I have found suboxone with small amount of Zoloft and wellbutrin have worked amazing I never thought I could feel normal and happy again but it's possible wellbutrin is what really really helped
Thanks so much for all the advice and support. This truly has been the most trying time of my life. Everyone else has given up on him but me.
I mentioned this forum to him, he didn't seem into it. Hopefully he'll give it a look over.
I forgot to mention that maybe it would be helpful if your son got on this forum himself. I have found it very helpful. He doesn't have to post but if he at least reads some of these posts it may help.
Your son is lucky he has you in his corner.

Not to alarm anyone but I have heard that for teenagers and young adults it's not recommened that they take these drugs because of risk of suicide. I would consult your Dr. again and stress that you son's depression is severe and that he has temper outbursts. Good luck,

From one mom to another, and the oxy withdrawal is new to me, please know these words are written with minimal experience with this horrid drug. Pls see my post, as you, asking for help.
I took my daughter to the pychiatrist today, we are only on day 2 1/2 of oxy withdrawal....but did go thru methamphetamines addiction almost 3 yrs ago. He (the doc) put her on 3 different scripts(not suboxtone, pls msg me if you want to know the specifics) to detox. And will do follow up in 2 weeks, we see the councelor she has been seeing for the past few months on Thursday........Her mood swings are and have been so extreme, just as when she was on the drug. I have so many questions and am trying to save my daughter life. Please feel free to contact me at any time.
Bottom line recommendation is medical help.......hoping he sees the need. Sincerely, LLardo
I think your best bet is to talk to his doctor.My husband has had problems with depression and often times if you don't see an improvement in the symptoms after the alotted time for the drug to level out in your system it's not the right one for you.My husband had started off with zoloft then was switched to paxil then wellbutrin none of them worked for him.In the end his doctor put him on prozac and there was marked improvement in his mental state.Goodluck to you.Peace.
Depression is very normal. However, I have heard and gone through Paxil and that it can cause the opposite affect. It can make depression worse, and if you miss a dose you can see the difference right away. I did alot of research on paxil and worked in Doctors offices and have seen several cases of Paxil causes more harm than good. Don't get me wrong for some people Paxil is great and for others it is bad. The Dr. I worked for had a couple patients that developed an additive reaction to paxil. Another words you just can't stop paxil you need to taper off of it. As we did that with several we finally put them on Prozac and noticed a huge difference.
As far as the oxycodone goes the withdrawl part of it is over for him. However, once we get past that it's not over. For me I am trying to retrain my body to live life without narcotics. It sure is a long road to recovery.
I hope I could help a little. I usually only give advice if I have been through it or have been around it.
Good luck,

Depression is normal. I would check into seeing whether sub causes depression it might be making it a bit worse .For some people it takes a few tries to find an antidepressant that works for them. He may want to talk to the doctor about trying another one . I am sure they will find something that helps him.
