I have been on Percocet for 10 years for spine injury. I have self detoxed 3 times in the 10 years so I would not have to increase my dose. I did it with the support of this site.
The difference is the prior times I had someone living with me and could just stay in bed and do things as I felt able.
Now I have 2 dogs I need to walk and a job working 2 days a week.
Before I went cold turkey but I don't have the energy to walk them and I need to take just enough to get me through the 2 days at work.
Can I still get off the percocet by taking small amounts to get through doing what I have to do. I don't need much energy the 5 days but I am 60 and can't make it through 8 hour shifts going cold turkey. I never crave taking the pills to get high, I just need to be able to function at some level.
