Re: Oxycodone (Oxycontin) for depression: How much?

In reply to Oxycodone (Oxycontin) for depression: How much?, posted by SLS on November 15, 2003, at 15:59:40

I have been prescribed 160mgs daily of oxycontin for chronic back pain I suffered from a traffic accident for the past 2 years. I can tell you from experience that it is not an anti-depressant. I take prozac, remeron and now lamictal for my depression. I wished that oxy had an antidepressant effect. Then I would not have to be on so many antidepressants. I have been on antidepressants for 12 years. I was on heavy doses of tylenol/codeine for 10 years prior to taking oxy as I could not tolerate vicodin. If anything the oxy may be exacerbating my depression. That is my layman's opinion.
