Re: ...Sleepless after Percocets

[Guest guest]

If it's any consulation to ya'll....oxycontin 20mg near bedtime

makes me wired for the night. Sleep for an hour then up for an hour

etc.....so glad I've got direct tv, there's always something on. :-)

I know what we can do, we'll all have to get on one of instant

messenger things. Then instead of watching info-mercials till dawn

we can't all chat live about itching and scratching till dawn.

Hi,

My 2 cents. I find percs a bit weird. If I take 5mg pill, I can fall

asleep very easily. If I'm at 10 or 15mg, I feel very tired/drowsy

but can't fall asleep cuz my mind feels active and I end up like day

dreaming...

Just wanting to reply to this as well. I can sleep on the Darvocet but

cannot sleep on the Percocet even when I take a valium or zanax or

ativan or other sleeping pill with it....NOT all of them at once though,

of course!

My doctor told me that only 2% of people react this way to this drug. I

am one of them and so was my mom. I am sorry to hear others say they

have the problem but glad to know I am not alone either.

Great idea !! I wish there was a way we could " see " who is

online at any given time so we could have a chat!! Well, I guess

there is if we get yahoo instant messenger then our little " happy

face " will be showing if we're actually on line....

thanks
