I had oral surgery done last Friday (24th) and was given Percocet 10/325 for the pain and ibuprofen 800mg for the swelling.
I started taking one percocet every 3 hours for the first 3 days and since then I've been taken one every 4-5 hours.
I've read that it can become very addictive and lead to withdrawal symptoms when the course is stopped. I'm hoping to not be taking the pills come Monday so I can drive to work again.
My questions are, how long do I need to have been off the pills do you think for it to be safe for me to drive? How long does it take to flush out of me?
Secondly, should I expect to suffer from withdrawal symptoms if I did stop at the end of Saturday after taking the pills for just over a week?
Thanks in advance for any information and advice you can give.

Unless you have an unusually addictive personality, you should not experience any addiction or withdrawal symptoms. You should be able to drive within 24 hours of stopping the medication.
