Common Questions and Answers about Percocet and effexor

percocet

I am still pretty new here. I tried to tapper off of percocet that I have been using daily for about 8 months now, the dosage kept going up and got to about 6 - 10 mg pills a day and thats when I new I needed to do something.

Hello, I will post my name as Rave. I have been on percocet for a long long time for my back. I have recently snorted them and take about 5-8 a day. My scripts run out a week early and my dr. said he would boot me if I kept running out. Usually I can make it but lately I have had trouble with the withdrawel affects. I am just tired of doing this and I want to get off it. I was on morphine an kicked it. Opana was what I was taking.

07 and have been on 5/325 percocets since then. I take 4-5 a day. In January my pain management dr put me on Xanex 3x a day, Soma 3x a day and Effexor 1x a day. I have terrible shaking/tremors in my fingers, hands, foot and tounge. I went to see a Neurologist and he said my tremors are due to meds. Says I am on way to many and that my pain mgmt Dr will have to wean me off of these slowly, as they all have w/d side effects. Anyway, now I am trying to get off of them. PM Dr.

Thankfully there isn't tylenol in the oxycontin, but the tylenol with percs is surely compromising these organs' well being. My very good friend, a percocet abuser, just got off a dialysis machine 2 days ago, for failed liver and kidney function. He is an otherwise healthy 32 year old man. Then there are changes that occur to the brain, that in many cases can be permanent. Some addiction specialists draw the analogy of an addicts brain to a person that has had a stroke.

I did the percocet withdrawal first as well but the Effexor made the percocet withdrawals look like a piece of cake.

I WAS TAKEN OFF EFFEXOR, BY TAKIN ONE WEEK OF 37.5 MG. I WAS ORIGINALLY TAKEN 75 MG XR-FOR 4 YEARS. I'VE BEEN EFFEXOR FREE FOR 1 WEEK NOW, AND I FEEL HORRIBLE TO SAY THE LEAST. HOW LONG DOES THIS GARBAGE REMAIN IN UR SYSTEM. IS THEIR SOMETHING I CAN TAKE TO REMEDY THIS IN THE MEAN TIME. MY DR, SAYS U'LL RECOVER IN A WEEK?????????????????????

How long were you on the Effexor? (You should NOT quit Effexor cold turkey, but rather taper off slowly. Your doctor should know this!) Why did you decide to quit the Effexor? Zoloft can take about a week to reach a therapeutic effect, but you state you've been on it for two weeks now and are apparently not feeling better.........rather, you are actually feeling MORE anxiety.

Effexor withdrawal can be accomplished! Please do not give up heart. I have taken Effexor 75 mg time release for several years, with the dose upped 90 days ago to 150 mg. Then, last week, I did what I have wanted to do for so long. I stopped the drug cold turkey. I am not recommending that you do that! Last Tuesday I felt as if I had been run over by a truck, experiencing all the side effects listed in these posts -- and more!

I'm also diagnosed with Major Depression Recurrent, and Type 2 Bipolar disorder. I take effexor xr 150 mg daily, lunesta at night to sleep, and ativan .5 mg prn, which I amazingly don't abuse. Its just the percs that I can't get away from. I like the energy I get, and the way I can just deal with life. I'm wondering if I permanently screwed up my brain years ago from the opiates and now I just have some sort of an endorphin deficit that percocet is filling.

I'll name them all but some I did NOT take long at all. '02 started on Effexor (This was a mistake!) From that year onward; Klonopin, Zyprexa, Ambien, Hydrocodone, Percocet, Ritalin, Prozac, Tranxene (Fail!) Xanax (Fail!) Back on Kpin, Codeine, Lithium, Remeron, Risperdal.... And; Tegretol, Valium, and Celexa! Now... completely off everything. I basically detoxed off everything besides Klonopin and Valium. Those I tapered down. The Vicodin... I detoxed that. I'm clean YAY!

I am on klonopin 1 mg 3 times daily, seraquel 200 mg at night. In the am, I take 400 mg of lamictal, 225 mg of effexor xr. I saw my pdoc a few weeks ago, was feeling bad, and wanted to go up to 300mg effexor ( i know this is a high dose) he didn't want to and told me that some of his patients will have a bad week then feel better the next. I go through this too..

i recently got a new doctor and he is still going to give me my xanex but wants me to try effexor xr. i have been taking that along with the xanex for about 5 days now. not sure if the effexor is doing anything yet but since i started taking them i feel like my nerves are more on edge then before.he said to take one effexor a day and the xanex when i feel i need to. does anyone know anything about effexor xr and how it may effect me ?

She's about the same age as you and was diagnosed at age 19. Are you ONLY using percocet, or are they using other medications in conjunction with the percocet? I know that my mom is on a whole plethora of drugs to compliment. She takes lortab for the pain, baclofen for the spasms, tizanidine to help her muscles relax, xanax for when the tizanidine doesn't help, and effexor XR (both for depression and the neurological pain relief benefits). There may be one other I'm not remembering as well.

Help its terrible! Ive had these percocet for a few months now from a kidney stone should I try them?

