Help Day 5 weaning from Percocet

[Todayistheday191]

Oh my here I am day 5 and I feel awful.  The lack of sleep really did me in last night.  I think I got less then an hour and today I feel like a walking zombie.  I finally decded I should go fill my script but I am so scared because I dont want to back track.  At the same time I can not feel like this anymore.  Daily migraines and lack of sleep.  I just feel awful.  (Not like this is supposed to feel good) My husband is over seas and I have two littleones that need me night and day, I just dont know what to do anymore.  This morning at four I finaly had to take a half and then at 8 I took a whole one.   Any suggestions, words of advice, or help would be greatly appreciated.  Here is the breakdown of my tapering.
Percocet 10/325
16/18 pills a day for 6 years
Day 1- dropped to 6 1/2
Day 2- 5
Day 3- 4 1/2
Day 4- 2 1/2
Day 5- 1 1/2

Just jump ship and stop thr taper now....I'm on day seven of going cold turkey off of a pretty heavy vicodin addiction...today is the cussing best day I've had in a long time....I did it all while caring for a baby AND a teenager...and I'm NOT Superwoman, believe me....what took me so long to quit was the fear of withdrawal, so I hung on and hung on. Let me say that the fear of being sick is far worse than being sick. I promise. I'm not a fan of tapering, cold turkey is the first thing that got me past two days....here I am seven days clean....you can do it to! You can!

Yes!  I agree. Just stop now. Get it over with. It won't take that long. Take something OTC for the headache. Tapering can really be torture and your taper is a fast one. It's not doing you any good!
Don't get that refill. Just get this done now!

Keep posting and we'll help!

I too am on day 5 of no percs. I was also taking the 10's, about twelve a day. Have you told anyone about this? Is there a good friend that would be willing to either come over and help with your kids or take them for a couple of days?

I did it cold turkey. I recommend cold turkey. It really is not as bad as you think. You are panicing and so did I at first. By day 5 you really will feel so much better, even by day four. It isn't easy or fun. My biggest problem that I am dealing with now is lack of sleep.

Good luck!

You will feel better, it does take some time though. You don't want to have to start over so don't get the refill if you can! I wish you the best and good luck to you!
