Physical Dependence Question

Physical Dependence Question

If one just finished going through physical withdrawals from an OC habit and then immediately after took percs for back pain (I have chronic back pain with 6 herniated discs), how long do you think it would take to build a physical dependence again?  I took 7 10/325 percs that were prescribed to me and then 20 or so hours later I felt mostly fine, but a little off balance.  I want to make sure that I can set a regimine up where I can take the percs when needed to manage my pain, but only enough so I don't develop a bad physical dependence considering I just finished a detox.

And just to clarify, I took the first 10/325 perc two days after the physical withdrawal symptoms ended and then 6 more over a 2 day period.  I then stopped for about 20 hours with no physical withdrawal symptoms.  I only plan on taking as needed for pain and no more than one every four hours, but want to avoid physical dependence for good.
