Tolerance to euphoric effects is distinct from withdrawal syndrome! The timescales are completely different!

Euphoric effects diminish within hours, endogenous endorphin production effects (responsible for discontinuation syndrome) take days-weeks.

There's only one mechanism to the process. The difference in timescale is due to subjective effects in the individual user.
-
That the euphoria operates on a scale of hours does not support the argument that three days is too little time to develop a tolerance.
-
Tolerance and withdrawal syndrome are not the same thing. My assertion stands that three days is too little time to exhibit significant w/d.

Read the tweet thread. Guy had severe nausea, vomiting, cramps, diarrhea. Three days of percocet is not going to do this to you.
-
What will do that to you are a) postop infection b) RECENT KIDNEY SURGERY
-
(Also possible: delayed allergic reaction to the meds. That's almost the opposite of addiction, though.)
-
The symptoms have no particular resemblance to any degree of allergic reaction, and it's very unlikely that the guy had never had Tylenol
-
I have no idea what else he might have had during the lead up to surgery, so I can't refute that, and it's not implausible.
