Okay, very quick preface. I have used opiates on and off at different levels since i was a teenager, not incredibly consistent though. I have done a lot and have done a little, but there have been long periods of non use in the past. The most i had done in a night would be 80 mg roxycontin. Didnt do that for very long and just stopped for whatever reason.
Fast forward to a couple years ago. I have bad health/back issues and i had surgery a year ago. My surgeon prescribed me my 5 mg percocet (5/325) right after the surgery and every couple of months after.
Right after surgery i took 6 percocet a day for 2 months, then i went down to two a day and stayed there for a couple months.
Over time obviously my tolerance went up and i found a doctor to perscribe me them more regularly.
Now i get them once a month, same 5 mg dose. But i take up to 5-10 a day and finish them in about ten days. Then I just wait until getting a new bottle. That has been for 2 months, would rather not have to explain why i do this.
Final thing to add. For whatever reason in my whole life I have never gotten withdrawal symptoms that were beyond mental.
SO to the point now.
I am currently on my 20th day being on cymbalta, it is an anti depressant that also used to treat nerve damage. And it has been helping, especially when i take the percocet with it and it even helps my arthritis. I am already tolerating the cymbalta, which is fine because it is low dose. So i was going to ask for the dose to be raised
HOWEVER, right after doing the percocet thing this month, and running out of them, i started having insane diarrhea.
What i want to pinpoint, is what Is causing it. I have read both that cymbalta and opiate withdrawal cause bad diarrhea. Also am considering the acetominophen in the percocet, going to ask next time for oxycodone instead.
Heres the thing, i have done double the max amount i would take in a day now and have never gotten diarrea from it. I am thinking the cymbalta is causing it and the opiates masked the effect while I was on them.
What are your opinions?
