My liver after taking percocet?!


Question:

My liver after taking percocet?

I was taking 7 percocet a night, miss using them. I stoped cold turkey tonight. Myquestion is...will my liver heal itself....because I'm sure it's banged up after the last 2 weeks...


Answers:

Fortunately I don't think that 2 wks of percocet use will do too much damage, but you took some pretty big risks there with the amount of them you took at a time. I'm glad that you chose to give them up, Good For You!!
It's kinda odd but, it is not really the narcotic that damages your liver, it's what is combined with the narcotic to make the medication. Usually it is acetaminophen, and it is what does the damage to the liver.
If you are concerned, you can go to your GP and ask them to do blood work, but I honestly think that if you stay off of them you will be fine!!
Good Luck.
