Don't be scared by all the horror stories about getting off percs, oxycontin, oxycodone, etc. Go see a caring doctor and get a script for 60 Clonidine ad 60 Diazapam (Valium). I took the valium the first day because of the nervousness of what lay in store but that was all I took.

5 days later you emerge a bit tired and weak but the whole process is VERY easy if you don't mind being housebound for a while (which I do).

Everyone is different; some might have significant diarrhea, others might get nauseated but in general, the process is not hard. The Clonidine removes all symptoms i.e. leg cramps, sweating, etc. and if you want to sleep through the ordeal, take a Valium.
