Ive been taking 10 mg Perc's for a while now (2 years) for a legitimate back injury. Im supposed to take up to 4 per day but will end up taking 6 some days because the pain has increased however the doc will not up my dosage yet. Inevitably I end up running out usually about a week or week and a half before I can get a refill and I am in agony and insane withdrawals for the duration. Once the initial withdrawal is over (about three days) I am okay for the most part but the biggest problem I have is my sleep is so messed up after withdrawal. I can get to sleep but I wake up with my arms feeling shaky and I toss and turn and cant get to sleep.

I was just curious if anyone else has been through this before and can offer any suggestions. I will end up taking a few shots to get a buzz so I can relax (yes I know this is NOT healthy, but I am desperate for relief some nights!!) which will get me about four to five hours of restful sleep but then Im right back to square one.

Anyone have any ideas?
