Opiate Long Term Problems
UpdatedI have been taking Hydrocodone 7.5/325 Lyrica 100mg and Tramadol 200mg ER for about 10 yrs. I have noticed a slow but steady decline in my libido, my energy, and general enjoyment of life. I tried quitting the hydrocodone and felt so terrible for 2 months, I had to get back on them. How does one quit these drugs and what drug is mainly causing the problem? The hydros?

Hello, Vern! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problems that you're having.
It's difficult to say, it could be due to any of them, or the combination of all of them.
However, if I had to make a guess, I'd assume that the Lyrica was the most likely culprit. Those are all known side effects of it that tend to occur the longer someone is on it. The FDA lists other potential side effects of it as possibly including dry mouth, weight gain and memory problems.
Have you consulted your doctor? They should be able to help you determine and eliminate the offending medication.
