Was wondering if any of you have taken too many percocets 5mg in one day and if so, what happened?
Taking "too many" spread out throughout the day won't kill you but it does suggest you don't have control over your pain or narcotic. Remember, narcotics are highly addictive. If you are experiencing pain in between regular doses, that's called "break through pain". Try taking 2 ibuprofen (advil) regularly scheduled in between the scheduled doses of percs. Also, be sure to talk to your doctor about breakthrough pain and your need for more. If it's not pain related but mood altering related, you are on a slippery slope towards full on addiction and increased risk of overdose. Be honest with your doctor to find a better plan that works for you.
