Absolutely! It is even better to control pain. Rather than taking 1 perc every 6 hours and having zero blood level at the end AND if you were (or are) a drug abuser that wants to control their problem... Take 1/2, then instead of waiting 6 hours (or 4 hours) take the other half 3 hours later (or 2 if it is q4h - every 4 hour script). It is better pain control, won't spike blood levels and then go to zero, won't induce cravings. You have half the blood level so you may have to start with 1/2 or another 1/2 to get started, then as I said do another 1/2 when needed. If you are a drug addict in recovery a script is not a license to take meds "EVERY so many HOURS", it is for pain, if you do it PER THE SCRIPT, because the doctor said so, you are setting yourself up for a relapse at the end of the script. SO USE 1/2 at a time!!! Anyways, it is much better pain control than using a whole and going to zero, watching the clock, getting (perhaps) a twinge of "I WANTS IT...". If your pain ain't so bad put it off BUT be careful. It is far better to get meds in you BEFORE the pain gets bad than waiting too long, letting it get bad and then trying to control it, especially using 1/2 a perc. GOOD LUCK.

Can you sniff cocaine and take a percocet orally?

you can take a percocet anytime while sniffing coke eventhough it is not safe. The reason why it is not safe is because coke raises you blood pressure while percocets have a tendency to lower blood pressure and the quick drop of blood pressure when you take the percocet is dangerous for your heart and could adventually cause heart problems. Also, it depends on how much coke and percocets you are doing and also it depends on the persons body and so on. You can it might not be safe in large amounts but if u take a 5 mg perk and wait for it to kick in then do the coke it is amazing <333

Lortab is identical to Vicodin - it is a combination of hydrocodone and paracetomol (acetaminophen). If you are truly diagnosed allergic to Codeine (hydrocodone), you should not take it. Allergy to acetaminophen is extremely rare.
