I have very bad back problems and usually take 2 percecets for pain per my doctor at 5/500 mg a pill, I am out and can't get a refill till tomorrow. How many will sort of equal the amount of the perc's without hurting myself?

i would only take one pill. watch out for taking codeine with caffeine - it makes for bizarre adverse affects for most people.

You really only need one; depending on your age and body weight. Two if the age is appropriate and the pain is excruciating. If that doesn't work see the doctor.

i gram of tylenol is ok for adults and 15-16 mg of codeine is the norm for codeine...you should be ok with 2 pills

[John de Witt]

If you're a large adult without other medical problems, you might in theory take as many as four at a time for a single day (though prolonged use at that dose would be toxic). It won't, however, be equivalent to your Percocet.

Call in to work and take the tylenol codeine only as per the instructions on the bottle, if trying to stay awake is your reason for caffeine pills.Is the tylenol perscribed to you? Even if you live in Canada where I believe you can get the Tylenol 3 over the counter, there may interactions from the percecet left in your fat cells, don't risk it unless there is no alternative.Hot pad, warm bath with epsom salts and all that until you get your regular meds.If ran out before your prescription allowed for a refill you need to take to your doc as well, the pain management needs to be reviewed.

Always talk with a pharmacist or your doctor before self-medicating. Most pharmacies will be happy to answer your questions, whether or not that is the place where you got your medication. You can either call them or visit. Make sure you let them know about any other medications that you are taking!
