Percocet Withdrawal
Percocet is a combination of the narcotic Oxycodone and acetaminophen which is commonly known as Tylenol. This product is used to control moderate to severe pain.
Doctors routinely prescribe this drug to patients to aid in the healing process after surgery as well as to dull the pain of serious injuries resulting from automobile accidents or the like. Consequently, the use and addiction of Percocet is not limited to a specific age or socio-economic group as this narcotic is not routinely used as a recreational drug. Grandma or grandpa might well have a Percocet prescription to alleviate their arthritis pain, mom or dad may be taking this drug because of a herniated disc and junior may have been seriously injured in a car or motorcycle accident.
The individual usually does not realize he or she is addicted to this powerful narcotic until they find it is controlling their life.
Individuals who have been taking Percocet on a continuous basis for more than five to seven days should not suddenly stop taking this drug as withdrawal symptoms could occur. This should only be done while being monitored by your doctor who will probably want to gradually reduce your dosage of this powerful narcotic analgesic.
Abruptly stopping the use of Percocet may result in severe withdrawal symptoms which will occur from six to eight hours after taking the last dose. Some of these symptoms include:
- anxiety
- fever
- nausea
- runny nose
- tearing eyes
- aches and pains
- upset stomach
- difficulty sleeping
