Percocet side effects and withdrawal, please help!

[nancy]

I have been on Percocet for 4 months for a herniated disk.  I was taking half a day, then one a day, then up to 6 a day.  Then I started having awful side effects.  My back pain got worse, my tongue was swelling some, and had stomach pain too.  Then I had my lumbar injection and the pain got worse.  I am scared this is an allergic reaction.  I had my lumbar steroid injection, and the pain got worse, so my Dr prescribed Tylenol 4.  I haven't taken the Percocet in over a day now, as it has scared me.  I took the Tylenol 4 only twice yesterday.  Last night however, I woke up drenched in cold sweat.  Is this from stopping the Percocet?  My bowel movements have even changed color to a lighter shade, and that's what scared me too.  I am trying to get off these myself, and want to know what I am going to end up going through.    Do I need to not take the Tylenol 4 too?  Now, I am scared to take anything, but also don't want to die from taking the Percocet when the pain gets bad.  If a take half a Xanax, will that help to get through this?  This is terrible, and I don't wish this on anyone.

i personally have never been addicted to percocets but i know the effect it has on you. i have a very close family member who is addictied to them and without them they cant get through the day. the best thing to do is accept the fact that you have a addiction and to not deny it. accepting it will help you to better figure out how to get out of the addiction. talk with friends,family and your doctor to get through it all. you may think now that there is no way you can be helped but you can. keep positive and things will start to get better. have faith and beleive in yourself

I am 43 male. 5-5, 142lb. At the age of 30 I had a heart attack and had triple bypass open-heart surgery. I suffered depression. I got better from it; 9 years later I suffered 2nd heart attack and ended up with 5 bypass surgeries. Since the 2nd operation I was given percocet. First 6 months I hated it, I get 10/650 100pills and suppose to take 4 a day as needed. I am on it for 4 years. Lately I finish them in 3 weeks. I know I am an addict because I tried to get these pills using fake script. If I take too many of them, my stomach feels like I have flu. If I don’t take that many I feel like in pain everywhere, it feels like I need a massage. Can anyone help me please?
