> doxogenicTo be honest I would tend to say no. I'm on percocet and neurontin for pain management due to severe osteoarthritis. I have a hip replacement scheduled for end of sept. I find the neurontin and percocet to have antidepressant effects which is nice but they also tend to make me feel edgey and a bit aggressive. After the operation will go to a morphine pump for several days and probably back to the percocet or some form of it.
My goal is to get off of the percocet and rely on the parnate and whatever my p-doc and I decide to augment it with.
Possibly a powerful med like parnate would allow you to discontinue the opiate? But that's up to you and your doc.
Good luck whichever path you take.
