My boyfriend and I have been on and off for over 2 years. He started taking percocet the last year and a half. He has been on and off them for a while, the past 3-4 months he has been taking 12 pills a day. The first quarter of our relationship he wasn't taking any pills however we broke up after six months because he said he was losing feelings for me. Our relationship is a lot different now and more mature but we have brokem up several times because he wasn't sure he was in love with me and I would always bug him about it. We were apart during the summer. We broke up because he started going through withdrawal and I couldn't handle it he was a completely different person. We didn't speak for about 2 months and I saw him at the beach about a week after he started his withdrawal and I overheard him talking about another girl and I saw that he was texting her. He showed no emotion towards me. We got back together in Septemeber, he told me he did like the girl but he didn't care about her how he cared about me and I was always on his mind. We've been really happy recently but he has been taking perc's. He started his withdrawl yesterday and I can already tell he's changing he seems distants and barely shows affection and when he does it feels kind of forced and not to upset me. I know he's going through a very tough time and he's in a lot of pain but I don't know what to do. He swore to me that his love wasn't cause of percs and that if I would just wait it out that week or so he would prove to me that he really does love me and things would go back to normal. This is something he's already told me before and it hasn't been true at least I think it hasn't because we always broke. I would like some advice if people think that percocet can make you think you love someone, he would tell me I'm his universe and the love of his life. I don't think if that's because of percs or not and I would like feedback before I decide what I'm going to do about our relationship.

Help :(

Percoset for 1 1/2 years? Why did he start taking this? It is a drug that is highly addictive for one and an opiate derivative for another. He's hooked on the opiate in the drug having to take 12 a day is way too many per day. No doctor in his right mind would prescribe that many a day as this drug is regulated. Apparently he is buying them on the black market hence he's always broke. You would be too if you had that kind of a habit to support. He needs to get off that drug but it won't be easy. He is too high all day to want to either. You asking about how he can love you and then not love you - well, it's like this - he's higher than a kite and does not really care about anybody or anything except him and his little white pills. Stop beating yourself up over him and find a different boyfriend who is not a pill popper. This guy is going to be a mess for a long time. Do you really want to be a part of a mess?

I've been treated for pain with opiates like percocet and I can answer this question.

Percocet makes it easier for him to be cheerful, to ignore any things about you he does not like, and ignore any critical remarks you make. When it wears off, though he becomes very irritable. I also think that abandoning someone when they are trying to kick a drug habit because they aren't nice to be around is a kind of betrayal. I suspect that's why he snubbed you on the beach. He was hurt.

If I were you, I'd nurse him through the withdrawal. If he's serious this time--you be the judge of that--give him a couple of weeks and see what you think of the new him. If he's a jerk to you, or if you think he's sneaking pills, dump him.

Also maybe get him some damn help... If he is really poping up to twelve of those a day damn...

Anyway as Asking was saying, if you care about him stick around for awhile it's going to be very hard for him to get through those withdrawals and he is going to need you to help him through it. But you might have to play hardball with him if he tries to go back to them.

Yeah I'm doing my best to try and help him and supports him. But you're saying it is possible the percocet clouded his head to thinking he loves me? since that is pretty much the affect they have
