At my follow up, I was still in a little pain, and the doctor and I had a long talk about what he was going to give me. I told him, that I wasn't exactly comfortable with how badly my body was craving more Percoset. Part of me was telling myself to exaggerate the pain I was still in, so that he'd give me more Percoset. I told him that. He gave me something weaker, and gradually weaned me off everything. But getting off the pain meds entirely, was much harder than I ever dreamed it could be. Maybe not everyone reacts that way, but I did.

Dangerous stuff.

Yep. I have been offfered iot before. I think I am strong enough not to get hooked, just not willing to take the chance. Seen WAY too many people get the taste.
