Percocet
Withdrawal 
Percocet
is a narcotic (oxycodone) and acetaminophen combination. They are combined to
get a synergistic effect on pain. Oxycodone is similar to other narcotics in
terms of effect and addiction. Acetaminophen is better known as Tylenol. Percocet
addiction can affect the young, middle aged, or elderly. Individuals addicted
to Percocet may come from any walk of life, hold entry level or high positions,
be parents or grandparents, single or married. Often, the addiction to percocet
develops without the individual realizing it until it begins to control their
life. When an individual exceeds the dosage prescribed or seeks to obtain Percocet
after the time prescribed by their physician, they should be awear of the posibility
that they have developed a Percocet addiction. Abruptly
stoping or reducing the intake of Percocet can cause severe withdrawal symptoms.
These begin six to eight hours after the last dosage.
