Go to the Addiction Community forum, and ask for the Thomas protocol. They will help you over there.

You can, also, glean much information by reading old threads on that forum.

DO NOT STOP TAKING IT!!! Did that after surgery one day I didn't hurt so I just stopped....BAD IDEA Called the Dr first thing he did was have me take two and then we started tappering off. Please be carefull. Did u take all these for pain or pleasure? If your dr perscribed these then he'll help u come off them. Good Luck

I would not come off without a docs supervision, it could be dangerous! I stopped percocet after only a month of use because my chest felt heavy, was full of fear, had scary thoughts and my felt like I was going to have a heart attack. That night decided it was from the percocet, so I did not take my usual dose and ended up in the ER. So, be careful!
