Percocet withdrawal

My 25 year old son called me 2 hours ago and told me he has been taking Percocet for the past 2 months. He tried to stop and is having horrible withdrawal symptoms. He is coming to stay with me for the next 4-5 days so I can help him through it. I have no idea what I am up against. He has no insurance and just started a new job so he can't go into any treatment facility. It's up to the two of us. Any advice would be most appreciated.

Today was a better day. Had a rough night but vomiting less this afternoon and he has been in a pretty good mood. I'm so proud of him. Thank you all for your continued support!!

Your welcome!! One more thing I forgot to mention, the Tylenol pm might be making the restlessness worse, something to do with the diphenhydramine in it. You might try something all natural, walmart carries a variety of all natural sleep aids
