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

Hi, This is my firdt time posting on this site but I am so glad I am....I have been taking Percocet for-ever.  It started when I was about 20.  I would do them occasioanally but really wasnt addicted...I actually sopped all together about 2 yrs ago....But now I am back...I basically take whatever I can get my hands on...sometimes I may get Vics other time Oxy's, Pirks, whatever I can get...I have been trying to stop, but the second I get the chills I cant take it...I actuallu stole Pirks off my mom one time when her Neck went out....This addiction is HORRIBLE....Anyway, I am tring to stop , buying these off the street is killing me, I am constantly broke and my LIVE - IN BF has NO clue.  I took the last of what I had this morning and am BROKE.I know I cantbuy anymore and am so scared of the Withdrawl.....does anyone have anymore at home remmedies I can use to ease the withdrawl??


Thanks- Addicted

On a Clear Day...I see you've been here as long as I have.  A lot of changes since 2007.  For example, this thread is 12 yrs old.  I'm not sure how you found this discussion...if it was brought to the top of the forum by another comment or you found it in Related Discussions...but with 'new forums', you have to check the dates carefully.  :)

I want to say thank you and congrats to you all. My husband has been taking Percocet 20-30 a day.  He knows he has an addiction and we are just beginning our battle.  I am hoping we (especially he) can go through this.  Reading these post have helped alot and I will be checking back.  Again thank you.

Hi. Yep, that is what I meant be slipping a couple times.  My son had them, he is going to be going to treatment soon and I let him come to my house and of course until he is gone, he will be using so not to go into wd just yet.  I saw that vic and wasn't feeling to energetic that day and thought what the heck one can't hurt.....well this time it didn't and I did one each for three days in a row.  So that was three slips I guess.
I didn't have any wd from those and they evened me out somewhat I guess.  Didn't feel like the good ole days, probably because I was hesitant in not only taking it, but same as you wondered if it was just going to get that ball rolling again, or if I could actually handle just taking one once in awhile.  I wouldn't want to test that too many times and haven't since.  Keep up the fight my friend, you are doing great.  Good luck on the other thing..benzos was it.  I'm feeling kinds stupid, I have seen that a couple times now but don't know what anybody is talking about.  Sending you a hug for good measure!

First - congrats on coming forward to your husband.  That shows true courage - and desire to conquer this thing!

With that kind of support - you will be able to do this.  Can you go to your doc and ask for support from him/her to get you through the withdrawl?

Bottom line, despite the strenght of the meds - you will feel w/d.  You will be miserable.  It is not a fun place.  As you read through the posts - some quit cold turkey and others taper their dosage down.

What you will need most is someone to watch the kids while you go through this.  And since you have an ally in your spouse - that will help.

Read through all the past posts - and you'll see what you are to face - and it isn't pretty.  if you have questions - ask a question - so it is posted at the top and many others will see it.  

Good luck - and please do keep us posted on your situation.

None of us wanted to be in this situation - but that is how we found this site.
