A member asked:
Will you go through withdrawals if you took opiates for 3 months approximately 80 pills in that time frame? how hard is it to stop taking opiates?
3 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Probably not: That is not that large a dose of opiates. It also depends on which opiates. If it was just percocet, probably not a problem. But, if it was 60 mg of oxycontin, that could be an issue. The type of narcotic and dose is very important. I would talk to your doctor about exactly which one you were taking and its properties.

Professional help: If you have addiction concern it is better to address it early. Contact psychiatrist specializing in addictions. Tell your family, you will need support. Save money, treatment of addictions takes time and financial resources. Recognition is a good start.

Yes. Can be hard.: Depends upon type/strength of narcotic taken, reason for taking, and if there is a hx of narcotic or etoh abuse.
