Percocet Withdrawal

My kidney doctor has me on Percocet 5mg and I only have 1 left, i put a call into his office and I really think I have a problem with them (addiction), should I tell him this so that he can help ween me off them or just deal with the withdrawal symptoms I am already going through?

Please someone let me know, because if I have to explain this too him, I will have to call them back before they close!!!!  I only have one left and I don't want to use it unless I really need it, not just to push away the withdrawal symptoms.

But I am already getting the withdrawal symptoms!!!!

The Doc knows that you are DEPENDANT not addicted. If you donot need them for pain get off them with his help,but if you need them and the Doc agrees you should be put on a mscontin for twelve hour relief. Perks are a short acting med that people tend to get dependant on quickly.
