dose per day is important...a few months is not usually an addictio dose if u used them as prescribed..but if u have had prior addiction issues, it doesnt take much to get u back on the pill train..not a fun place to be!

I u have no addiction issues in the past but r starting to feel a need for them..then it is time to let go and use sumpin safe for pain..talk to ur dr before tis gets outta hand..sweaty in the am is often due to sleep 8 hours or so without pills, hence u wake up in mild wds..not a good sign..take care of it soon if u can

It is common to wake up with nausea during opiate withdrawal. However, you say you want to get off of percocet too. I'm assuming that you are still taking percocet, are you taking through a doctor as prescriped or off the streets, big difference.  And how many are you taking a day???  I know when i was addicted to hydro's and percs my withdrawal would start about 4-6 hours after my last dosage.  So if you are taking your last dose at say 4 pm, if you wake up at 8 am then that is 16 hours since your last dose and you probably would feel withdrawal symptoms. Thats just an example, but I'm curious to know how many you are taking and how often????

Curious,
Need more details, how many were you taking per day, did you stop taking them? What all were you taking?
