percocet withdrawal symptoms

I would like to say if you think your little addictions are bad you need to go see a doctor. I broke my back falling out of a tree in Alaska, a branch went though my stomach and broke my back. I would much rather have a little pill addiction than go through the pain that I have to go though every day. You all make me sick, I couldn't imagine any of you ever having enough pain to actually complain about. I would trade one tenth of my pain for all of your little addictions combined, still I laugh at the low mind control you all have. If any of you actually knew what pain is,.. try having a branch go though your stomach, breaking 6 of your ribs, and your back in 3 different places. My stomach was infected for the first 6 months and I was hospitalized for 8 months. The pain I go though is so extreme I stay up for weeks at a time, until the pain just became a part of my everyday life. Finally my body built up a threshold for pain so high that I can finally sleep. My doctors told me that if my pain was transferred into someone else with out any warning they would die from shock. I don't take any pain medicine because reading these little blogs make me sick to my stomach, and all the pain medicine I've taken doesn't take the pain away it just gets me high. And believe me Ive take the strongest pain medicine from 100mg Oxycontin, all the way to injections of heroine. None of it takes pain away, only makes you high. So when writing your articles just realize that people have pain, and still dont take all this c**p, you can quit if you want to you just don't want to cause your afriad of a little pill withdraw. GET OVER IT... IT ONLY LAST ABOUT THREE DAYS THEN YOUR BODY IS NO LONGER PHYSICALLY ADDICTED, ITS ONLY YOUR MIND AFTER THAT. You all make me sick

To Whom It May Concern.



Beware of some doctors, doctors have sales representatives that come to visit them. These sales representatives are agents from pharmaceutical companies. Their job is to push certain medicines at these doctors to sail from their company. You may sometimes see these representatives when you are sitting in the waiting room. They will be well dressed in a business suit most of the time carrying a portfolio. They may even go in to see your doctor ahead of you even when it may have even be your time.



Here is how it works. The pharmaceutical company at no cost to the doctor offers and expensive week alone vacation at a luxurious vacation spot places like Bermuda, Florida, California etc. At no cost of course to the doctors. During which time the doctors are well treated in hopes that these doctors we'll prescribe that particular pharmaceutical companies medications (pills). It is a multibillion dollar a year industry. They do not care what happens to you if you take too many or if you take them for too long. The longer the better, the longer you take the them the more you take thim the more billions of dollars the pharmaceutical companies will make. Although there are some doctors who do have morals and feel for the patient's generally speaking the free expensive vacations and the large amount of money is sometimes too much for these organizations (doctors and clinics) to resist. Pharmaceutical companies know that opiates in the form of Percocet can reduce pain its MAIM FIUNCTION is to make the person want more. And more is better for them it means they make more money. This is why some doctors have given you all of these painkilling medications over long periods of time with no regard to what it is actually going to happen to you then when you come running back to them for help they acted like it all your fault simply push you out into the hallway and slammed the door in-your-face. Although no one should have to suffer any pain with today's modern medicine and technology the bottom line is this. It is sometimes more profitable to them to keep you on a bunch of medicine than it is to go ahead and repair the Couse or have the surgery.



P.S. I too have been prescribe Percocet for a bulged disk. But when I go to the doctor and they come into the room I shut the door behind them and drill them for hours. If they don't give me a straight answer they don't get to leave the room. They are not going to do to me what I have seen them do to so many others. Remember, step lively but watch your step.

I'm 20, and weigh about 100 pounds, and I too was on Percocet. Only a month ago today, I woke up in the middle of the night with non stop vomiting. After 15 hours of it, my parents said enough and took me in to the ER, where we discovered I had a grape fruit sized tumor connected to my appendix, right fallopian tube and ovary. After the operation, my Doctor gave me a big bottle of Percocet to cope with the pain after surgery. I was on it for the entire month, and just yesterday my parents took them away now that the pain is more under control, making me quit cold turkey. However, because of this, I am now suffering with HORRID muscle pain, head aches, nausia, chills, sweats, stuffy nose, constant sneezing and most strange of all, busting out in tears for no reason at all. I'm assuming it's also because my hormones are now screwed up with the lack of my right ovary, but this too may be some kind of symptom from withdrawal. I understand that a month isn't allot of time to be on the drug, but I was taking 5 to 6 pills a day without real need up until they were taken away. I think I was getting addicted, so I'm glad my parents took them from me x.x; I pray to God that this withdraw will end soon. I'm blessed to have great parents who worry about me and don't want me to get addicted, I don't know what I'd do without them. So take my advice and DO NOT stay on Percocet ANY LONGER than you need to!!! I was only on them for a month and they still play havoc with me..

its simple! pay the price for abuse. I would burn through 90 pills in 5 days. lower back pain over the last 25 years. when finished you suffer for 2 days in bed feeling like sh%t. all the pain is there again. you wish you didnt kill your body. then you comteplate not taking any more. then you say "why not" it makes you feel good. my advice...take them as perscribed...no more than 3 a day...aleviate pain ONLY...if you feel giddy you have taken too many.

wow i have been just sitting here reading what every body has to say about these pills (percocet) and it is really opening my eyes to the very real possibility of becoming addicted. I was in a car accident just last week and was perscribed percicets for pain. well when i first took them it made me feel so good i just kept on popping them almost like a recreation and can feel a since of dependency already.

