I was reading through this website, seems to be very good. I too was looking for info on opiate withdraws, I am 28 weeks preg, and my doctor has me on 2-4 5 mg of percocet a day, I was just wondering about how much causes withdraw? I mean there is a difference between taking two a day and four a day right?

My understanding is that it really depends on who you are. Not everybody has strong withdrawl symptoms. Withdrawl simply means your body has become physically habituated to the drug - which doesn't happen to everyone.
Right now you're not taking a particularly high dose - you taking about the normal dose of Percocet for an adult -so you're probably not at risk for horrendous withdrawl symptoms. In any case your doctor will slowly work you off the drug to minimize whatever withdrawl problems you might have. Good luck with your pregnancy.
