Side Affects After Tapering Is Over
UpdatedI 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?
