You need food, that's all!. And if you want to speed "recovery" from these side effects, drink a glass of milk!. It gets in your system faster than food!. I would do both if you're that concerned!.
Also, after you have your milk and eat some food, take a long, hot shower!. The brain will focus on the sensation of the water hitting your skin, so the physical side effects will seem lessened!. By the time you're done with your shower, the food should have helped tremendously!.
There's nothing the ER can do for you!. It's just a side effect of the prescription!. I've taken percocet for almost a year now and have experienced the same thing if I didn't have enough food in my stomach!. Trust me, you'll be fine in a little bit!.
P!.S!. Drinking plenty of fluids (as suggested by another person) will not wash it out of your system!. It will only make you urinate more!. Technically, the drug binds to receptors on the spinal cord and brain and will not be "out of your system" for several days!.
P!.P!.S!. In response to the other person's answer!.!.!. Percocet IS oxycodone!. Percocet is the brand name, oxycodone is the actual drug!.
Your bottle probably says "oxycodone/APAP 5/500" where oxycodone corresponds to the "5" and APAP (otherwise known as acetiminophine or Tylenol) corresponds to the "500" meaning there is 5mg of the narcotic and 500mg of Tylenol (APAP)!. They add the Tylenol to the narcotic b/c it increases the pain killing properties exponetially!.
And there is NO POSSIBLE WAY that you are experiencing withdrawals!. You'd have to be on this drug for a LONG time - months at least, and the dosage would have to be pretty high!. FYI!.!.!. I'm currently in school to obtain a degree in pharmacy!.
I recommend calling a pharmacist for more information (or to verify what I've written at least)!. They can answer all your drug-related questions!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Precocity's active ingredient is Oxycodone!. It is possible to be experiencing withdraw symptoms between doses it you were taking them on a regular schedule but if this is the case should subside fairly shortly after taking your dose!. Without knowing what other meds your on it is impossible to know if any interactions are possible!. I think I would put in an after hours call to the Doctor and get his opinion and if you can't get them on the pnone then If your symptoms do not subside YES go to the ER!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
