Percocet wihdrawls-HELP

I have been taking percocet for almost 3 years now at 6o mg a day. I've cut down a little and want to get off of them. Also i lost my insurance and cant afford to pay for it. How long do the severe withdrawls last? It seems never ending and I had thyroid cancer which was removed but it causes alot of physical problems too. I want to quit but we have so much going on in our lives this would be a bad time for me to stop. But i want and need to but how long is this gonna last? I don't want my happy 2yr old daughter seeing me go through this. PLEASE HELP.

  You can do it! I am on day 5 of coming off of oxy. And I will be honest. Day 4 was my worst day. Last night I slept the most I have in 4 nights. I was sleeping about 2 hours a night, last night I had 5 hours of broken sleep, but better then 2 hours. You can do it - Mind stron and do it for your daughter! I find taking a hotbath or shower will help your muscels a little. Best of luck

Hi Tiffany.

The w/d's last about 5 to 7 days. You will feel hot, cold, restless legs, can't sleep, body aches,bathroom issues. The worse is the first 3 to 4 days. Feels like the flu x10
Look for thomas recipie in the health pages it really helps.
Any time is a bad time to quit when you addicited.
You can do this.
