RE: Possible resolution to Percocet ineffectiveness

[Guest guest]

Mojo,

The other thing is brands differ as well as generic differ between

brands. They say they are all the same drug but there is a difference. If you

find one that works better remember the brand and ask for that one specifically.

Good luck,

Deb

Hello All.

I posted a couple of weeks ago concerning an issue I was having with

Percocet 10/325 working sometimes and sometimes not working at all.

I have had the same problem with some of my medications. I know that

Vitamin C and citrus products can can't be used with some medications

as it effects the metabolism. I cannot take my thyroid with anything

and it has to be several hours after other medications.

It is so important to consider these things and after reading your

posts I am going t o take my pain medications separate from my

anti-deptessents. I remember someone posting whose husband was an

intern and said that he told her he had gone to a presentation that

opoids and anti-deptessents compete for the seritonin and sometimes

cancel them out or reduce the effect.

I have looked for research on this but haven't found any. If anyone

knows of information that addresses this or other medication that

reduces the effect of apoids, I would like to know.

I recently read the insert on my Zegorid, an medication for GERD, and

it says it will enhance the effect so don't take it at the same time.

I don't take it daily so I didn't read about it.

I forget to drink the amount that some prescriptions state to so I will

try to do better to get the effectiveness I need.

So if anyone has other information, please post it. Bennie

Hi Bennie.

Let me know how it works out for you. It's made a HUGE difference for

me. In the meantime, I'll be scouring the internet to find any

references to what's happening between the anti-depressant and the

opioid. What you said about them competing with each other makes

sense to me.

much peace
