I would take 2 tylenol and 1/2 Xanax before bed
That got me through the night

Next morning I worked out with weights or jogged or rode my bike and I was good till noon

Pain started kicking in and by 4 pm I could not hold out so it was one percocet

I was on that routine for about 2 weeks and then was able to get by with just tylenol

Pain lasted about 6 weeks total but it was that one week that was really bad

Did not get any urge for the percocet once I stopped

So you took far less than your scrip called for. Maybe you have a high tolerance for pain. Maybe your injury wasn’t as painful as other people’s injuries or conditions. The fact remains that millions of people become addicted to legally prescribed narcotics (percocet is pretty mild compared to Oxycontin or even Vicodin) taking the prescribed dose. My original point stands. No one is immune to the addictive power of strong narcotics.
