Norco After Effects

Updated

I had back surgery in July and was given Norco for about three months. Tapering was some of that. I didn't know that Norco was like Vicodin which the doctor knew I couldn't take. I went from high doses tapering down for three months not knowing that that was what was making me sick. I've been off for five months and have felt horrible all this time. Weak, tired, stuffed head, just sick. What do I have to do to get well.? I had depression about 20 years ago but got well with ECT and anti depressants. I've been taking Effexor and Xanax all this time and have felt wonderful. Now this has made me sick again. Could this have caused more depression?

Hello, Chris! How are you feeling?

Withdrawal effects from Norco wouldn't linger this long after stopping it. They tend to only last a couple of weeks, at most.

The FDA lists them as possibly including nausea, diarrhea, depression, chills and rebound pain.

You may be experiencing some side effects from your other medications. Have you had this checked out?

How often do you take the Effexor and Xanax and how much do you take of each?

Thank you. I will have more checked out. I'm going to a psychiatrist in a couple more weeks. Maybe I'll find something ou there. I just know I've been going through hell for 8 months since the surgery. Some days a little better than others.

I've been on Xanax for 29 years 1 mg twice a day but have had to increase it since I had surgery. Also was on Effexor 15o mg for 20 years. Both of these with no problem until back surgery. I've been reading up on anesthesia and that may be my problem. Sometimes it can last for a long time and the effects are similar to what I'm reading. Especially if you are older and under anesthetic a for quite awhile. I was under 4 hours and 78 years old. I don't know if they had a brain monitor on me.

Oh yes, anesthesia could do it, too, as reported by the NIH and it could also be a combination of all.

I've had full anesthesia twice in my life, so far and I hated it both times. It was days, before I could hold anything down.

I hope you get to the root of the problem. Please post back and keep me updated.

1 Effexor 150 mg once a day and mostly 3-4 x for Xanax especially since I've felt so bad. Some days I think it's over and then it comes back. I'm beginning to think by what I read that it's more the anesthesia.
