I had been buying Percocet on the black market for back pain..but mainly for the mood lift it gave me.About 2 years ago, my Dr. prescribed them for me due to degenerative disc disease. You can imagine how happy I was! I am precribed 5 tablets a day [5 mg oxycodone with 325 mg. of acetaminophen] I usually have to "top up" my Rx monthly as 5 doesn't seem to be enough any more. Lately I have been waking up around 3 a.m. feeling nauseated and anxious and the only way I can get back to sleep is to pop another pill. I am afraid to talk to my Dr. about this for fear of him discontinuing my Rx. I feel very depressed and anxious without them. I have tried anti-depressants but within 2-3 days I couldn't function at all so I stopped taking them. Any suggestions??? Please help, I don't want to be taking these for the rest of my life.
