listen to me BigBB,and listen
listen to me BigBB,and listen closely: the desire to want to quit is a great start. But you're on a fairly high dose of percocets, so you're going to need to be detoxed for about 5-7 days. Otherwise the withdrawals will render you hideous.
Options include:
Klonapin (patch is best)
Ultram
Suboxone
if you can't afford a 30 day in-patient, look for certified addiction specialists inyour area who will treat you on an outpatient basis for detox.
You gotta shake this shit, and that starts now. Good luck.

I understand, fearing the
I understand, fearing the dopesickness is the worst because it truly is horrible. That's why I'm urging you to get detoxed. Cold turkey is hell on earth. And it's not necessary. Trying to taper yourself down, that doesn't work either although a lot of us try it, many times.
Like I said, I don't think you'll need more than say 5 days of detox. Oxycodone, the narcotic in Percocet, has a very short half-life-- it's in your body and out of your body pretty quickly, a few hours at most. Still, taking 25-30 a day is a lot. Plus you're ingesting a shitload of Tylenol, well over 8,000 mg per day in total, when the recommended daily maximum is 4,000, so the pills could be hurting your stomach, kidneys, liver. Even more reason to stop.
