Good luck with the interview.  Were you on Percocet for legitimate pain?  It seems like a strong dose to start you out on....10mg 4 times a day.  That would make most people sick starting out with that.  That isn't a lot compared to some but it is still quite a bit, but it sounds like you weaned down some and that is good.  I think percocet makes people kind of unstable with their emotions after a while.  BUT since you weren't on them for too long you probably won't have that bad of withdrawals....however, I don't know.  I am going through withdrawing from pain meds for the first time in my life.  I had to take take pain meds for legitimate pain that was absolutely horrible.

I was down to one or two Percocet 5mg and took my last dose around 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday so I guess I am 49 hours out.  I did great yesterday.  I thought I would have no withdrawals.  My husband thinks I am silly because I am so concerned about the withdrawals because I did it so drawn out (under a doctor's supervision) I was actually down to 1/2 tablet twice day.  There were a couple of days of peaks of pain that I did take two.  I am sure I will still have to take some here and there if the pain gets bad (the pain isn't completely resolved but much better since surgery) but not on a daily basis.  That is what I want to stop.  Even though I still have pain I want to be able to just not take pain meds daily.  It is just something I want for myself.  And I know I will feel better in the end.  And I want the pain meds to actually work better when I have acute pain when it flares up.  Sorry to go into my own story.....just thought I would share.  I do hope your interview goes well....I will say a prayer.

It helps the few out thier to hear that tapering can work! It is not for everyone BUT it can work for the few. We need you both to come back after and you do stop and report on what is happening with your W/D useing a taper. It can save someone.

WOW i already got a job offer!  Its not a very good one at all, but at least i know that if i cant find something better, ihave something to fall back on!  WOOOHOOO!!!
