I must share this before I go back to work.  We just had a caregiver come in who reported that his patient, since beginning her cannabis therapy, has now stopped using 60 Percocet pain pills (Oxycodone with acetaminophen) per month, all sleeping medications, and one of the three muscle relaxers!  As if that isn’t awesome enough, she is now ready to stop using Morphine, and we are helping her down that journey.  Thank you, and blessings L and E, we are so excited for you to be getting your life and health back!!!

As an aside … here are the side effects and ‘most important things you should know’ as quoted from The RX List website with regard to Percocet:

What is the most important information I should know about acetaminophen and oxycodone?

Tell your doctor if you have ever had alcoholic liver disease (cirrhosis) or if you drink more than 3 alcoholic beverages per day. You may not be able to take medicine that contains acetaminophen.

Do not take more of this medication than is recommended. An overdose of acetaminophen can damage your liver or cause death. Tell your doctor if the medicine seems to stop working as well in relieving your pain.

Oxycodone may be habit-forming and should be used only by the person it was prescribed for. Keep the medication in a secure place where others cannot get to it.

This medication may impair your thinking or reactions. Be careful if you drive or do anything that requires you to be alert.

Avoid drinking alcohol. It may increase your risk of liver damage while taking acetaminophen.
