Percodan is the brand name for a combination of drugs that Percodan describes. Percodan is the combination of oxycodone and aspirin. Oxycodone is a narcotic which means Percodan is a very powerful opioid and should be taken with extreme care. Percodan is prescribed for pain because as a narcotic it has strong analgesic properties that block pain transmissions. Percodan works by interrupting pain signals from the brain and spinal cord. This is why Percodan is used for pain management but an unwanted result could be Percodan addiction.

Addiction is defined by the National Institute of Drug Abuse as being a complex illness that is characterized by compulsive, often uncontrollable drug cravings that continue despite the occurrence of very negative consequences. The negative consequences of Percodan addiction include having more than one doctor in order to maintain a desired supply of Percodan. Lying to family and friends about the amount of Percodan that is being taken. Traveling to pharmacies out of the area in order to avoid detection of multiple prescriptions to Percodan. Hiding pills around the house, continuously counting pills in fear of running out. Suffering physical problems due to Percodan use such as physical dependence or symptoms of overdose such as shallow breathing and unconsciousness.

Physical dependence is primarily felt when enough Percodan isn't taken any withdrawal symptoms are felt. Flu-like aches and pains, nausea, diarrhea, lack of concentration, insomnia and other symptoms often make it difficult to stop Percodan on one's own. The physical complications of Percodan addiction alone should warrant a doctors supervision when attempting to cut down or quit Percodan.
