percocet withdrawal how long

im well aware of how it works but ive never been on percocet for this long nor has the pain ever been as bad as its been in the last year. ive now been taken percocet for 15 months straight with no break. i was up to 4 - 5/325mg tablets. i am now down by half of that and the first half was no fun. i decided to get down by the 2 pills then had to work for a month now i have time off and wondering if the second part of this will be worse then the first.

Hi, I'm a little confused. You said that you have been off Percocet since April except when another injury arises? When was the last time you took Percocet or any other Opiate before now? Also, you said that you were never addicted just physically addicted? I don't understand that. I'm sorry I don't really know your background. How much Percocet are you currently taking per day? It is possible that you will have withdrawal symptoms when you quit taking Percocet.

I have been taking Percocet for 9 months now. At most 4 5/325s per day. For the past month I have been cutting down. At noon today makes 24 hours with none. Right now my legs feel like they want to jump all over the house. I also feel like my skin is crawling. I do have legitimate pain issues from surgical adhesions, fibromyalgia and nerve damage. I am trying to manage that pain with over the counter meds, vitamins, and SNRIs now. I don't have anyone I can turn to for help.

How much were you taking per day. How long. It really depends. Withdrawl is not going to kill you. It can get pretty uncomfortable, but usually it has a lot to do with anxiety. You used the drugs for legitimate pain. A lot of the struggle of withdrawl is the helpless feeling of being a drug addict. You do not fall into that category. I would talk to the doctor tho. He put you on the medication. He is responsible for helping you get off it if you have become dependent.

s a lot to take in six days is why I ask . As far as withdrawals go it depends on how long you have been abusing and how much so if you can provide that information we will have more to work with .. Good luck ..

I was taking anywhere from 6-12 pills a day depending on the pill. How long does the withdrawal last and what symptoms do I have to look forward too? I already have sweating, anxiety, stomach cramps, tiredness, goosebumps, shivers. So here's the thing, I didn't have any pills all day Sunday, yesterday I had five 5/325 hydrocodones and today 1 hydro. I was trying to tapper down but it's not helping. So what is the worst I have to look forward too.

also i recently was on life/support for an infection and namonia a month ago, the doctor asked me how long i bin taken Percocet for, he said i should ask my doc to increase the dosage because after 8 years takeing 3 a day is like takeing 1 to 2 because i'm kinda immune to them, and yes i do feel they still help but not as good, question if i approach my doc on this will he think i'm hooked now, i don't want to get cut off, just manage my pain.

I have just weaned off oxycontin ( 90mg./day) but am still taking percocet once or twice a day for pain. I still need it for the pain. I have been having digestive problems so thats way I went off the long acting. Is my body going to get it's energy back and withdraw properly when I'm still taking percocet occassionally or am I just going to continue to feel like **** all the time going in and out of withdrawal????

After the first 7 days the physical withdraws will subside quite a bit. Stock up on items in the Thomas recipe...they will help!!!! How much and how long were you taking the percs? Stay strong and good luck to you!!

And if at all possible I will need someone to talk to tomorrow because I start feeling withdrawal after a bout 8-10 hrs. without any meds.Also how long will it last?Ive heard people say that the worst part is the first 1-2 days then its manageable but you still feel crappy.

hello and welcome to the forum and as far as methods there are alot of different methods out there but for you cold turkey along with some vitamins will be the best way because you were on a very low dose of meds and not for a very long time either so withdrawal wont be to bad and wont last long at all last time i went cold turkey i went from 350-400 mg of oxy a day so i was taking more than u took all day at once and the physical withdrawal lasted around 8 days so i would imagine for you it wou

If this is, in fact, drug withdrawal - as opposed to a virus - how long can I expect it to last? and, last, but not least, would flannel sheets help? RSVP I am going out of my mind. Thanks PS. I know that real pain is a part of the problem because I had shoulder surgery recently as well as my very-recent decompression/fusion surgery; but, still, this is ridiculous.

what is used to detox from percocet and how long does it take with drugs or cold turkey?

It depends. How long have you been on it, How much were you taking? How were you taking it, ex. snorting, chewing, shooting. It can (not will, CAN) take months if you are a severe and long term oxy user. Answer these and maybe I can help you more. Welcome to the forum..

Hi..Does anyone know how long these hellish withdrawl symtoms last...oh my sweet jesus...Day three of Percs..took up to 20 a day..last Friday I had seven pills left...Im so done with this..but its hard..I read the posts and realize how many people are going through what I am..Its nasty..oh my ...going to the doc this afternoon...going to get something to help me sleep..took the last three days off work..but nobody knows anything..kept this addition to myself...until now...

Long story short I am 47 hours into a cold turkey quitting of Percocet...anywhere from 35 to 50 mg a day. I tried tapering but no self control. So here I sit feeling like hell. Fatigue and diarrhea are the worst of it. I was addicted for four years. Can anyone tell me how much longer I will feel like this?

Hi and welcome to the forum...sounds like you in the middle of withdrawals..as for how long its going to last....its different for everyone but typically it usually runs its coarse in about 5 days with day 5 being where you start to see the light again...you had a pritty strong habit at 15 a day for 4 yrs so its going to be a grind the next few days...they make something called "highlands restful legs '' you can get it at walmart or walgreens it will help with the leg thing...
