It gave me energy. My doctor knew all of this, and it was all good until I realized that I was needing more and more of the Percocets, and knew it couldn't be good for me. Duh. Only took me 7+years. The good news is that I no longer, psychologically anyway, miss the Percs. I think my body just hasn't gotten the message, yet

Because narcotics hyper stimulate the brain, it can take quite a while to feel "normal" again. You may feel bored, lethargic, unmotivated. But it will pass!
