Lots of misunderstandings coming across in this thread. I have been on Percocet of various low dosages and frequencies for years, and have no addiction issues. I have taken several sabbaticals fom my meds with no problems to eliminate them as a cause of other issues like allodynia.It is not responsible to scare people off of something that can really improve their functioning and quality of life. Physiological addiction is unlikely to happen in 10 days if medication is used for pain relief.

Emily, if you have any questions about opiates check out the book Chronic Pain by Dr. Jennifer Schneider.
