Has anyone ever taken percocet with ms contin. I WAS TAKING HYDROCODONE 10/5OO and 30mg ms contin twice a day and have now switched to percocet 10/325 and wonder if I should try and not take the ms contin but dont want to be to uncomfortable. I just had back surgery and have taken hydrocodone for about 1 yr prior to my surgery. Thank you for any opinions.
