percoset addict

i've been on and off percs for at least a year,some of it legit,fractured foo ect.i have urine tests where i work i passed the last one.god knows how! i'm super functional,and have various medical issues,i.e cancer,brain tumor so people expect me to act hyper and loud.i just took my last perc an hour ago.i'm quitting.also i've had over the years various addictions,coke,meth,ect never heroin. i know this is going to be rough.i won't tell anyone else.i also have a seizure disorder i take zoloft,trileptal,lamictal,neurotin and ritalin. i was wondering will these drugs i take regularly help with the detox?i also take blood pressure meds.so for the past 5 months i've been taking more like 25 to 30 miligrams a day.
any encourage will help me!

With all your conditions and all your meds, you really need to have a doctor oversee your withdrawal of any meds.  You can always go to the ER.
