Percodan
Withdrawal
Percodan withdrawal symptoms appear when you stop the painkiller after having used it over a long period of time.
Detoxification anesthesiologist, Dr. Clifford
A. Bernstein, M.D explains that agonizing withdrawal
is the reason why most patients with dependencies
cannot stop taking opiate drugs. He describes general
opiate and Percodan withdrawal: “A sudden
discontinued supply of opiates will often cause
unbearable withdrawal symptoms including irritability,
profuse sweating, abdominal cramping and diarrhea.”
Percodan ® is
a narcotic analgesic (or, painkiller) similar to
other opioid medications in the morphine family.
Physical and psychological dependencies resemble
those of other habit-forming painkillers, and include
a comparable withdrawal syndrome that results from
discontinuation.
Percodan Withdrawal Symptoms
Percodan patients with opiate dependency
will experience discomfort once they suddenly
stop the drug after chronic use. Percodan
withdrawal symptoms experience by patients include:
- Aches and pains
- Anxiety
- Cold- or flu-like conditions
- Diarrhea
- Goose bumps
- Hallucinations
- Headaches
- Insomnia
- Loss of appetite
- Mood swings
- Nausea
- Pain
- Rigors (fever chills)
- Sleep difficulties
- Sweating
- Tremors
- Upper respiratory symptoms
In pregnant women, this medication is harmful
to unborn babies and provokes breathing problems
or addiction along with withdrawal symptoms in
a newborn. Percodan may also be passed into mother’s
milk and harm a nursing infant.
High doses of Percodan may provoke seizures,
affect sleep patterns, and constrict respiration.
Prescribed primarily in pain management, Percodan
notes some recreational use due to euphoric action
produced by opioids. Potential Percodan overdose
makes it ill advised for unsupervised, non-medical
use.
Percodan Withdrawal and Other Risks
As stated by Dr. Bernstein, withdrawal from
any prescription opioid medication results in
a difficult, sometimes agonizing process. Percodan
withdrawal or overdose can cause damage to
the brain, heart, and lungs. Salicylate (aspirin)
poisoning is particularly harmful to the kidneys
and liver.
The aspirin component in Percodan can affect
the ability of blood to clot properly.
Percodan patients may risk agonizing withdrawal
if experienced health care providers do not
supervise drug discontinuation.
If a patient stops taking Percodan suddenly,
he or she should inform the primary physician
immediately. Stopping Percodan after prolonged
use may cause severe withdrawal symptoms. Your
doctor may recommend gradual decrease in doses.
Always seek medical consultation before stopping,
mixing or adapting medications.
Percodan Withdrawal and Detoxification
Proper detoxification from Percodan ®—which
employs current medical technology--can dramatically
decrease the related risks of Percodan withdrawal. However,
many traditional drug detox procedures may
use old protocol that inflicts patients
with an unneeded, unsafe, and painful
Percodan withdrawal syndrome.
