Percocet addiction

[Marleycatike]

I've been take 10/325 percocets for 7 years and have had enough. I was up to 80mg per day am now down to 20mg but suffer from severe leg pain and anxiety. I now want to go cold turkey. I'm also suffering from severe sweating. Please help. I have no Heath insurance. What's the best way to do this myself. I take them for 5 herniated and bulging disc but would rather deal with the back pain then take these drugs any longer.

Thanks for the update, wd is a serious mother refer. One of the hardest times of my life. I was taking 120mg daily. I tried tapering but jus couldn't, I felt rotten, was prolonging the wd and jus ended up taking more.
It was a rotten week, I was in a car crash 5 days ago n at the er they gave my morphine. Then at home the next day I took one perc (I tore a muscle in my lung) I was in so much pain but refused to take anymore, I can't go thru wd again. I'm going to try acupuncture for pain.
But I'm clean now, finally over my wd and feel like myself again. I feel so happy. It's weird but I actually have energy. My only symptom is a bit of restless leg n  not sleeping as well
I really hope you can do it, plz don't go on suboxide (sp?) The posts I am reading ppl r getting addicted to it.
It won't kill u to quit ct in percs, I hope u Decide to take the plunge! Good luck I am here for you

I tried but was so sick I just couldn't do it. I'm going to csll my doc to see if he will give me something to help. I've also cut way back on what I was taking and am taking less every couple of days. I think with something to help from my doc I can do it. I hope you are doing well and have gotten thru the worst of it.

I was in the exact same position as you. Taking tons of pills but could never jus quit. You are going thru withdrawal every day and making it so much harder on yourself! Look up the Thomas recipe for symptoms and post as Mich as you want n ask tons of questions... The ppl on here helped me so much, cuz we are all going through the same thing.
You can do it!!
