I'm on day 4 and doing great! No w/d's at all and I'm NEVER looking back! Can't believe how liberal my Dr was handing out this poison to me not explaining how easily you can become so totally dependent  on them----they should NEVER  be used for chronic pain management except for the terminally ill----no longer living from pill to pill-----I know it's going to take time for my brian chemistry to regulate but I know I'm going to gain my life back-----luckily I have not lost friends over this------I have been taking percs for 2 years-----120mg's to 60mgs  I totally believe if you have prepared with the proper o/c meds it is very doable-------Thanks again for the support-------If I can help anyone I will

You can quit this drug cold turkey if you have the will power, and don't mind being sick for a couple days. What strength you on?

I believe you can kick any drug addiction by tapering back, do you have a plan in place?
