    Default vicodin/percocet comedown?

    so i just got my wisdom teeth out on tuesday right and they gave me percocet at first for the pain. i was taking two tablets every four hours. that made me start throwing up. so they gave me vicodin instead, which i took two tablets of every four hours.

    friday night i realized that the vicodin was also making me really nauseous, so i stopped taking it.

    late saturday afternoon, i totally lost it. i became hysterical. i cried and cried and cried. i made my mom really scared.

    it was really bad. like think of the worst attack of depression you've ever had and multiply that by ten. then have it hit you all at once like this giant wall. that's what happened. it was really really bad.

    my mom suggested i take a half dose of the vicodin, so i did and i was okay.

    then i woke up this morning and once again i felt like i was under that huge wall. my mom came up and hung out with me and eventually i started feeling okay again.

    what the fuck happened? has this ever happened to anyone else? i'm really fucking freaked out.

    Maybe those are too strong for you?

    I know that if I took even a half or one percoset I would be so numb I could barely get up to pee by myself! But you had like 2!! Omg..it sounds like a bit much. Have you tried taking a lesser dose of percoset yet?

    Well I have not had my wisdom teeth yanked yet maybe that is a normal 'under the wall' feeling? But if even taking a lower dose makes you hack; stop taking it you might be hurting yourself and switch to Ibprofen instead until you can contact your doctor. You should call your doc btw.
    Hope you feel better soon

    Ask them for Darvocet. Its not as strong but it won't upset your stomach so much as its not opiate based, I believe. I'd also ask for valium or clonopin for the anxiety factor, but that's just me.

    exactly what happened to me both times i took it-- first time for wisdom teeth 2nd time for boob job. exactly what you are describing. I think it is common. yeah, kat is right, darvocet is supposedly easier to handle.

    I only use valiums but I know some have higher mg in them. Perhaps you should ask for weaker pills?

    I just had all my 4 wisdom teeth taken out 3 weeks ago. I took 1 percocet pill every 4 hours and that's all i needed. I felt fine. I really think you overdosed. I've never heard of 2 every 4 hours. I tried vicodin and it wasn't as strong for the pain.

    Have you been able to eat anything?
    When I got my tonsils out and they gave me Percocet, I couldn't take it because I had no food in my system. They had to give me anti-nausea medication so I'd stop vomitting. Maybe you need to ask your doc for some too.

    Sounds like the dose was too high - and as said you need to eat with these strong meds . Itry and stay away from all drugs if possible - I will make a stiff drink if I need some temp relief ..

    i know someone who was on vicoden for a broken ankle and when he came off of the meds, he got really jittery and twitched a lot - like he couldnt sit still. it drove him nuts, he couldnt even sleep.

    but he stuck it out cold turkey and within a couple of days, he was back to normal.

    painkillers affect everyone differently - hang in there, the effects will stop soon.

    thanks for your replies, everyone!

    i have stopped taking the percs and vicodin and am now only taking rx strength ibprofen.

    i think the worst is over. i just had a complete melt down fostered by the sudden shock of having the pain pills out of my system so quickly.
