    Um... a little overkill just for cramps...

    We can't answer that since we dont' know your history, body type, stuff like that. Go drink a bunch of club soda or something and throw up.

    if you're really concerned, call poison control, they'll tell you what you should do.

    Did you take any other medications today or any alcohol?

    Do you have any other medical conditions?

    From drugs.com:
    Overdose symptoms may include extreme drowsiness, muscle weakness, confusion, cold and clammy skin, pinpoint pupils, shallow breathing, slow heart rate, fainting, or coma.
    http://www.drugs.com/oxycodone.html

    You will likely to be ok but if anything else occurs other than the dizziness you should get to a doctor. Better safe than sorry.

    Maybe you have endometriosis? period cramps aren't supposed to be THAT bad that you need an oxycodone. The only time i had really bad cramps that were unbearable ( so bad they made me faint and feel nauseous) was when i was having a miscarriage. You should go to your ob-gyn and see if there's anything wrong with you. Some b/c pills make your cramps and periods lighter.
    "Life and death, energy and peace. If I stop today it was still worth it. Even the terrible mistakes that I made and would have unmade if I could. The pains that have burned me and scarred my soul, it was worth it, for having been allowed to walk where I've walked, which was to hell on earth, heaven on earth, back again, into, under, far in between, through it, in it, and above."

    all i have to say is lesson is learned. i remember i took one after i had my daughter and it didn't affect me at all. didn't even make me drowsy....but the rest of the bottle will be in the garbage.

    so you LAY DOWN. my demerol from my surgery was nice and all but i had to LAY DOWN. those pills arent meant for you to take and go about your day.. not those that are that high strength.

    Next time, eat before you take meds and also Loestrin 24 or Mircette is good for stopping your period and/or cramps. Be careful taking meds like that next time, only 1.

    Just as another warning: I listened to a doctor on NPR yesterday saying that prescription drug overdoses are the #2 cause of accidental death right now, second only to auto related accidents. This is really huge. It is also the fastest growing cause of death in the country. People are self-medicating and using drugs incorrectly, abusing them and mixing them with alcohol and street drugs. It is really dangerous. Be careful.

    two probably won't kill you but you are very small. I think you should get a phone lie down and call someone to comeover and hang out around you. You can probably just sleep it off ( and drink lots of water and maybe take some milk thistle to help detox) but the danger is respitory arrest. You don't want to go to sleep and stop breathing. but honestly looking at the time of the OP if you can read this your probably alright.

    If you have taken two Oxycontins, I'd be worried but taking two Percocets is really no big deal and won't hurt you.

    Yeah what dosage were they? Oxycontins are stronger than oxycodones, which is just another name for percocets as virgoamm pointed out.

    What mg?

    If they were 5mg or maybe 10mg, I wouldn't worry; but anything bigger; especially with how tiny you are can cause death. Especially if they are extended release, and if they were, did you scrape the coating off of them?

    WTF are you taking Oxy's for cramps for anyway; and what IDIOT Dr. would RX them for that use?!?!?!?!?!

    Do what I do, take 4 liquid gel motrin, and 2 tylonol and take a nap with a hot water bottle.

    Make an appointment with a doctor to get proper medication asap! Oh dear! Don't forget that if you over-medicate with the wrong things, you won't be able to care for your baby girl. You need to get the right medicine for you to keep you out of pain & FUNCTIONAL when you are cramping.
