Please go to the discussion on Oxycontin, which is Percocet in a slow release form, and read my full account of detoxing at home off high doses of this medication, the physical and mental issues to expect while withdrawing and some tips to help you get through the withdrawl. You can do it. You will know you've found the right discussion if you see my name and postings at the start of the discussion which I began a year ago. I am now Oxycontin free and did it at home.

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.

You can read more about this medication here:

Is there anything else I can help you with?

I HAVE BEEN TAKING PERCOCET FOR PAIN, AS PERSCRIBED BY BY MY DOCTOR, FOR A YEAR. AS WELL AS BLOCKING THE PAIN; I LIKE THE LITTLE BIT OF EUPHORIA IT GIVES ME. SHOULD I FEEL GUILTY OR ADDICTED?

methadone, methadone , methadone!! dont try detoxing it can last about 1 month. gets easier in about 1 week. but the trick is to go to your dr. and tell them whats going on and when your done detoxing stay away from the pills! if you cant try methadone it has changed my life for the better and im almost off that too!!
