by daveinsandiego, Jun 15, 2007 09:03PM
Hello anyone who would know, THANK YOU !
I just went off perc 10/325 6 a day for 1 year for pain caused by radation treatment after colon cancer.
I have found that motrin can do just fine.

My problem is I am feeling depressed and sad as a result, no motavation.

Been 6 days when will I feel "happy" again? Do you know inthing that can help? I have been in prayer, Thank you.

Hi. First off congratulations with what seems like a succesful end to your treatment.

I'm assuming you mean Percocet 10/325?

Percocet is well known for side effects enduced by withdrawl from it, it's important to know that it wont last. It's your bodies reaction to a tablet you've taken over 2,000 times. It's very important you talk to your doctor if the symptoms are affecting your life and if you notice any new ones.

The answer may be to have you start a course of anti-depressants; although I know you probably feel as if the Percocet has given with one hand and taken with the other remember how strong you must be to have overcome cancer.

Best of luck
