Endocet Question

[CNAamyfaye]

I have been dealing with Severe Depression, so I started taking Endocet pills, usually one a day for the past few weeks. I would take it in the morning when I woke up, to get me out of bed and going because it made me feel a little happy and speedy.

So my question is...I know i am psychologically dependent, but am i physically? I dont experience any withdrawl that I know of, after it wears off, I just think about them alot.

Would it show up on a drug screen in the next few days, if I stopped Today? (i took the last one today)

How can I get myself to stop thinking about them.

Im on Effexor for depression but its only been almost 2 weeks, so im waiting for it to start working for my depression.

Hi, Sounds like you are taking a very low dose of endocet for a short period of time so I don't think your w/d's (if any) would be too severe.  My suggestion to you though is to quit now, nothing good comes from these pills!  You may think they relieve you depression but after time you will need more to get that feeling.  I don't think you are addicted to the pills maybe just the high you are feeling.  I am a pharmaceutical rep and I used to sell effexor xr so I know a bit about it.  It is a very good AD, what dose are you currently taking?  I does take a few weeks to start working and your dr may need to adjust the dose if it is not relieving you depression.  Please feel free to ask me any question you may have about effexor xr.  Best of luck to you!  Dianne

In some cases if your depression is not getting better, your dr will increase the your dose to 150mg.  At that dose effexor xr works on both serotonin and neuropinephrine or mood and motivation.  Be sure to tell your dr if you are not feeling better because increasing the dose really helps.
