Abstract

This is a case study of narcotic addiction in which the patient was completely withdrawn from 12 to 20 Percodan tablets daily within 7 days. Signs and symptoms of the Abstinence Syndrome were minor and required minimal medication for their control. In addition, no electroshock treatment was necessary, nor were any other narcotic or other drug substituted for the Percodan.
