I hope I’m posting this in the correct forum.
I’ve been taking Lexapro 40mg as prescribed for depression/anxiety since July. I missed an appointment a couple of weeks ago so for about a week and a half, I’ve not been taking it.
To help me deal with the mental and physiological effects of withdrawing from the Lexapro (and because I begged him to let me try one), my boyfriend introduced me to Vicodin. I believe they were 30mg pills. The most I took was maybe 2 in a 24 hour period, nothing major. After a few days, I guess he ran out of those and got Percocet instead. (And he told me they were the same thing, which isn’t true right? One is oxycodone, one is hydrocodone.)
Anywho, the opioids made me feel a little better but today I will be able to get my Lexapro script refilled. I told myself that I’d stop taking the opioids once I got my medicine but now I’m like.....hmmm. I kinda still want to take them. What, if anything, will happen if I continue taking the opioids as well as the Lex?
I normally take my Lexapro when I wake up (noon-ish). If I’m taking the opioids, I usually don’t have one until late in the evening. And I end the night with 25-50mg of Seroquel, also as prescribed.
