Can percocets cause depression?

[slgalberth]

I was wondering if the percocets could be causing me to feel really depressed? I've been taking 75mg a day for 8 months.

Yes,after awhile your tolewrance gets so high that you actually get disphoric.You either have to switch to a stronger opiate as percocet's aren't very strong or you can detox and start to feel better.Good luck.....Dave
