Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your motivation to discontinue narcotics medication which are probably no longer required.
I understand that withdrawal of Percoset and Vicodin is sometime painful and distressing due to development of dependence over a period of time.
I like to inform you that withdrawal symptoms generally last for seven to ten days and within next three t five days you will be free from Narcotics withdrawal effects.
Feeling weak is part of withdrawal symptoms and if you do not have any other systemic illness, there is no need to worry.
Meantime keep yourself hydrated and take plenty of water and fluids.
I hope this helps you.
If you have any more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards
