Oxycodone for 3 months

[lovinlife5873]

I have been reading the post and find them to be very helpful. I was currently on Oxycodone for 3 montsh post and pre surgical period and now that I am trying to stop them I am in severe depression. I am and have been on Cymbalta and from what I am reading this may or moay not help but it definately isn't doing the trick for me. Any advice???

Well Hi & Welcome. It does take time for the Brain Transmitter to Balance back. The detox is really the easy part. But as a addict it is facing the beast of trying to stay clean that is the hardest part.I would discuss this med with your Dr. You might have to find one that fits You. Try to stay away from any mind altering drugs as best as you can until you give it some time to re-adjust back from the substance stimulants being removed. The AD can help get the Serotonin going a bit but there are also some serious side affects that can or will go away after 4-6weeks. Just keep honest with your Dr and he/she will find something that can help. There are a lot of natural things that can help the Brain to heal as well. Try not to do the merry-go-round with one drug to another. You will feel fine in time..Time is the Greatest Healer of it ALL!!
Bless

I also have Cymbalta 60mg very expensive and did not help me become free  happy. The cheaper non-narcotic GABAPENTIN 300mg's for nerve damage walked me right thru it or 34 days now. I am not saying that it will work for everyone. However with my insurance my cost was like 20 bucks for 120 pills so it may help to inquire. I have a post about it here.
