Q: Percocet withdrawal ?

To someone who can help,

I have spent the last few hours reading over all the google response to my perc addiction questions but I have one more that probably is not an easy answer.

I suffer from back pain from an unknown cause at this point though probably a nerve impingement in my back. My doctor has prescribed Percocet for the pain.

Being the type of person that I am I have to know everything about everything before I get too involved in it. I hope it is not too late. I began taking perc on 5/16 and took what I hope to be my last 5/325 dose Sunday night around midnight. I have had mostly stomach issues and still am including constipation, diarrhea, and a general feeling of an unsettled stomach.

What am I in for? Obviously I was only taking them at max for a month though I believe 3 weeks is most accurate and took about two pills per day.

I have been sleeping a lot and have felt depressed especially after receiving this last set of work restrictions.

Since I wasn't on it long should I be OK? Or do I still have a few days, weeks or months of suffering?

I know from my family past that I have been handed an addictive personality but have never been addicted to a drug before as I've avoided those situations.

Thanks for any help and please be as honest as possible.
