A member asked:

What do you suggest if i have been taking lortab lorcet (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) percocet for 6 years just for fun. when i stop i'm really tired?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

You are having: opioid withdrawal, and fatigue, lassitude and general lack of energy is a common symptom. This is in part because your body has stopped making endorphins, your body's own opioids. I strongly suggest you get involved in a treatment program, since 6 years of opioid abuse for "fun" likely means there are underlying psychological/psychiatric issues as well, and help/support will improve your chances.
