Hello!  I wrote last week about a couple I have been seeing.  They 
delivered by c/sec, after a failed induction, in LA, at because their 
unborn had a suspected non-functioning kidney.  She took a five day 
course of Percocet, two capsules every four hours starting from her 
immediate post-op period.  After she got back to SLO, she got a 
second five day Rx from her local OB and took a second five day 
course, also two caps every four hours.  Within 24 hours of her last 
dose she suffered immediate anxiety and crying jags which was very 
unlike her.  It was her darling psychiatrist husband who figured out 
what was going on.  They consulted one of his colleagues who 
confirmed the sweating, nausea, vomited, diarrhea, and dilated pupils 
as narcotic withdrawal.  They offered her one dose of a synthetic 
narcotic plus two doses of Atavan.  She was better right away.  This 
absolutely blew my socks off!  I can't imagine how many other moms 
have experienced this and never got a diagnosis and treatment.
