So you havent had any percocets yesterday or today? Going down from 6 to 12 a day...You should be yawning about now and starting to feel the beggining of it. It gets alot worse in the next few days. I can tell you what you will need for the withdrawls if you want.
You will need to buy IMMODIUM Liquid...you know what for lol. And have some Advil on hand for the body aches and its a good idea to have something to help you sleep. A hot bath helps the body aches alot and a good heating pad helps too.
Also someone to talk to about what you are going through.
I wish you the best Percs are a tough thing to withdraw from but you CAN do it if you stick to it and dont listen to your mind. The physical withdrawls will go away in about 5 days..But the mental battle will be there always and you have to control that. Good luck and God Bless.
