PERCOCET

How long does the internal shaking last?  I, of all people, cannot believe I let this happen to myself.  How long are withdrawals using 1/2 - 2 per day for 3 years.  ANYONE??

Thanks so much.  Yeah, I was only taking 5mg (1/2 of that) per day and sometimes went to 1 (5mg) to the most of 2 but not everyday.  I have taken at least a 1/2 every day.  I know this is a very low dose but I have been doing it for a long time.  Feel a little cloudy but otherwise, not too bad.  

Thanks so much for the tips.  It's so friggn hot out that I don't even want to leave the house, but that's not a good thing.  Too much time to think!

Thanks again.

Hi...I tapered from percs, 6-8 per day;  everytime I cut my does (every 2 days) I felt the change.  I took Aleve and drank Starbucks double expresso shots to keep me alert and focused while working.  I also drank alot of h20 and exercised. Answer to your question, about a week after you stop completely but no where near as bad if you stopped cold.

As Worried said, you're on a low dose and should be OK rather quickly.

Good Luck...You Can Do This,

Guy
