Sleep apnoea (pausing breathing whilst asleep) is normally short lived and you begin to breathe naturally you dont need someone to administer CPR.
Your doc might be aware of this as one of the side effects of the medication. You just wont completely stop breathing for no reason so have confidence in what the doc has advised you and take them sooner and dont worry about the breathing thing.



Caused you to stop breathing at night ?

Who witnessed this ?

Somebody did, because they had to do CPR so you could be here now.

You didn't say how many 10/325 vs how many 5/325 you were taking. I assume its 1 of the 10/325 when you were on 2 of the 5/325.

If that's the case, the percocet is the same amount, the tylenol was reduced and should not have affected your breathing.

If you are concerned discontinue the medication (as its for pain management, not like heart meds or anti rejection meds after a transplant) until you get an answer that makes sense to you.



Just take half a tablet before bed, you don't need that much for sleeping anyway. Plus it will last longer.
