No: Percocet is an opioid indicated for pain not as an anti-anxiety medication. There are other medications indicated for this. See your doctor or a psychiatrist.

See below : Unfortunately, the acute effects of all opioids is to reduce anxiety. However, the withdrawal of these meds will make the anxiety even worse than when you started. Suboxone may be beneficial.
