Im not sure why everyone says 3 days or 72hrs that is really not that true if u take 5 painkillers a day or less well 3 days sounds about right, but most are on much higher dose, i took many per day, my phisically wd's without the aid of any other medications took at least 30 days or more, and in my mind it lasted much, longer. I remember the 72hr mark and the w/d's where not even at there peak until the fourth or fifth day along, but since your off the percs u cant go back now, if u do you will have to redo today over again, and  u dont want to start over again it is not worth the pain your bodies going thru. :)

Yes to what both Dave and K.J. said. I'm on day 6 going ct from both Norcos and Percs. I was taking between 100-130 mgs daily. The first few days were bad with the 4th being the the worst. After that, the wd symptoms have been getting better. The hardest part is the lack of sleep, but I know this will level out again gradually. I used most of the natural rememdies mentioned and took lots of HOT showers. I kept telling myself it was only as bad  the flu and it would PASS and it has for the most part. Be proud that you've made the decsion to stop. In a few days, it won't seem as bad. I wish you my best.  Keep posting for support. It makes a huge difference.

PS: I was even able to spend a few hours at Disneyland with my family today.  Felt great mentally, just a little wiped out physically from this past week.

It really depends on how much you were using and for how long but Dav is right, you are probably going to feel bad for about 3 days or so,  You should try and stock up on some stuff to help you through this, what helped me was a lot of gatorade or any other fluids, hot baths with epsom salts (if you have any), a heating pad, good multi vitamins and mental toughness.  I'm on day 5 and a 1/2 of a 2 year 120mg oxy habit and I did percs for 6 years prior to that.  I'm not going to lie to you but my WD's were bad but they do pass and get better each day.  The worst of my withdrawals peaked around day 3 - 4 but everbody is different, it may be easier for you.  You can do this!  Use the forum, theres many people here willing to help with your symptoms as they come, just keep posting your progress.  Let me know if you haave anymore questions.  Good Luck...K.J.

72 hrs or 3 days into the process the bad physical symptoms peak and then things start getting better..If you are having stomach discomfort, I recommend you get your hands on some immodium or you might be running to the bathroom more than you would like..
