Side Affects After Tapering Is Over
Updated
Jenn Says:
I had an abdominal Hysterectomy Jan 28. Due to my super high tolerance of medications in general (not just the pain meds), It turned out to be a bit more complicated in the end, so when they sent me home on was on strict Bed-Rest for 8 1/2 weeks. And for the first six weeks I just took the Diluadid as directed (which worked out to be 72 mg/24 hour period. Then at six weeks, with the help of my doctor slowly weaned myself off of them. It took a couple of months to accomplish! My question now is (I took my last dose a week or so ago)...the two issues that I'm still really struggling with is Depression and bad anxiety, I do have a medication to help with the Anxiety...but it just makes me tired and lethargic. Which does nothing to help the Depression, so if it's been at least a week since I took any...why haven't those last two symptoms subsided yet? And how long should I expect them to hang around? Thanks for any help or ideas!

Some of the withdrawal symptoms, even when you don't abuse narcotics, can last for a month, or so, after you stop taking them.

You've managed to avoid the worst of them, but when I stopped Oxycodone and Morphine from pain management, cold turkey, my withdrawal symptoms lasted a little over a month.
It can take awhile for your body to adjust to not having that substance any longer.
Are there any other questions or comments?
