Percocet and dilaudid is a very dangerous combination. Diclofenac and Percocet
And Percocet would make more sense.

What? No. Don't take both of them at the same time. You can tell us yours and your sister's weight if you want to tho

Why would they send her home with both?
Whispers

Take one or the other, not both.

I don't know.

Better yet call the doctor on call for clarification.

Seems risky to follow anything you are told from randos on CB.

Take ibuprofen plus percocet, if percocet alone is not working.

She is on a blood thinner as well so can not take Ibuprofen.

I wouldn't. Both are opioids. She can take Percocet and Ibuprofen at the same

Can’t believe doctors are still prescribing this much opiate
claw

How much? He didn't say how many pills she was prescribed...
Slim

“This much”—you don’t even know the dose or how many were written

The doctor was probably doing Percocet and adding in dilaudid just for

If that was the case. She still can't take both at the same time, correct?

Just stick with one until you can reach the doctor.
IGlowInTheDark
8/5/19 10:04pm
She can. I wouldn’t want to though. Dilaudid is heavy stuff. What are the
credible HULK
8/5/19 10:04pm
Dilaudid isn’t “heavy stuff”. All that’s gonna do is confuse him.
IGlowInTheDark
8/5/19 10:06pm
It is heavy in that a smaller amount of dilaudid gives you a big kick.
credible HULK
8/5/19 10:10pm
Potency is the word you're looking for.

8/5/19 10:20pm
Fair enough. I apologize for using the wrong word.
credible HULK
8/5/19 10:22pm
I don't need an apology, just don't give irresponsible advice.

Both are immediate release opiates that are used for breakthrough pain

Good call. You’re probably right.

Doctor has to keep the patient happy, can’t have bad reviews on pain management.

Dilaudid has ER version
MatthiasG
8/6/19 5:50pm
Dilaudid is the brand name for immediate release hydromorphone
mobius
8/6/19 7:44pm
Yep. He didn’t specify much & often referred to by brand name despite generic
MatthiasG

Pick one and only take that one.

Make sure it is not diclofenac

This is potentially life-threatening stuff. You probably should not be asking

Every single answer is to not take both - it’s common sense advice

Pick one, take that one as directed. It's not rocket science.

How long have you two been physicians
Agnostic-alumni

11 years but given my work schedule I claim 20
cougfanz
8/5/19 10:25pm
I have 20 years. You honestly think it's safe to solicit advice here?
Agnostic-alumni
8/5/19 10:26pm
Sure. Seems safer than taking Percocet and dilaudid prescribed by some PA

Well for sure but one of the posters said to toggle the scripts and if you read
