Percoset addiction

I'm currently taking percoset...have been for 3 years now. I need off of them. They are prescribed to me, as I have had chronic pain. There are days I dont think of taking them, but suddenly get violently sick and have to take some. Thats my reminder! I need help. I cant do rehab as I cant leave my family. What do I do?

Can you talk to your drs and tell them you want off? They should be able to help you and give you a taper plan to wean you off of them. They are your best bet.

As Lisa said above, a taper is good idea if you can stick to a plan...sounds like you can because you aren't consciously thinking about taking the meds.  I was on percocets as well and successfully tapered on my own and with the help from this site...

You can do this...good luck.
