Percocet Withdrawal

[Primo25]

I,ve been taking Percocet for about two yrs now, I originally started taking 3 10mg per day, My tolerance of course went up little by little.  To make a long story short, I was taking 15 percocet 10mgs per day, I never messed with any else, I came to terms with myself and told my self I had to stop, I've now been clean for 5 days and I'm going through hell, I can't sleep, I'm sweating, and very anxious, I can't relax my legs or arms, its horrible, I try to shake it out but it comes back within minutes.  I do not want to take any Suboxone or any other drugs to get my ween myself off.  I did this to myself this is why I chose to go cold turkey, can someone please tell me how long I will withdrawal for, when am I going to stop feeling depressed, and basically when can I  go back to my normal life.  I have been drinking lots of Green tea, and  been taking detox remedies in hope that it will help me through the withdrawal, I dont even want to smoke anymore where all it does is make me feel worse, pls help any info on what I can do or anticipate would be appreciated, sorry for the poor grammer at work rushing to get my thoughts down

Hey,I hopelessly addicted to percocet,I keep trying to stop but the withdrawl kills me.I'll go 3 days without with good intentions then make a call and start it over again.My wife found out and wants me to go to rehab.I still had pills and agreed with her.I planned on going but wanted to get some more until i went.Well now i am out and i havent called and the withdrawl starts again I dont know if i'll do rehab or if a reg pysician can help with presc. pills to relieve tiredness,aches,anxiety,patience.I'm so tired of this ride it's taken over.All i think about is getting more and i dont feel great when i use,I just feel like im prolonging the withdrawl alittle longer.Im tired

Oxy,

Welcome. You should start your own post by going to the top of this page and hitting the green "Post A Question" button. This is an old post and it is getting huge and hard to follow.

There is plenty of help here and methods to help with the withdrawal process. Hope to see you start your own post, let people get to know you and hang around. You can get through this!

i have been snorting OC's and oxy 30s for about 6mths now. I require a minimum of 30 mil a day to function without withdrawal. Anyone know anything beside soboxin that helps with the withdrawls?

ive been taking percocets for about 2 1/2 years I was up to just about 30-10mg pills a day. It's been really hard to quit cold turkey the past few days I've gotten down to about 6 pills, yet still feeling withdrawls. Is there anything I can do to make the withdrawls symptoms subside??? I work 7 days a week I need something to help me think and function! =(

Glad to hear that people are getting help. i have been sober now for 16 months.It would of been 24 months but I relapsed. A BIG WORD OF ADVISE IF YOU RELAPSE GET HELP AS QUICK AS YOU CAN NO MATTER WHAT THE CONSICUENCES, IF YOU CONTINUE IT ONLY GET WORSE THAN BEFORE YOU QUIT AND I MEAN REALLY BAD.Its like the saying goes your addiction is workingout waiting for you to fail, and if you slip it takes over.A good aid for helping to cope with cravings is chocolate. I was a drinker, so I traded my alcohol addiction for diet coke.Its funny most addicts drink diet coke I Know its for the cafinne , but why diet coke?Anyway stay strong go too meetings,Talk to people in AA and if you are really new to sobriety go to as many meeting s as possible.Stay away from people place and things that might trigger thoughts of drinking or drugging.
If you do fall off the wagon get right back on,dont be afraid to ask for help.Trust me everything gets better, The bad parts are still there and they are hard to deal with sober but easier to resolve with a clear mind. Good luck

I have been taking percocet for 3 years. My doctor was prescribing me 30 every 5-6 days. All of a sudden he decided not to refill my prescriptions. Now i am going through horrible pains. I know its a good thing to be off the drugs, but how the hell do i get through this? I asked him for something to help with the withdrawal and he said i dont need anything, i'll be fine.
