Percocet Withdrawls, how long this lasts?

i am taking percocet, actually oxycodne pills 5/325 1-2 every 4-6 hours. I have been taking them on and off for a herniated disc in my back for past year, year/half
i usually follow the instructions on the bottle as far as usage however i have found myself taking them for the sake of taking them. surgery is not an option
i have read many stories on here about addiction and that kind of scares me that maybe I am starting to get addicted. just being off of them for anything length of time I get very moody and i appear to get many of the withdrawl symptons Im reading about on here. I dont get the anxiety i'm hearing about on here because im also taking Lexapro for that. The one thing that I know will help me if i decide to stop taking them is i have tremendous will power. any advice from anyone is appreciated

Can somebody plz give me some input. Ive had chronic stomach pain due to hypersensitive nerves in my stomach for 9 months due to stupid childhood smoking and drinking. im 17 and am currently on percocets. They r not relieving my pain and im in a struggle right now with these doctors i cant keep living in pain it has effectd my life so much i cant even work or go to school. Ive stop contacting my friends. i feel like im goin crazy with the pain i feel like dying.I dont know they said they could cut my stomach nerve so i couldnt feel the pain. But its an experimental procedure and they dont know the possible sideeffects. Im feel so lost and helpless. I wish i could just tell every damn pain management doctor in america, no in the world that...Pain is not seen, it is felt. There doubt is the cause of ones misery. All drug seeking addicts ruined it for everyone that is genuinely in pain. I no thousands of people r goin through this struggle and all we can do is have hope that r lives and health well get better someday and that someday genuine pain relieveing seeking people will not be looked at as drug seeking liers . Im running out of hope...I feel like i cant fight it ne more. i need some support...

Can someone please help me. I have been on percocet for a little over 3 months for an awful ankle injury. I stopped taking them one day and I can't even get off of the couch unless it is to go to the bathroom with terrible diharea. Can my Doc help and will he? I don't want to go in the office like a drug addict because I have never been an addict to anything...but I feel like I am now. Anyone? Please help....how can I get over this awful feeling?

I am responding to all of you, but especially jsb2645's post on 4/10/08. Your post scares me, for you, because it sounds like you're at the point I was several years ago but I kept taking Percocet! Even when I knew I was becoming addicted FAST, they had so much subliminal power over me that I kept taking them, telling myself that I have too much willpower to get addicted for real. I thought my willpower was strong, and it probably used to be (years before, I quit smoking cold turkey easily!), but I promise you this drug will destroy your willpower no matter how strong it is. It has more power than you know. Well, guess what? It's over 4 years later and I'm still an addict, still addicted to pain killers. I have tried too many times to count to get off these pills, but each time I have failed after only a few days of tapering and had to return to my "regular" daily dose to get rid of the withdrawals. The thing is, I had a completely legitimate medical reason to start taking the pills, but after a while I started taking them because of how the made me feel, not because of pain. That's the definition of drug abuse. Good luck; I truly hope your willpower can overcome this drug. If not, don't be afraid to try NA. It's not as bad as you think it would be and maybe they will be able to help you.

In 2000 I had two thirds of my pancreas,all of my spleen and gall bladder removed due to a cancerous tumor in the tail of my pancreas.I started on percocet after surgery due to cronic pain.Six years later cancer came back in the head of the pancreas,this time they took all the pancreas,and re-routed the bowel track.Some how I managed to live through that one also.The pain and diharea and throwing up was unbearable the pain doctor put me on 100 mil.of methadone and percocet 10/650 as needed for very bad times.I know Iam diging my self a hole I'll probably never climb out of,but at least I have some form of life back.I take 120mg antidepressant and bottles of zofran for the throwing up and I still sleep with a bucket beside my bed since the last surgery.I know these meds can and will kill you,but believe me so will number 10 pain.Thanks for your time

I'm so sorry that your pain makes you feel like dying. There is one hope and that is Christ Jesus and the finished work of the cross. I came to this website hoping to find the answers to withdrawal symptoms from percocet. Please place faith in the one that was born and died for you without sin and took this pain and hopelessness from you when he perished on the cross. I'm in a battle of faith right now as I am typing. BUT, I choose to place my faith in the ultimate healer. You are absolutely right pain is felt and not seen. I have other auto immune diseases and look great on the outside, but on the inside I'm hurting beyond a reasonable doubt. Do you have a bible? Look in the concordance and look up heal, healing, strength, victory. I am standing on this verse: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I am dependent on percocet, but am weaning off. Jesus has already begun a good work in healing me. I've, you have to place faith in Jesus, the author and finisher of our Faith. He will comfort you, He knows the despair you are in, He knows your exact position that you can't go to school or to work and that you are not contacting your friends. HE is waiting for you to cry out to HIM. I believe this with all my heart. He does set the captive free. I am praying for you. Look up Ruth's House of Hope it's a place to go to get healed, to receive support. I am standing a long side you in this.

AMEN!! I TOTALLY AM IN THIS SAME POSITION!
I KNOW JESUS IS RETURNING SOON & WE AS HIS CHURCH BETTER BE PREPARED FOR HIM. TODAY I HEARD IN CHURCH OF HOW IN INDIA THIS WOMAN WENT TO SOME COW DUNG & WAS WORSHIPPING IT BCUZ WELL COWS ARE WORSHIPED THERE,ANYWAYS SHE PLACED IT ALL OVER HER FACE.
HERE'S THE SAD TRUTH.OUR ADDICTIONS ARE THE VERY SAME THING AS WIPING POO ALL OVER OUR BODIES! NO LIE,IF YOU ARE SUFFERING FROM ADDICTION AS I AM RIGHT NOW,PRAY FOR IT TO GO AWAY & WORK HARD TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. I'M TOTALLY COMMITTING MYSELF TO IT & WILL NOT TURN TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT!

I am on my first day and feel like I have the flu. I have a 14 month old that I love to death but this wothdrawl is making it so hard to take care of him. I only took pills to avoid reality. I know I have to stop but how lone will I feel this bad for? :-(

Current addict.  60mg oxycodone a day, be it percs, roxys, or oxys.  When I run out of my script for perc 10s/325, it takes about two whole days.  Listen to me....the second night is by far the worst.  Get thru that second night and you will be fine.  Trust me, been there, done that.  Im actually there now or I wouldnt be on that post.  OC's are a diff story, they are more like two weeks.  Stay with the percs, take a few months off each year.  Deal with the pain, deal with the life.

 

Good luck

ive been taking perk 10s now for for years, I went cold turkey but now.... I cant last long in bed can anyone help me im so depressed about it please help me

I had a c-section 8 weeks ago, and at only 2 weeks after it got really infected, and it opened up. Anyway: I have been taking percocet for the pain, which is still horrible. How long will my withdrawals last?

I just went from taking like 15 Percocet 10s a day to go cold turkey. Now I can't last more than a second during sex. I'm so depressed about it. Please, someone, tell me what to do!
