is endocet the same as percocet? ive been taking endocet for almost a year, its 5/325 dosage. i have had chronic stomach problems for 10 years, i was in the hospital numerous times, its beyond acid reflux and esophagitis. the pain sometimes is unbelivable.... i was taking darvon for it for awhile, that didnt work, now ive been taking endocet for almost a year, sometimes it works, but i think my body is building up a tolerance to it. sometimes ill take a pill and not feel anything, ive never went beyond the 4 pills a day, because im too damn scared to, i dont want to overdose or do anything stupid.
so basically im asking, is endo and perco US/Canadian names for the drug?
and has anyone been in a similiar situation to me? sometimes you cant feel it at all, but i remembe the first time i took one of those pills, i could barely stay awake, now its nothing...... thats obviously a bad sign in my body right?

oh yeah i have to add, i know acetaminophen isnt the best thing for abdominal pain, and sometime i think the pill itself makes me feel even soarer...... the doc doesnt think much of it....... huuum i do.

Endocet is genaric oxycodone the opiate in percocet.It's not a good drug to take chronically as it's hard on the live.Meaning the tylenol not the oxycodone.Your doctor can order you sustained release oxycodone, I'm sure you've heard of Oxycontin.You really shouldn't be taking any ASA,Tylenol or anti-inflammatories like advil and motrin...Good luck....Dave

Both Percocet and Endocet are made by Endo Pharmaceuticals, the only difference is Endocet is their generic version.
Opiate tolerance is a fact of life, after a year it's not surprising it's losing its effectiveness. You have two choices, get a bump or try and taper down your dose for awhile, maybe consider cutting your pills in half and take as little as you can over time.

yes it is. i take it....i believe it is the generic name for it...and also you do build a tolerance to it, as your body gets used to the foreign substance.
