Workerbee,
I have been ther, done that cold turkey thing. I was taking 15-20 percocets per day andhad no clue what it would be like when I stopped. Not to scare you but, I had the sweats, shakes, panic attacks, muclse jerks, and just an overall horrible feeling. Just like the movies. The first 5 days were truely something I do not want to go thru again. I felt better every week after that. Witht the help of my wife I made it thru. One thing that really drove me crazy was the muclse spasms I had in my groin area. I don't know how to explain it, but I found no relief for it and it was the main reason I could not sleep at night. It was like I was on 50 viagra pills (trying to put it as best as I can here). Good luck to you. Empathy should be the word of the month on this board. We are all (or were) addicts at one point in our life. Support for others who have the courage to try and get off the junk is what we all need to do. Workerbee, please let your Dr. know what you are doing though, at least he/she can monitor your health. Take care and the best to you
