How Come I Have the Desire Sometimes for Percocet Still?

Question by Tyler: How come I have the desire sometimes for percocet still?
Hi, I am a recent sufferer of a drug addiction, and I was taking generic narcotic pain pills for percocet. I took the pills after surgery, and I stopped for a while until last winter when I just noticed them in the medicine cabinet. After I took a dosage, I started wanting more, and I did more until all 80 pills from the prescription were gone. Whenever I took the drug I would go into a dream like or floating state, yet I was still aware of realtiy.

This sent me into complete withdrawl from the drug and I got very depressed an suicidal, so I seeked help through counseling, until I felt I uncovered what was causing my depression–withdrawl.

I know I am better now, and I stay away from narcotics, yet for some reason I will occaisionally say or think, “I really with I had soem percocets, for the effects.”

Does anyone know why this is? Is it natural?

Thanks for reading and answering.

Hi. I am not exactly sure of why u r having these “spells” rather. But I am sorry. What you said about withdrawl; its probably true. Just to let you know your not alone, I sometimes have these urges for Seroquel. It dosent get me high, it makes me tired. It’s sometimes my way of escaping. And No, I am not on it and havent been in a while. So I guess overall, i think it is probably the natural way of feeling like your pain free, and I guess drugs help. Nothin’ much, but hope this is sime resurgence for help. You can contact me anytime. ; – )

Percocet is a strong and addictive narcotic as you already know. You will most likely have the craving occasionally for a long time since it is both physically and physiologically addictive. Congratulations on your awareness of your problem and your recovery. When you start to have these cravings try and do something or talk to a friend ( not necessarily about your addiction), but keep your mind off the drugs.

Good Luck to you and once again Congratulations on your recovery.
