What Is The Time Required For Percocets Withdrawal Symptoms?

i have been a using percasets for the last couple of years, mainly on weekends, only one at a time or just half. I could go days without them. How much time am I looking at withdrawal. Cannot eat, experiencing a lot of anxiety and some depression. I can sleep at night though. Feel like I will never get back to normal.

For the amount you say you have used, withdrawal will last no more than 5-6 days. You can take a warm bath to help you relax. Having warm milk at bedtime will help to relax you. Drink plenty of liquids (juice, soup, nothing alcohol based of course).If symptoms are not at least 75% better by day 4, seek the help of an addiction medicine physician. Also follow up psychotherapy and / or 12 step program involvement will help you get into recovery and not repeat this cycle that worsens over time.
