What is the drug perc

[big apple]

percocet is oxycodone + acetaminophen

 

[avxl1003]

Percocet is Oxycodone combined with Acetaminophen

They are not dangerous but hugely addictive (I can personally attest to it).

I should be clearer.. They are not dangerous if taken as prescribed.

Perc? as in percolate? I just had a coffee and now my stomach hurts.....teenagers have died from drinking legal caffeinated beverages, yet Harper wants to jail us for growing 4 pot plants.

Percoset is best taken with Gravol for those that are sensitive to codeine. If your friend reacted that badly to one pill then he would be well advised to talk to his Dr. and get a non narcotic pain killer, they are much easier on the stomach. Nausea, Vomiting and dizziness is a common side effect for most narcotics.

Exactly - 5mg (or sometimes 10 I think) of oxy and 350 of acetominophen (tylenol). Oxycontin (hillbilly heroin) usually has between 20 and 50 mg of oxy. If you were silly enough to snort percs you're likely to OD on the tylenol before the oxy. Usual prescription for pain is 1-2 tablets as required, and yes, it can be addictive if abused but not to the extent that the stronger oxycontin is.

Paracetamol toxicity is caused by excessive use or overdose of the analgesic drug paracetamol (called acetaminophen in North America). Mainly causing liver injury, paracetamol toxicity is one of the most common causes of poisoning worldwide. In the United States and the United Kingdom it is the most common cause of acute liver failure.

Depending on where your friend got them he might have gotten counterfit underground percocet.These will make you sick,some people violently sick for uo to a day.They look exactly the same as the real ones,but contain no real oxycodone in them,although for some reason people who take them sometimes do not get withdrawl symptoms from them if they were long term users of real percs.The only way to tell them apart is to compare side by side with real percs,they will be slightly less shiny as they have not been compressed as hard when made as real percs.the next test is to place the perc on a hard surface and press down as hard as you can on it with your thumb,if it crushes,especially to powder then it's fake.Real percs you shouldn't be able to crush,if they do break they will break into hard pieces not powder.Fwiw the market has been flooded with the fakes the last two years.

at that dosage, i expect you'd O/D on the acetaminophen before the oxycontin hurt u.
those things are 325 mg acetaminophen...according to google, they have just cut the daily dose to 3000 mg in some places

These drugs are some real dangerous stuff. My cousin died from a mix of hydromorphone and booze. Dead.

Is not Prec the non addictive miracle drug that pharmaceuticals came up with for pain that has addicted millions of people because it was so poorly researched ?


If you have pain masking it with a drug will only make things worse

Maybe 'Prec' is non addictive, but I've never heard or read anyone claiming Percs weren't addictive.
