Dazed, Difficulty Breathing, Tiredness When Percocet Not Taken. Addicted To The Medicine?
I have been taking percocet 10/325 for about 2 years. Sometimes it would only be 1 a day but then a had a re injured of my herniated discs and now I am trying to stay with 2 a day but most times I take 3-4. The other day I got really sick...i think it is because my doctor changed my muscle relaxer from soma to Robaxin 750 mg and also gave me Naproxen 500 mg. I think in my dazed state I messed up on some of them. anyhow the next day I thought I would just not take anything and just stay as still as i could to avoid any pain and clear my body. Well I felt Horrible. I was having a hard time breathing and was sooooooo tired and just felt nausea and just crappy. Then when i finally took my Percocet that night and the muscle relaxer before bed I was feeling much better. Does that mean my body is addicted to these drugs?
Percocet 10/325 has oxycodone which is an opiodanalgesic which can cause dependency and all the symptoms you faces were related to drug withdrawal, please speak to your physician as to how to take you off it in a step wise manner. Naproxen is a safer and novel drug, continue taking it as prescribed
I hope I was of help