If I were you I would taper off of them and start taking something else. This drug is unbelievably addictive!!! About a month ago I had a cracked rib and was prescribed Percocet (5/325), the high was absolutely great. I went through the bottle quickly and got my MD to give me another script. I went through that bottle (10/325) in about a week. Called him again and told him that I had accidentally threw away the written script he had given me the previous week. I was literally becoming addicted and fast. I went through the last bottle and said, "NO MORE!" - I knew I had to stop. It was as if daily life couldn't be dealt with without the pill.

Definitely taper off, going cold turkey is hell. Stopping abruptly is what I did and the withdrawl symptoms were horrible. Extreme insomnia, anxiety, sweating, going from hot to cold in a matter of seconds..... it almost makes you feel like you're losing your mind.

Just some thoughts,

I know this is really old but after seeing you are in the medical field I had to ask. I am also in the medical field but before that I was in the Army, got hurt in the Army and you can imagine the rest. Well I have the same problem I can't tell anyone because you know where that will get me. How did everything turn out?



The hardest part is with my medical history I could go to any doctor and get anything i'm just trying my hardest not to do that.

i agree...my 3rd back operation in 7 years...I too am finding that nothing takes the pain away either...but there isnt anything i can do but go on..I have done my share of withdrawls and its five days out of your life to get off them...a flu last longer...I also use meditation but i dont know if it will work for any of these other people because you have to think deep and you people are all shallow..wtf...grow a backbone and stop whinning.

HELP!!!!!   my 20 year old son has been trying to find his next pill all day and we just confronted him with it.   he said he will do anything to get one.   What can I do to help him???

 

One person said: a day feels like week. I feel like I can feel every second, every second of hell. I tried to taper from 12 10/325 to 10 then 8 then 6....so on. It did not help. All the symptoms I read about, I have. But no one mentions blurry vision. I can't see! This is hard and scary, just wondering if anybody else has had the vision problem? My story is basically the same as everybody's - got them for legit reasons and then got out of control. I managed to keep up appearances and do pwhat I need too do. I'm doing this detox alone, and will make thru. But please, tell me if you have experienced the blurred vision? I can't even read what I. Writing her. Counting on the auto spell check. Anything would help thank you

i was on 10-10 mg per day for 6 months, stopped cold turkey, went through hell for 72 hours and i am basically fine, other than a llttle tired.

iwas on 10 mg  7 times a day for 6 months. stopped cold turkey. sufferred horribly for 72 hours, now i am just a little tired and a little shaky.

YOU are the REASON everybody gets all freaked out on Complaints about pain medicine. WHY NOT BLAME IT ON THE MEDICINE? I Mean, WE are NOT GROWN-UPS HERE ! IF IT CAN'T BE YOUR fault....OR MY fault ! MUST BE the MEDICINE, Right? It CANNOT be........That YOU felt better a little DOPED, after the DENTIST. SO, LETS BLAME SOMEone, cuz Dammit, it ISNT YOUR fault, RIGHT????
*******WHY, THEN, do SO Many OTHERS, say that IT HELPS THEM THEN........i WONDER?
********AGAIN,. if you have a PERSONALITY....that MIGHT be PRE-disposed.....to ANY drug.....then BLAMING IT ON the drug...makes YOU feel VILLIFIED, right? (textbook term would be to: say you had a right/meaning it's Not YOUR fault'). We, as a Society...Seem to FEEL THE NEED TO BLAME IT ON SOMEONE ELSE. The TRUTH of the MATTER IS: that our Doctors TALK to us...if at ANYTIME.....WE feel something is wrong, then THEY TRY TO HELP US. If YOU have BECOME ADDICTED TO A DRUG, WHY do YOU want SOMEONE to BLAME? WHY NOT CALL your Doctor and say, " Doc, i seem to be having a problem with THIS Medicine...it makes me feel like this: ____________"

Dude, i LOVE what you Said, Man....10 ton forklift....my foot and leg. They are all about "someone to blame"....but that's because THEY have NO self-control. i told them Off on the "blame it on the drug thing" people...but you can't FIX people...so i will just say to YOU: THANKS, MAN....for telling it like it REALLY is, and not the way they WANT Pretty Life to BE!
****Kudos to YOU, for SAYING IT REAL !

YOU can get him to a drug Re-hab. if he is really needing that LAST pill yo make him feel better, then he has a drug issue. it is NOT within the Drug....it is Within HIM. he likes it to the point where he would change something to get it, then he has an addictive personality....and he needs elp.

I was in a really bad car accident 13 years ago ,under went more then 30 surgeries ,I am taking Percocet since ...just last week I decided something has to be done and will be seing my doctor next week ,...This is a demon ,it takes over your life ....It's and addiction ...you need to get off them now ,I know how they are ,been taking them for so many years ...think about it ,then more you will take them ,the more you will need them ...After taking them for so long ,I can't do it by myself ...So hopefully there is hope for me and I will be able to get through this ,I'm very scared ..Think about what I just told you and be smart :)
