Percocet Withdrawals
by brit16, May 02, 2008 11:04AM
My boyfriend had gotten neck surgery about a year an a half ago, and he got addicted to percocet's (around 12 a day). Recently his neck started bothering him again, and he got addicted again. Now he's taking 20 a day. He got into trouble yesterday and is now in prision withdrawing. What should i expect when he gets out today? He's coming off them cold turkey and I'm nervous for him. Is there anything I can do to help?

I doubt there is anything you can do to stop him from continuing to abuse his meds. It's such a double-edged sword when an addict has legitimate pain that needs to be treated. Since you have no power over his actions, that leaves you with a choice yourself. Either stay and live with his behavior, or leave.
