2 Months On Percocet

Updated

I have been takin percocet 5-325 for 2 months as directed. Have not abused at all. I originally was taking for pain following a breast reduction. After that pain seemed to cease, I continued taking as I noticed the percocets helped with my chronic tendonitis in my thumbs. Anyway, I am down to 2 pills, will I go through withdrawal ? Again, only took as directed for 2 months, and sometimes not more that 4 pills a day. I'm leaving town tomorrow to take care of my Mom after she has major surgery. I'm worried now that I will have withdrawal symptoms and not be of any help to her!!

Hello, Lisa! How are you?

You may experience some minor withdrawal effects, such as nausea, dizziness, chills and diarrhea, but they shouldn't be severe and debilitating. Since you were also on them for a short time, any withdrawal effects also shouldn't last more than a few days to a week.

The biggest issue you might run into is rebound pain from your tendonitis.

What do you usually take to treat that?

Thank you for responding! I just took my last 1/2 pill, my legs were feeling achy, but not sure if from hard workout 2 days in a row or my system missing the pills. I usually just take motrin for my tendonitis, but never totally alleviates the pain. When I return from my moms surgery I want to see if my doc would consider allowing me to take percocet at the same dosage (2 in morning 2 in afternoon ) on a permanent basis as long as my liver wasn't being damaged. The relief I felt for the two months was tremendous and I would love to continue to be pain free.
