percocet withdrawal

by sweet_sadie, Jul 03, 2009 11:13AM

I have been on percocet for over 5 years, I have stopped cold turkey. I am now experiencing diarea (diarrhea) and I am wondering how long it will take for my body to heal?

I have been taking 4-5 daily.

If anyone can help I would greatly appriciate it.

First....use immodium for the loose stools. You may want some emetrol for the stomach also. Within 5-10 days you will most likely be past withdrawals and into recovery. Then the other part can start. Cut off all connections and ties. Tell the Doc that you wont need any more...delete "friends" and dealers that may supply you....cancel any further refills at the pharmacy. Learn as much as you possibly can about this problem. And keep posting here with questions and for support.....

Hi. I am a rookie here and only stopped taking about 6 hydrocodone/ day six days ago. I have diareah but its not real bad and seems to be lessening the last couple of days. I think "healing" times vary but from what i am reading the worst is over in a week and then a couple of weeks of lesser stuff.

Myself after 6 days i am mainly just tired during the day and have trouble sleeping at night.
I know one thing. It aint no fun and you are gonna have to suck it up and tough it out but its really not even as bad as having the flu so remember that when u feel awful. Good luck!
