Although the gabapentin maybe making you feel funny, this is also true for the percocetts:
Buprenorphine itself binds more strongly to receptors in the brain than do other opioids, making it more difficult for opioids (or opiates) to react when buprenorphine is in the system. The blockade effect also has the result of blocking endogenous endorphins from binding to receptors, which can lead to psychological alterations in mood and mental capacity. This can cause cognitive and memory deficiencies via blockade of the reward system, which is pertinent to memory formation and normal mental function. My patch has been giving me a headache but no loss in mental/cognitive function... yet... sigh... J. |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buprenorphine is that the butrans would be the cause of cognitive and memory deficiencies by blocking the endogenous endorphins from binding to the receptors - not the percocet. Oxycodone has some deliterious effects on some few patients, but generally with opioid-naive patients. More often it may have euphoric/calming effects, which wear off in time, (would be blocked by the butrans) and would not be likely with a patient who has taken percocet for a very long time. The two 800 lb. gorillas in the room appear to be the butrans and/or gabapentin, and since the problematical effects seem to be abating, this (hopefully) won't be an issue for very much longer anyway. Doc

Yeh, maybe I read that a little wrong.
hey not to steal anyones thread, but this seems to be a Butran thread. Why would Butran cause dehydration? I spoke with my physical therapist and she said that pain meds cause dehydration and I am thinking the headache is from the dehydration caused by the Butrans? Seems to be working since I started drinking more water no headache so far... sigh... also having some heart palpitaions?? Thanks |

http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/info...nstipation.php Headaches from opioids usually fade within a few days as the body adjusts to the medication. Palpitations are also a known side effect, but could also be more serious; I'd call your doctor about that. Dehydration will cause a headache - that's pretty much what a hangover is. Doc

I'd like to say that I got my headaches(migraines) to calm down by not only drinking gatorade (sugar free) but I added MILK.
I'm not exactly sure why the milk works, but I believe it stimulates the liver to release it's toxin's. Anyway, thought I would mention it in case anyone else is having the same issue. They also added gabapentin to my regime today.. argh.. J. |

Gatorade, I get - electrolytes. Milk is often named as a trigger/causal effect of migraine, but it's also mentioned as both abortive and prophylactic due to its calcium content. These could both be clues if you get migraines other times. Doc

I will try taking calcium and see if that does anything... I couldnt find any literature about it, just a random post and i remembered something about drinking milk with LSD from way way back when (i'm older)... lol..
Cath1 - I would be very interested in your results if you try drinking milk? |
