just had teeth removed can i take the percocet they prescribed me

If u get called 4 a random. Still won't be good. The half life is short but still a pain in the ### trying 2 explain why you had them even with a prescription. Suppose 2 have a doctor note saying they won't interfere with daily driving or activities and company has knowledge. A tricky bridge 2 cross.

 

If they knew you were having oral surgery, good chance they'll pull you for a random, just saying. I would stick to Aleve or Advil, personally. A little pain is NOT worth my career. Especially with the country being up in arms about opiates these days.
Even with a doctor's note, opiates are No'No's in trucking these days anymore.

 

I had a tooth pulled while on home time. My company at the time told me that it had to be 24 hours since the last dose. I took ibuprofen and Tylenol in a rotating time frame. For me it works just as good as perocet or Vicodin.

 

I had 8 teeth pulled and used nothing but ibuprofen(partial plate installed)

I don't understand why people need narcotics for this

 

You'll be fine as long as you're not on the medication while working.
If you get a random and fail, the MRO will just ask for your prescription to verify the medication was prescribed to you. After you show him, you'll be cleared.

 

Here let me help you understand:
Every body has a different pain tolerance.
Your Welcome.
