I have been taking Percocet for about 2 years. 10/325. Will I have a problem, if I just stop taking it?

yes, you are going to have withdrawal symptoms (cramps in your limbs, the runs, anxiety, etc.) because your body is used to haveing them. the best thing to do is to slowly taper off as opposed to cold turkey, and if you can take an anti0anxiety medicine (like valium) for a few days.

Never stop all at once just try weening yourself off the Percocet little by little for about a month.

Percocets are very addictive (I used to take these for migraines) you should stop taking these and start taking alternative pain relievers such as aspirin ....not to mention the drowsiness of these pills how do you function

You don't say how much you are taking or why you are taking it. It is a narcotic so you could have withdrawal symptoms. You may want to discuss with your personal physician, or an addictionologist (usually a psychiatrist, family doctor or internist that has additional training in addiction medicine).

I can almost guarantee your body has become addicted to it and yes you will be affected. You should slowly taper down the dose and how many you're taking a day if you want to get off it.

Probably not. I had been taking oxycontin for 6 months. I stopped two weeks ago without any problems.
