i have been on percocet for about 2 years and just stopped. ?

I dont have insurance anymore so i cant go to the doctor. so, at night i get restless but am eventually able to sleep, so I dont have insomnia. But at night I normally have restless leg syndrome and the meds always helped but without them, rls is back with a vengence. and during the day really its just the annoying feeling like i dont want to do anything. but i dont want to do nothing. i couldnt get myself to go to class. i just couldnt do it. lethargic and just all around crappy by myself. i really dont have anyone but myself and im only 3 days into stopping....how much longer? it doesnt feel like there is ANY light at the end of the tunnel. will this feeling last forever? i know cold turkey isnt the way to go but i have no choice. ?

    yea percocets an opiate and it you will feel pretty shitty especially after taking for 2 years. im surprised your withdrawal symptoms arent worse. you will feel shitty for like 2 weeks most likely then start to feel better. theres really no way around it other than taking more opiates but that will just prolong the symptoms.

    COLD Turkey is the worst thing to go through.. when going through Opiate withdraws.. thats what ur going through..

    Tell ur doctor he cant do that and its illegal to just stop u.. they have to WEEEN u off..

    at least ur not Puking.. and Shitting Yellow Bile out of ur ***, and ur Butthole feelz like u got raped.. and attacked.. thats what happens to me.. if i dont take my medication for 1 day.. then again ive been taking High Doses of Pain killers since 05.. 60mg-80mg pills.. oxycodone/ hydrocodone..

    oh yeah.. it takes 2 weeks to FULLY withdraw from it. * trust me, i know*
