Hi there, I'm glad to hear they've taken you off the Oxy. Man, you hear about the 'addiction' thing all the time when it comes to narcotic pain killers, but don't often hear about the brain reaction that can be experienced if there is a sensitivity or allergy to the med. My sweetie has a horrific reaction to Percocet, so no opiate meds for him. Even the synthetic version of Morphine (Hydra-Morphone sp??) set him off, although it took several weeks instead of just one day as it was with the Percocet. These meds wreak havoc with his brain and the worst part is, he's aware it's happening but cannot stop it.

I will personally take to task any doctor who ever prescribes these meds for him again. The risks are too great. I'm glad hubby took you to ER so they could find this. And I truly hope he recognizes the serious nature of this.

Hugs,

Kat
