'd rather take advil and tough out the pain...than risk blowing some guy in an alley in 6 months after getting addicted. Tramadol is a safer alternative....

I better stay off Gunbroker tonight. lol It effects people different, like most drugs, some it knocks them out, others it winds them up. I’m thinking it effects you like me. Don’t drink, you’ll buy something on GB.

They gave me some when I broke my ankle, made me sick. I flushed it, made it with ibuprofen. NEVER flush drugs down the toilet! Water treatment plants can't remove drugs and it ends up in our water . Put them in your trash so it ends up in a sanitary landfill.

Buy a 5lb bag of unwashed poppy seeds, if you can still get them off amazon. boil some water with lemon juice then add a cup of seeds and let it seep. the opium will dissolve off the seeds then you can drink it, good for about 12 hrs or so.
