Withdrawl - fatigue - How long

[PerciMan]

I was on up to 5 pills a day of Percocet 10/325 for 1 year.  I decided I've had enough of everything that goes with taking drugs, so I quite on Mon. July 21 (that's 9 days so far).  I must say, withdrawal was/is hell, but I've made it this far and I'm not giving up.  I was feeling a bit better after the 5th day, but I'm still feeling quite a bit of fatigue.  Like extream gravity on my body.  My legs are tired and heavy, and the pain that I had before I was taking the Percocet seems to be worse.  I'm considering a Pain Control Clinic that's drug free, but my question is - are these fatigue symptoms normal for this amount of time withdrawing?

Thanks,
David

Fatigue for me was the worst part and it took a while to go away...the vitamins and exercise helped me the most

I agree, the fatigue and sluggishness are related to w/d.  Your body has just been through a cyclone and now is regaining its strength.  Hang in there.  Try to get your natural endorphins going by doing some exercise every day.  I know it's hard w/o energy, but it will do wonders.

Thanks for the response.  It's good to know that my fatigue is probably more due to the withdrawal than perhaps something else.  So, about three weeks?  Something  to look forward to.  Thanks again.

Hi there, I was taking the same thing as you for about the same amount of time. I have been off and on. You made it throught the real hard part but My experience was that the fatigue did linger and it very slowly, gradually went away. I think like 2 to 3 weeks.
