If i went to like percocet can he write out refills on them or do i have to go back every month. Thanks

You have built up a tolerance and no matter what stronger opiate you move on to you will continue to develope a tolerance and continue to need more....as far as what your doctor will order and how often he will want to see you that would be the doctors call.

i guess my real question was if he gave me percocet which i believe is in a differrant class than vicoprofen is he aloud to give refills. I thought when you got to a certian class of narcotics that they couldn't write out refills

you would need to see the doctor once a month for perc's they are not in the same class as vic's

Lotsapop, to answer your question Hydrocodone 10mg because it's a schedule 3, the next step up is morphine and oxy and they're schedule 2, and schedule 2's can't be refilled. It doesn't always require an appt, many offices will allow you to drop by and pick up your new script (for a refill), I think docs are only required by law to see you once every 6 months when on CII's. You might try explaining you can't afford, or don't want monthly follow up appts, your tolerance, and the need for a bump.

Vicoprofen is Hydrocodone with Ibuprofen. It is the same strength as Vicodin (Hydrocodone and Acetiminophen -Tylenol)

Oxycodone is stronger than them.

Anything with Hydrocodone is a Schedulde III Narcotic, meaning it can be written, faxed, or called into a Pharmacy with up to 5 refills.

Oxycodone (Percocet) is a Schedule II Narcotic, meaning it can ONLY be accepted at a pharmacy in the form of an Original written prescription and NO REFILLS are EVER allowed.
