> I just posted a message about my experience with Dilaudid, but in reading your post I recalled that in 1987, when I was 24, in college, I found an old bottle of Percodan in my boyfriend's house and asked if I could take one. He can't tolerate pain meds, so he said sure, it's all yours.

> For the next two weeks I was in heaven. I hadn't been diagnosed for panic disorder at that point, but up to that point, as much as I loved college, I was scared every single day. On Percodan, however, I found that I could do anything (like speak up in class), felt 100% confident and fearless, and I did better work than I ever did before in my life. Sleep was wonderful.

> Then I ran out of pills the night before I had to go to a day-long seminar. I was a wreck. All the magic was dead and gone. It didn't take long for me to withdraw, but I really wanted to try it again, so I went to my boyfriend's dentist, feigning a toothache, and he prescribed me some more.

> Strangely, the Percodan I got this time (compared to the vintage bottle from c. 1982), made me sick to my stomach and barely produced any worthwhile buzz. I've noticed that about nearly all prescription opiates since then. Were drug companies forced to add a component to produce nausea instead of euphoria in order to discourage addiction? It sure discouraged me from taking any more Percodan.

I agree with you. Did you get real percocet or one of the many generics out there? Some of them are real crappy.

Brand name oxycontin which has the same naroctic ingrediant as perocet (oxycodone) is very nice.
