Whats "hydo"?? If your'e only taking 1 now then YES...get off it while you can..before it turns into more and more ...like me  :(
I wish you all the luck pecto. Let me know how you do ok.

Thanks. It started out in my cervix and has just had a wonderful trip to other areas of my body. Every time they think they've got it BAM ..it shows up somewhere else. I'm stubborn and a fighter so I'm not giving up by any means. I intend to beat it along with the addiction...somehow...some way. I just don't know how yet. Thats one of the reasons I'm here on this forum. I just opened my browser & typed in "Percocet Addiction Chat" and found this forum. I'm trying everything I can.

Wow I am so sorry about the Cancer what type do you have?

[PercGirl]

I am fighting Cancer & that is the original reason I was put on them. They've tried me on many different things for pain but the percocet has been the only one that has worked somewhat so far. I've been on it for about 4 years now I think.

I was on Percs 7.5/325 everyday from the doctor for 1.5 yrs near the end of my active addiction.......

Why are you taking percs if you don't mind me asking........and for how long have you been taking the percs......

[PercGirl]

I'm still on the percocet. It started out for pain relief for a serious illness I have. I've tried to stop taking them & no sucess so far. I don't take more then 2 at a time but am finding I need to take them every 3 hours about. I feel like I'm going to lose my mind when I do try to stop!! The doctor's answer is actually to put me on morphine & that would be worse I think. I was on it before & it made me feel "wonky" to say the least, altho it did help the pain. Now it's not only the pain I'm dealing with but also the "emotional stability" I feel when I "give in" and take the percocet. I am not on Xanax but am on lorazepam for the anxiety. I only take 2 of those at night to help me sleep. Thank god I have'nt become addicted to those too...yet!! I say "yet" because I know its possible!

there will always be some anxiety with almost everything in life that is stressful, if you have severe panic attacks normally quitting using drugs will almost for sure cause some anxiety problems.......
Are you currently perscribed Xanax for anxiety now?
