I am getting ready to battle a addiction to perks. I have been on them for almost a year now i was highly addicted 6 years ago got clean and stayed clean for 3 years. UGH i HATE this battle. I REALLY need support here. My husband is also addicted but he is going in for back surgery in 3 days it is in the house so very hard not to take i also have a script. I will be out soon i have 10 and he wont get anymore as he is going in for surgery. I need some suport to get through this and stay strong. Appreciate anyone who can talk with me and/or pray for me as I am a believer in God also I have a precious 7 month old baby so I still have to be somewhat active despite how miserable i feel. I tried tapering but that i salmost immpossiable for a addict to taper when i started feeling bad i just took another 1,2, or 3 7.5's. I also liek the way it makes me feel but i know i need to get off them and i am so TIRED of this lifestyle i want to be healthy for my sweet baby (that we tried for 5 years for and had 2 2nd trimester miscarriages along the way) Thanks everyone who is willing to reply to this i know u r prob going through something similar urself i am willing to pray for people also

I have cervical stenosis which causes pain when lying down and severely limited my ability to sleep. My GP prescribed 5mg percocet. I split the tablets and take one half ten minutes before bed and the other half when that wears off, usually in 3 - 4 hours, and I get back to sleep.

I've been taking this same dosage for two years. I have developed some tolerance but I'm holding out for as long as I can before asking for a higher dose. So far I have no symptom of addiction (craving) and I do not experience any euphoria from the drug. In fact I am quite surprised that I haven't developed any such symptoms at all. Thus far I can described the effect of my daily dosage as that of an effective aspirin in that it kills the pain and that's all.

Percocet and Oxycontin are not the exact same thing, because Percocet contains Acetaminophen and Oxycodone, while Oxycontin just contains a time release formulation of Oxycodone, by itself.

The Oxycodone, however is a highly addictive and commonly abused narcotic.

The length of time the withdrawals last can vary, depending on how much you have been taking and for how long. It could range from several weeks, to well over a month or more.

Some withdrawal effects you may experience can include: nausea, drowsiness, chills, fever, diarrhea, irritability and vomiting.

If you have been on very high doses, you should not try to withdrawal on your own, as it does have the potential to be fatal, you should consult a doctor. If you think you may need treatment to get off the Oxycodone, many people have found that the medication Suboxone minimizes withdrawals, while eventually enabling them to become completely drug free.

You can check the website at Suboxone.com Click Here to see if there is a doctor near you that can provide treatment with this medication.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

My daughter has been shooting up percocet 30's, about 20+ times a day. I am looking for long term problems or any information and advice I can get. We are trying to get her in re-hab but the wait list is so long that someone trying to get off can be dead before they get any help. I know nothing about this and would appreciate any help.
