Withdrawal: 1 mo. Is a long time to take Percocet even when needed for injury or surgery or for other legitemit uses. Your body & mind become depenedent on the feelings it can supress & your anxiety is your body saying "something is missing". Buspar (buspirone) & zoloft can take 2-6 weeks to have full effect & you may find you need something different. Tell your md what you are feeling so they can select the right choice.
