 Posted: 08/14/06 - 23:00 Post subject: Oxycodone for anxiety or depression |
  |
|
Hello, I have been anxious and depressed for a long time. I have used several medicines, and some of them helped me, but not enough. I still have a problem to talk to people, especially when there are more than two persons involved in conversation. I am thinking of using oxycodone, but I am not shore if it helps with anxiety and depression. Has anyone with the same condition as me used this drug?

Hello, my anxiety seizures began when I was 27 years old. My condition was getting worse, until I tried oxycodone in a combination with some antidepressants. It really worked for me, even it is not usually used for this kind of conditions. It is actually a painkiller pill. However, I am not that worried and stressed as before and I can sleep at night without crying and thinking of all the bad things. Oxycodone is a strong opioid analgesic medication, wich is often sold in combination with aspirin, so if you’re allergic, be aware of that! It is one of the most powerful medications for relieving pain,and it has similar effects to morphine and heroin. So if you choose to try this drug, be aware of addiction!

I use oxycodone for pain management and anxiety/depression. I can tell you that it works great for me. The combination I use is Percocet and Cymbalta... and I have seen much improvement over where I used to be.
I am pretty sure this would work for anyone. I have chronic pain from a badly broken wrist and mild depression, and I gotta say the drug combo I'm doing is very helpful. |

| I find this all very intersting but there is no literature to support any of the claims. I asked my doc about this after taking percocet for about 2 months for a slipped disc. i take welbrutin as well and for some reason, my depression seems to be much improved when i'm on it and I can actually FOCUS much better (helps my concentration dramatically). i wish there was a doctor out there who could explain this phenomenon to me. most docs dont understand. |

I'm going to talk to my doc about oxycodone with my current Lexapro treatment. There's an article from the American Journal of Psychiatry, published in Dec. 1999, referencing the benefits of prescribing Oxycodone for depression with certain patients.
