Recognizing possible opioid overdose is important for anyone who is prescribed Percocet or lives with someone who is. Warning signs can include extreme sleepiness that is hard to awaken, very slow or irregular breathing, blue or gray lips or fingernails, pinpoint pupils, or loss of consciousness. If overdose is suspected, call emergency services immediately. Some communities provide naloxone, a medication that can temporarily reverse opioid effects, to patients or families for emergency use; ask your healthcare professional whether this is appropriate for your situation. Even if symptoms improve after naloxone, medical evaluation is still necessary because the effects of opioids can return. Learning these signs is not about expecting the worst; it is about being prepared and adding another layer of safety when opioids are part of treatment.
