Possible Percocet Addiction?
Question by Elle: Possible Percocet addiction?
This is a serious question, please don’t give me any rude answers. My fiancé is a carpenter and he fell off a roof and broke his back, tail bone, collar bone and several other broken bones, sprains and fractures. This happened about 2 months ago and he is very lucky to be alive and he’s recovering quite well. Anyways, he got prescribed 30mg Percocet. Before this accident he has never taken these pills. He was very worried in the beginning about taking them because they are highly addictive and he has known several people who have had prescription drug addictions. He takes 1 30mg pill a day, sometimes he only takes half a day. He has been taking them as directed and no more. Though he is recovering it may be a while until the pain goes away. We are both worried he will become addicted. He can’t just stop taking them because of his pain. Will he become addicted? Will he have those horrible withdrawal symptoms when he finally stops?
