Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I seem to be waking up in the middle of night and taking mass quantities of my percs. I have no memory of taking them and it is extremely irritating especially since i share my RX with my room mate and its not fair to he. So if thus has happened to anyone else please let me know so I know I'm not going crazy lol. Thanks
 
This seems highly unlikely.... If you were going to bed already high from the percs, I doubt you are waking up in the middle of the night and taking more. They would most likely knock you out for the duration of the night.
 
Strong detective skills...lol sounds like your room mate is taking them...unless of course you take Ambien or something similar....I've done some stupid things on Ambien although I tend to avoid taking more pills of anything on it and generally just do other stupid things.
 
Your getting jacked, nobody takes oxycodone without remembering it. You would A) wake up if you ingested oxycodone, a rather stimulating opioid possibly due to it's potential affinity for the Kappa opioid receptor. B) you would remember. Oxycodone isn't an amnesia-inducing drug like, say, zolpidem (Ambien) or HIGH doses of classical benzodiazepines.
I can tell you from personal experiences taking large doses of oxycodone right before bed. I was able to fall asleep but within an hour or two I was so opiate'd that my body woke up as a natural response, but oxycodone gives me and many others have indeed reported insomnia, like many people probably would given the circumstances. It's too speculative.

My advice: If your not down to file a police report, get some simple 5-7 panel (If I remember correctly) drug test urinalysis UA kits, just make sure that it will detect benzodiazepines and opioids. This way, if your roommate submits to urinalysis (Like anyone who's truly innocent would have no problem taking as they are very non-invasive and easy to use at home.) If your roommate tests positive for opiates, and doesn't have a prescription...... they've probably been taking yours. If you are NOT prescribed sleep medication, and you test positive for benzodiazepines... your roommate might be drugging you? idk? We can't speculate which is why this type of discussion isn't allowed.

INVEST IN A MEDICATION SAFE THAT LOCKS WITH A COMBINATION ONLY YOU KNOW AND STORE YOUR CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES PROPERLY AS YOU WERE INSTRUCTED TO BY YOUR DISPENSING PHARMACISTS AND PRESCRIBING PHYSICIANS.

anything more is unneeded speculation im closing this.
