I am noticing (granted, after being on this extended release less than 24 hours!) that the 10 mg. is just not cutting it. Does it take awhile to get into the system? I took 1 dose last night at 6pm and a second dose at 6 am this morning. I'm only supposed to take 2 percocet a day for break thru, and I have already taken 1 today, and it is only 1:10 pm. Is this normal? Now I'm really nervous about going out of the country tomorrow. Should I call the pain management clinic to give them a head's up?? Any suggestions?
Thanx!
