quiting percosets

I have been taking percoset for a few yrs now. I dont take them all day long just at the end of the day to relax with. I want to stop before they take over, i have heard way to many horrible stories about people battle addictions with these. What is the best way to stop? I take 15mg one time daily. Thanks

I took my last 15mg pill at 6:00pm on 6-20-10, I had such a hard time falling asleep last night and once i did fall asleep i woke ever few hours. I am noticing some anxiety but not to bad. I was going to wait till mid august to try to stop but figuared what the hell I am out and just had a good friend get put into a clinic for these. How long do the restless nights last for? That seems to be the biggest problem along with the anxiety. thank you for your posts!

Just stop.  You are a pretty low dose so the withdrawals should not be so bad.  Check out the Thomas Recipe, get the supplies together and pick a day.  We are all here to support you.  Good job realizing you have a problem now and not waiting until it becomes a much larger issue.
