How do you wean yourself safely off of Percocet after a surgery?


Posted by me

Help.  Had knee surgery a mth ago.  Been taking Percocet.  Started out at 9 a day (5 mg), then 7, then 5, then 4, then 3, then yesterday I accidentally only took 1 and my body FREAKED out.  Anxiety, stomach problems, shakes, chills, headache, dizziness, nausea.  Felt like I was going to die.  Had to take another percocet and do meditation before I could calm down.  Didn't realize my body was addicted until then.  What do I do?

Check with your doctor to find out a safe way to taper off.

There is a natural herbal detox you may want to check out that helps bring your body and mind back into focus, to break free of addiction withdrawal.
