Percocet Withdrawl
from eMedTV.comWere you looking for information about Percocet Withdrawal? Percocet withdrawl is a common misspelling of Percocet.
Because the body becomes accustomed to the effects of Percocet® over time, you may experience withdrawal symptoms if you stop taking it too quickly. Signs of Percocet withdrawal include diarrhea, vomiting, and agitation, among others. Withdrawal symptoms can occur with chronic, legitimate use of the drug, as well as with Percocet abuse. Although withdrawing from Percocet can be rather uncomfortable and unpleasant, you can be assured that it is not usually life-threatening.
