percocet

[patmac23]

I'm I having withdrawl or not I stopped taking percocet 40 hrs ago and lying in bed tonight my hands and shoulders were aching so bad I was tossing and turning I got up and took 2 10's Percocet and 1 10 Oxycontin and now I'll spend the rest of the night in my recliner , The question is, is my pain a reaction to stopping the Percocet . I've gone through this time and time again only to have the pain over whelm me . I would take them Sunday morning then see how long I can go before the pain overwhelms me . I don;t get upset stomach or some of the other things I've heard about just a lot of pain . What should I do ?

It very well could be.  I noticed when I stopped the pain was magnified ten times but after those 2 magical weeks you will feel much batter.  After that each day gets easier and easier.  If you are wanting to quit you have to completely get rid of them.  It is way to easy to say I will only take a half. They have to be completely gone. If not you will never do it.

Yes sounds a lot like the typical ....it will be a radiating pain in your limbs almost like you want to keep moving them around does it get the feeling in your legs as well? Next time it happens get in a hot bath or shower. If its withdrawls then they will subside WHILE in the hot water. It does come back shortly after but ive taken over 20 showers in a day before just to stop the pain. Hope this helps and good luck with everything.

Is sounds to me like typical withdrawals. You must endure the pain of withdrawal  for about 5 days before it gets any better.
