Roxicodone 15mg Dose for an Opiate “Naive” Person?
Question by Jamie Z: Roxicodone 15mg Dose For An Opiate “Naive” Person?
In the past, I have took percocet 10mg, Vicodin 10mg ect, but never this. Also, I havn’t took an opiate in A while. Probally Like 2 years ago. My Doctor said this amount shouldn’t cause any adverse side affects in A opiate Naive patient. Which I have no clue what that meens. What does naive meen? I just said OK, when I should have asked him. LOL. I was thinking Naive meens, someone who can handle opiates or something. I dont even know. Someone help me please. I think he put me on this dose and medication because my pain is stoping me from doing everything.
I Just want Another opinion about this, has anyone took that much (15mg) before? Also, did you have tolerance when you did take it? I have no tolerance to it. I dont want to split pills either, as that can cause problems ect.

i don’t know what your doctor means by opiate naive. the medication is a form of oxicodone, which is also found in percoset. i was on it after shoulder surgery and it did help the pain, but also causes drowsiness. these are the possible side effects as listed on yahoo health:
What are the possible side effects of oxycodone?
If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking oxycodone and seek emergency medical attention or contact your doctor immediately:
an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives);
slow, weak breathing;
seizures;
cold, clammy skin;
severe weakness or dizziness; or
unconsciousness.
Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take oxycodone and talk to your doctor if you experience
constipation;
dry mouth, nausea, vomiting, or decreased appetite;
dizziness, tiredness, or lightheadedness;
muscle twitches;
sweating;
itching;
decreased urination; or
decreased sex drive.
Do not stop taking oxycodone suddenly if you have been taking it continuously for more than 5 to 7 days. Stopping suddenly could cause withdrawal symptoms and make you uncomfortable. Your doctor may want to gradually reduce the dose.
Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.
you can also call the doctors office and ask to speak to him and go over your questions. or, you could try calling the pharmacy and talk to the pharmacist, they should be able to help you get answers as well. good luck.
