A member asked:
If you have muscle weakness from percocet. how long after you stop taking it does it usually take to go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not a common effect: If you feel it's related to your Percocet pain medications, you need to contact your pcp, and let her/him know that you're having this particular side effect. This normally doesn't happen with pain meds. So depending on when you stop taking them, symptoms should go away within at least a week (or five half-lives.) this is not a common residual effect.
