Hi! I was addicted to Oxycodone and Hydrocodone for a few years and a few weeks after I went cold turkey I had to have a root canal. I was prescribed Percocet and took them as prescribed and did not experience any withdrawal symptoms. You should be OK in my opinion.

Thank you,I also had a ear infection so I finished them..Nothing today...so I start over I guess.
Well, hopefully you are feeling good and that 16 wasn't enough to put you into withdrawals or crave more.

I had a similar issue a while back where I had gone only a couple weeks clean, and was given the same thing for a pulled tooth, except the antibiotics were different, but I was only given 16 of the hydrocodone 10's and since it was such a minimal amount, and I took it as it was prescribed, I had no withdrawals at all. Just kind of craved having more, which sucked, but passed quickly. I"m currently 24 days clean for what seems like the 100th time. Hope this helps
