I recently cut back, i was taking 20mg of percocet every 4 hours during the day. Also had dilaudid which was sporadic as to when i used it.
Now i just saw a new pain management doctor today. He gave me MsContin 30mg twice per day and allows one percocet daily. He is worried about the possible liver or kidney damage and is sending me to a lab to have it checked. I had been on the higher dose of percocet for about 4 years. 15 surgeries in 4 years.
I sure hope the mscontin works well.
