ive been taking percocet for a week becuase of surgery (the pills small, round, and has 512 on it) my mom is making me take them alot less for fear of addiction. the pain seems to have gotten worse and i really want the pills but she is giving me less than half normal dosage! i dont feel addicted, just bad pain =[

you're most likely not addicted. if you need to take them, you should tell your mom. or complain a lot haha. but don't take them after you don't need them. addiction is a horrible thing.

First of why are you taking them like what forif it is a temp like a month you will be ok just stop taking them when the pain goes away if you keep taking them after the pain is gone then look out you can get addicted

A week is not long enough to get physically addicted. Your mother should not be the one to decide how much pain relief you need, that is your doctor's decision. If you are having trouble you should call your doctor and tell him about your situation. He may talk to your mother and explain she is not a doctor and that you are having pain and have a legal right to pain relief.Edit: I guess I should answer your initial question. I have been on pain killers for over a year now because of chronic head pain. I am physically addicted to them. When I do not take them within 12 hours I begin to get these symptoms of withdrawl: creepy-crawlies under my skin, anxiety, pain, heart palpitations, sweating even though I feel cool (clamminess). Percocet is a minor pain killer and it will take you a long time of consistent use (probably at least 6 weeks) to become physically addicted.
