Percocet Withdrawal

[Primo25]

I,ve been taking Percocet for about two yrs now, I originally started taking 3 10mg per day, My tolerance of course went up little by little.  To make a long story short, I was taking 15 percocet 10mgs per day, I never messed with any else, I came to terms with myself and told my self I had to stop, I've now been clean for 5 days and I'm going through hell, I can't sleep, I'm sweating, and very anxious, I can't relax my legs or arms, its horrible, I try to shake it out but it comes back within minutes.  I do not want to take any Suboxone or any other drugs to get my ween myself off.  I did this to myself this is why I chose to go cold turkey, can someone please tell me how long I will withdrawal for, when am I going to stop feeling depressed, and basically when can I  go back to my normal life.  I have been drinking lots of Green tea, and  been taking detox remedies in hope that it will help me through the withdrawal, I dont even want to smoke anymore where all it does is make me feel worse, pls help any info on what I can do or anticipate would be appreciated, sorry for the poor grammer at work rushing to get my thoughts down

I'm at work right now, trying to sit at my desk and bear though this.  I take anywhere from 4-12 perc/day for about 1 1/2 yrs and it's getting way too expensive.  I can't take the time off from work so I'm suffering at my desk.  Runny nose and eyes, horrible lower back pain, restless legs, chills, clammy crawly skin.  How do I get though this???

I didnt read the entire thread, but Valium is seriously addictive and if you are using it to come off of narcotic pain meds you might just end up trading addictions.

I would do some research on Bupernorphine, I've heard it works well- its an opiate antagonist and helps alleviate nearly all withdrawals. I know in the state of Oregon physicians have to be licensed to prescribe regimented programs for bupernorphine.

Use the valium as directed and it should help you alot. If you go to the back to forum link you will be moved to the current forum and you can post a new thread.. Mike

I don't hear many mention work?? I'm in a really hard situation! I don't have any scheduled time off. My boss doesnt like to pay for sick leave or vac. except they give us 2 weeks at Christmas. Well I know I can't wait that long but I really want to quit I know how sick i get and I'm desperate for advice! I'm single and have my own place so I can't afford to lose my career or all I worked this long for. Also I'm 27 and have been at my present job only 7 mths so I really don't have the kind of pull to jus ask off! Please help
