30mg codeine or 5mg percocet? Which will make me less loopy and drowsy?
I have to get up for work in 3.5 hours, and the NSAID isn’t enough. Doc said it’s ok to take with opiates, but which opiate has fewer side effects so I can try to work effectively?


Each person reacts differently to pain medications, but the codeine should make you less drowsy. I would have something in my stomach before you take it, codeine can be hard on the stomach. If you get a rash or itching, or have any trouble breathing, you are allergic to it. If trouble breathing, go to ER. The percocet is easier on the stomach, but depending on your pain level, will most likely relieve the pain better. Both should be pretty much gone in 4-6 hours.
Hope you feel better. Please talk to a Pharmacist tomorrow, so you will know which one to take next time without having to ask on Yahoo.
