Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
In going to start off by saying I am an addict and have been in recovery for about a year now. I got my wisdom teeth out last Friday and my pain has gotten progressively worse. I have been taking 2 percocets everyday at 6 hour intervals. My question is should I got back and see my doctor and how long does it take to build an opioid dependency. I don’t want to abuse them, I have no desire. My pain is just very bad and I’m feel awful without pain medication.
