<s>[INST] I am currently taking 10 mg Percocet after being on Lortab and Norco 10 mg for over 32 years. My Doctor wanted to see if the oxycodone would give me better pain relief. I seems to be helping somewhat more, but not a whole lot. I was taking 6 Norco per day and now am taking 5 Percocet. I want to know if Percocet comes in a stronger dosage than 10mg; and if not, what we be the next step from 5 Percocet per day. Thanks [/INST] The narcotic in percent does come in higher doses BUT with higher doses than this there is a very real risk that 1) if you stop you will feel quite bad for 1-2 weeks (with Chat Doctor. But then, it depends a bit on the type and etiology of the pain. If something goes in the pathway of a nerve, then that is the nerve involved. Nerves are long and the pain is in a belt-like long pathway. Smaller areas are smaller nerves. This also tends to say what might be going on. Obviously if there was an injury to the area and then there was pain outward from it "hit a nerve" would be a possibility. Sick nerves are MULTIPLE areas and tends to be the TIPS of the nerve not the whole nerve. And the point is that nerve pain can also be treated by nerve pills like anti-epileptics. </s>
