Answers:
Do without the pills for a week, if there are no withdrawal symptoms then my personal opinion is "No", withdrawal can be to me described as the panic when one thinks or knows they will HAVE to do without them, and therefore knows they will have to endure the pain that will follow. The panic itself along with the pain can be the feeling that most will call the withdrawal, so I think for everyone it's a different definition as to whether a certain amount can be construed as an addiction, I've seen shows that say a person who has 1 glass of wine with dinner each night all the time is considered addicted to alcohol just because they think they require it, or maybe they DO actually go thru a chemical withdrawal with such a small amount taken away, who knows, we're all different. If your worried about it, slowly letting it out of your system and enduring the pain more is the best way to make sure it doesn't control you, but you can know your in control, get a pill cutter and cut it in half then again another half of the half so your getting 3/4's of a pill, so for a week or two do that, then go down to a 1/2 pill for a while, then maybe down to a 1/4 of a pill then maybe stay there as long as you need to dull the pain some, but anyone who has chronic pain they have to live with knows they have to take meds to keep it under control to some degree or we'd have to live with it daily like people had to years ago when all the the modern ways of helping us wasn't there for them, they just had to deal w/o any help, Forget the lift, it's not worth it, find something you like to do, arts & crafts or woodworking or exercising, what about donating time to help someone, those things that make us feel good about ourselves will raise the endorfins in your brain, that can be your new lift.....Good Luck There!Health Question & Answer

One full perc isn't much at all, I personally need to take two or three (sometimes four) to actually get decently intoxicated.

You might get withdrawl if you stop, but opiate withdrawl is easy enough to wait out. Apart from that, one perc probably isn't even having an adverse effect on your health, so I don't see any reason why you need to stop. You're not hurting anyone and you're probably not even hurting yourself.

If anyone wants to contradict me, might I point out that people are regularly instructed by doctors to take multiple perc tablets a day for sometimes mundane pain. Obviously the impact on your health will be negligible.Health Question & Answer

You're addicted if you feel like you have to have one every day, or you can't stop taking them. The exact amount doesn't have anything to do with it. If you have to smoke one cigarette every day or 2 packs, you're addicted. if you have to have one cupcake or cup of coffee a day, you're addicted.Health Question & Answer
