Hypoxia and Medicine

How long does Percocet withdrawal last? Anything to ease it?

I've been taking Percocet, Vicodin, and regular Oxycodone since April almost every day to deal with a painful medical condition. At first I took the regular dosage but eventually it got out of hand and at the most I was taken 60 to 80 mgs of pure oxycodone 3 times a day which I can see is a lot by reading around on the internet. Last week I tried to wean down and took my last dose of 5 Percocets on Saturday night. I have not taken anything since and my pain is tolerable. I saw my doctor today and told him everything and he recommended that I continue the weaning but I am having terrible withdrawals. Also the reason I took so many was because when I tried to get off I couldnt cuz of the withdrawal so I came back taking even more. Well now i'm trying to get off for good and its been terrible since Sunday, just wondering how long does it generally take. My symptoms include: nausea, diarehea, chills. Luckily I am not having the mental withdrawal since I know I should get off, but the phsyical sucks. Please help, thanks!
