i was on pain killers for about 2 months ed. Started b/c of my back then i just kept with them for the following month. It got to a pt where 8 - 5mg percs would have little effect on me. So I stopped everything after that day.
So it's been 2 weeks now since i used anything - do you think my tolerance to them has decreased by now or give it a little more time?

2 weeks might be enough for it to have gone down, but it takes at least a month for it to get closer to no tolerance. The more you build your tolerance up, the harder it is to get it back down every time the issue comes up.
 
There is only 5mg of ocycodone in percs, if you hold off for about a week you'll be fine. I used to take 40-60mg of ocycontin every day for 3-4 days then i'd hold off a week sometimes only a few days, adn i'd get fucked up just fine...no worries.. you wont put them to waste
