Re Oxycotin & side effects & thanks for inputs

January 15, 2005

Thank you for responding, it does give me a clearer picture of what I

think is going on. I don't feel high, I actually just think I feel

close to what normal people feel except for sometimes the breakthru

pain, but the med has definitely given me alot of relief. But it's

my friends, like when I'm on the phone or just talking that ask me

these things like am I high, or that I'm very excited & talking like

I'm on speed? I don't even realize it, but then other times when I

am alone or possible when it is not at it's peak I just start sobbing

& sometimes actually in the same phone call or time that I was told

I'm high? so I do think it is the drug......it does afterall work on

the central nervous system, and now & then it makes me sleepy, and I

always feel tired & whoever said their eyes look bad.....mine always

feel strained! I'll be asking for something for the depression,

cause I like the pain relief but sure don't want to be known as the

speed freak who with intermittant crying jags! I have many many

reactions to drugs, even intravenous demoral, when it wears off I

also felt like I was on speed with racing heart for 8 hours after the

endoscopies, plus the SSI's I think they are called, like Neurotin,

ametriptiline, etc. I also can not take. Thank God for the Klonopin

or clonazapam, that does calm me down & lets me sleep pretty good. I

left it out for one week a few years ago & got about 3-4 hours the

whole week! The malabsorption & hypoprotenemia & the amino acids

that we are lacking in do control the neurotransmitters like:

serotonin,

dopamine, melatonin, epinephrine & norepinephrine, so I believe it

has to do with the malabsorption part of the disease. Anyway, off to

a new day & try not to talk too fast or much! Geez....now I have to

worry about my personality too! Thanks again, in CHS
