oxycontin

Avatar m tn re under age so knock it off. Second,alcohol is a depressant in and of itself. And,lastly, if you read the drug info on Paxil it clearly states that it should not be mixed with alcohol. You need to stop drinking and let the Paxil do it's job. Okay? V.
1034192 tn?1445509784 I used to be a regular member while I fought my demons with the pain pills. I was on oxycontin, percs, and morphine for about 17 years. I was also on 2 antidepressants and tons of tylenol for headaches. Couldn't picture life without them. But here I am two and a half years clean. Took me about a year, some close friends, and a good counselor to do it. It does get better, I go weeks without thinking about it.
Avatar n tn MY SECONDSURGERY WAS NOT AS SUCESSFULL AS THE FIRST, AND I HAVE HAD ONGOING PROBLEMS AND HIGH PAIN LEVELS. I SUFFER FROM BLADDER URGENCY AND HAVE TO MANAGE MY PAIN ON A COTAIL OF MEDS, THE MEDS IM CURRENTLY TAKEING DAILY ARE OXYCONTIN, TEGRETOL AND ENDEP, THIS IS TO MANAGE MY PAIN. I WOULD BE MOST APPRECIATIVE IF SOMEONE COULD LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS A RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MY DISC PROBLEM AND MY CONSTANT OUTBRAKE OF SHINGLES. THANKS.
Avatar n tn Hi all. Day 40 clean from about 160 mgs of oxycontin daily. Finally went to Doctor and he gave me a 3 week supply of Cymbalta. I could no longer deal with the depression caused by quitting the Oxy. Can anyone tell me about any experience with Cymbalta. I have never taken anti depressants before. Apparently takes a week or two to work.
Avatar f tn hello and welcome. first of all how much are you taking daily and how long. this will help us help you.
Avatar n tn i think my body is used to the oxycontin and when i have a flareup, only ibuprophen seems to help, not more oxycontin or oxyfast. I used to use oxyfast when i had a flareup but i don't get them like that anymore. ergo, either i am in fact over the worst of the fibromyalgia and can get by with ibuprofen or i am on the right maintenance dose and will simply have to live with the oxycontin daily as i have been for 8 years. no way to know until i go for it.
Avatar f tn After four days with treatment and new antidepressants. I feel so much better. Finding this site and reading the response I got. Truely helped. Thank You all very much......... Now to answer your questions. I am on the Fentanyl Patch and I have tried Oxycontin. So far the Fentanyl Patch seems to be working. As far as the Oxycontin, I have been on it and my body got immune very fast. So as you can see, I have tried about very thing. Pain Management now wants to put in a Pain PUMP.
Avatar f tn I was also on amityiptyline, ambien, and a rare xanax. I had been on oxycontin since 2002 for lyme disease but was off completely a month before surgery. I was on vicoden for the post-op pain for the first surgery. I did fine after the first surgery except for a cough and pain in my neck. The second surgery, a skin graft, was more painful. The lortab and tramadol the plastic surgeon gave didn't work. The fifth day post-op I went back on oxycontin short term for the bad pain.
434196 tn?1206385870 My friend is very worried about his sex drive, He was on oxycontin for 8 months and clean fro a little over two weeks. He is concerned that his that his sex drive won't come back to be what it used to, and he is having a problem getting an erection. How long, if ever, does it take to come back to normal???
Avatar m tn I am on antidepressants and have been for years, and will probabaly never be off them. Depression runs in my family, and I have been down that long, dark and lonely road a few times. The antidepressants I take are prozac and tegretal, and I have no side effects. Talk to your dr. in detail about them before ruling them out completely. I also take xanax, 1mg three times a day. It's part of my depression therapy. Valium don't do anything for me at all but the xanax really work.
950947 tn?1246132545 As far as that goes, WHAT the heck IS "secondary withdrawal"? It's obvious to ME that such a thing DOES exist! I'm 4 wks and 6 days COLD TURKEY off an 8 year run on oxycontin. Even my daughter, who will soon take her state boards for licensing as a Nurse Practitioner, INSISTS something else MUST be going on with me, as I should be WELL past my withdrawal symptoms!! N O T !
Avatar m tn The hospital staff said I neede to stop all blood thinnig drugs (aspirin, fish oil, advil, etc) but did not say anything about pain mends (Oxycontin 4mg 2x day and Norco for the breakthrough pain (10 - 50 mg per day depending) Can I take the pain meds right up to the surgery?
5312547 tn?1367094865 t as strong and also has acetominophen in it so make sure not to take Tylenol in any other form. Oxycodone and OxyContin are essentially the same drug and have no Tylenol in them. OxyContin is a time relealse and is usually taken twice a day. Usuallymanother med is given for breakthrough pain. All of these drugs will case physical dependence and in some people can lead to addiction.
Avatar f tn I have had terrible side effects to antidepressants (citalopram)..lasting two weeks and from there they were fantastic and really helped..but I wasn't pregnant. They do take up to around 6 weeks generaly to kick in neway..I know its tough..if you are concerned I would speak to your Dr..
200220 tn?1361951554 My tsh finally got to normal and then went up 3 point and anxiety and depression hit and now some panic which I have been able to control. Anyway I called my holistic doctor and he wants me to see a psychiatric nurse who will be more available to me but I am going to a Christian counsellor and don't want to many sticks in the fire. My question is I am also going to a Christian psychiatrist to get a regular antidepressant.
Avatar f tn It is a concern and I am glad that you have been lookin into it. However I have seen some type one 1s and type 2s be able to take it without going manic. Also depending on how depressed when I come into treatment, they do take the risk of letting me go manic. It is almost the only way to come out of a deep depression. They try to recognize the mania symptoms as soon as they appear and start tapering me off of the SSRI.
Avatar n tn Help please, I have to take trycyclic Antidepressants and I really want to have a baby, I need to know the safest antidepressant and anxiety medication to use?
429700 tn?1308007823 I too am on Propanolol. Alongside this I am also on Buspar. I haven't had any side effects at all such as weight gain and it doesn't make me feel like i am on drugs such as lexapro and xanax did. Have you tried buspar before?
Avatar f tn I read in one of the threads that you can't mix tramadol and antidepressants. Is this true? What are the risks? My Dr. has me on both - I am trying to very slowly cut back on the Tram. I pill every week. I know it is painfully slow - but it is all I am able to do right now. I am working on alternative pain management methods, and getting the courage up to dump the pills once and for all.
Avatar f tn anti depressant but I strongly suggest talking thoroughly with your doctor and pharmacist about the side effects. I was prescribed a different anti depressant and upon looking it up and talking with the pharmacist that they didn't know what effect it would have on the baby so I refused to take them.
Avatar n tn I have tried every other SSRI/SNRI out there.. and the withdrawals from these meds are simply awful..and just finished withdrawing off the Cymbalta.. pure hell. I was on Ativan during this period because of my break through hypomania which made it hard to almost see straight.
Avatar f tn I have been recently (February) diagnosed with gastroparesis and am taking Domperidone 5mg four times a day. I am trying to wean myself off Prevacid as I think acid reflux isn't the source of my nausea. I have noticed that I am becoming more and more depressed in dealing with the pain and nausea. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Do you know of any antidepressants that won't make my gastroparesis worse?
1204049 tn?1265826534 If any one can let me know if they are taking antidepressants while on methadone and let me know if it does help please? Thank you vina_voo x This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/721252'>Forum Guidelines - Please read before Posting</a>.
