Percocet Withdrawal? How long?

[suzi338]

Need to know how long it takes to detox percocet?  My legs feel really jittery and uneasy, is this normal, when will the leg problem go away?  I am off because my Dr is on vacation and I had no choice.  I also am taking classes in school and would like to know if taking the percocet caused me not to grasp information.  Does it affect your concentration.  How long will it take to get my brain back to the normal functioning state.Thanks .

Usually the physical withdrawal will last anywhere for 3 to 5 days. The craving can go on for a bit longer , but after the 3rd day things should start getting better. Hot baths might help your les and exercise ( believe I or not) ..The more you move around the better you will feel….

Hi Suzi and welcome.
Percocet definitely affects your concentration and your ability to grasp information. How much were you taking and for how long.
Were you taking it for pain for did you just enjoy it?
The detox varies for everyone but typically it can last from 3 to 7 days.  The withdrawal symptoms usually peak on days 3 and 4.  Again everyone is different.
