Prescription drugs are often mixed with party drugs like Molly (MDMA) to intensify their side effects.
As a highly addictive prescription drug made up of amphetamine and oxycodone, Percocet can produce adverse side effects on its own. When combined with synthetic or hallucinogenic drugs like Molly, the side effects can be life-threatening. Our drug rehab Palm Springs, CA, is sharing more information about the effects of Molly Percocet and how this drug combo became popular.
What is Molly?
Molly, also known as MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine) or ecstasy, is a synthetic drug that alters mood and perception. Molly shares chemical similarities with stimulants and hallucinogens, meaning it can produce side effects like increased energy, alertness, pleasure, emotional well-being, and distorted awareness of time and surroundings. Molly is usually sold in the form of a capsule. However, street drugs like MDMA often contain cutting agents or other substances that mimic the drug’s physical appearance. Molly-cutting agents like bath salts and other white powdery substances make it easier for drug dealers to make more money with less product. Initially, MDMA was commonly abused in nightclubs, raves, and music festivals because users believed the high enhanced their experiences. While Molly first received its recognition as a club drug, it now affects a broader range of people.

What is Percocet?
Percocet is the brand name for a prescription pain reliever that contains both oxycodone and acetaminophen. Oxycodone is a semisynthetic narcotic painkiller that’s the most potent and problematic of Percocet’s ingredients. Opioids like oxycodone are known for the intense high they can produce when taken in large doses, and taking high doses of Percocet can also produce a high and has a high potential for abuse. Long-term opioid abuse often facilitates the need for opioid addiction treatment for sobriety. Acetaminophen, Percocet’s other analgesic ingredient, is a fever-reducing drug that enhances the painkilling effects of oxycodone. This makes Percocet an effective medication for moderate to severe pain. However, like most other narcotics, Percocet is highly addictive and is often abused because of the numbing and euphoric high it produces.