I have now moved from the US to India, where it is not available. Any recommendation for alternatives? I can't take codeine long term, and take Effexor, neurontin and metformin daily, w/Soma PRN as well. I can have scripts shipped here if need be, but wold prefer to avoid the hassle/expense.

My medications are , synthroid, percocet, effexor, xanax, and topamax. None of them are working and I go to see a ENT in 3 weeks, until then could someone please let me know what I might be dealing with? Thank you, very much!

He told us that he would make a referal however it would take months to get to see a meth doc!! So he prescribed us Percocet (30 pills) and told us to do a taper and that it was a one shot deal and not to even think about coming back looking for more. So now we are on day 2. Just hoping that we can make them last and be strong enough to do them properly and to the greatest of our advantage.

Doctors expected me to have severe pain for 4-6 months, so I had major depression and an almost unlimited supply of Tylenol #3, Percocet and a limited supply of Dilaudid .. For the first year, the Percocet worked like magic for the depression.. The pain was real and the opiates really didn't help that much.. so the depression had no place to go but worse.. After about a year or two, the pills no longer solved the depression.. so my family doctor put me on Paxil..

It just happens you can't take Effexor with it and I am worried about the Effexor withdrawals after the percocet and Lyrica withdrawals. I don't know if I have another withdrawal left in me. I haven't felt well in months and the Lyrica withdrawals really kicked my a s s. So here's hoping they aren't too bad. I swear I may have a baby after all of this pain lmao.

Currently, i am on Percocet 10/325, i take about 6-8 a day. Two concerns i have...... 1) If i take 2 percocets around 6pm, i will wake up in the middle of the night with withdrawal systems. For an example, i can't sit still, i have to shake back and forth, heart palpations, just plain old miserable, so i take just 1 percocet and in 30 min, i fall back to sleep, thank God.

4 mg Flomax daily 5 mg Altace daily 75 mg Effexor XR daily 2 x 7.5 mg clorazepate daily. (I usually only take 1 since it's a long acting benzo) Now the hydro 10/500 3x daily as needed and the Flexeril Ambien CR as needed (Don't think it will be needed) The clorazepate and hydro really make me sleepy alone and I have never taken the Flexeril, so I have no clue. The Effexor even makes me a tad bit sleepy, but not too much.

Hi. I'm on day 29 of suboxone/percocet freedom! Hooray! Anyway, I'm also on 100 mg a day of zoloft. I'd really like to ween myself down from this as well. Does anyone out there have any advice - on either if this is a good idea and/or a tapering method. Thanks all!

(QUESTION 1) I notice that if I take too much of it I start to get dizzy and lightheaded and an almost disconnected feeling in my eyes and in my head. I have also been taking 75 mg of Effexor daily for the past 3 1/2 yrs (prescribed by my doctor) for depression. I notice that my depression is getting much worse. Scary even. I want to stop taking the hyrocodone. I'm so miserable and I think this is causing it. Can you please tell me the best way to ween off? (QUESTION 2).

Is it possible to grow new teeth at age 44? What are the appropriate remedies and questions to ask my maxillosurgery doctor ? Percocet doesn't help. I use Peridex rinse but desperately need some pain relief NOW and nobody seems to have an answer. What could be causing this ? What can I do to help pain. Still have some Black and Blue on cheeks and neck, lots of swelling notwithstanding a decrease in prednisone.

There are days I ache (either inside or out) and remember how good I felt after 1 or 2 percocet. But I force my mind to finish the movie and then I remember how it got to the point where I didn't feel anything at all when I took them and wound up taking a ton of them just to NOT feel like ****. The drugs play a mean bait and switch game. Never again!

He said they have to keep the medicine up until the C is in remission and then they can lower the dosage. In the meantime, they gave him Effexor for the depression caused by the medicine, etc but it makes it worse for him and he told them he wouldn't do it. It took him awhile to stop taking the percocet and he doesn't want to start that again. Any suggestions would be great as I don't know what to do anymore. Sorry for length but I'm new to this forum. Thanks.

I think there was a good chance that if I would of stayed on the Lexapro I wouldnt have started abusing the Norco,vicodin,percocet,fentanyl ect. I do know that withdrawal can and usually does cause a temporary depression.

the combination of these with lortab is a potent one (i was on 100 percocet 100 lortab and 75 10mg valium a month for a while) so there is reason for concern. i too am plagued by the social anxiety for which i am on risperdal and effexor xr, but it's still a struggle. i also came into a 30k insurance payment a few years ago and found myself buying whatever i wanted on the street. it's a hard place to come out of---some don't make it. are you seeing a psych therapist or just a regular doctor?

Whether listed as Tramadol HCL or Tramadol. It's a chemical vastly like Effexor but without opiate properties. Think of it as a stripped down version of codeine with antidepressant properties. Ultram is nothing more than the Brand name for Tramadol and Ultram ER is a timed release of Tramadol. Ultracet is merely Tramdol and Tylenol in the same pill.

I am 23 and have been suffering from intense migraines for about 12 years. Seizuresfor about 3 years, but this isn't about the seizures.
