I started with withdrawal. I am reducing my Oxycodone from 80mg to 50 mg and have done many times before but I always rush it and get horrendous withdrawal symptoms. Does anyone have any good tips about Oxycodone without experiencing withdrawal?

I've been withdrawing from Oxycodone for 6 days now after 2 years of use for chronic pain. it is hard to function but I am just trying to get extra sleep when possible, I am also sweating a lot and having a little nausea. I have been finding yoga very helpful for controlling the pain as well as the withdrawal symptoms.

tHIS IS very hard...especially that lack of sleep, and try very hot baths and ask for tracing mgs. of diazapam from your doctor.

I recommend OF the OXY with drawl here is the course...the more daays each step is the easier....

DrD I really didn't follow what you were trying to get across---maybe you could clear it up a bit for me/us. I am wanting to go drug free. Been on an ever increasing amount of meds over the past 2 years and am using 2, 100 mcg Fentanyl patches every 2 days, and 4, 80mg oxycontin for chronic back pain followed with 1200mg of neurontin for nerve damage and an ambient so I can actually get some sleep. I know I will not be able to function without the meds but I'm already at the point I feel the need for some increases because of the increases in pain and that is where the thought came from that, whats the point. I am thinking that if I could get all of this out of my system then small amounts might just work again but I don't want to croak going though withdrawals.

Oxycontin is a very good medication to use to avoid opiate withdrawl. Start at a daily dose that is the equivalent of whatever you are addicted to. Reduce your Oxycontin intake by 10 mg every two days until you are drug free. There is no withdrawl using this method or a very minimal withdrawl at the most.

HEY GUYS TRY THIS METHOD IT WORKED FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!


Take about 8 ounces of water and lets say for instance you are taking 1 80 mg oxycontin a day(you could be taking more) crush the pill and put it in the cup of water . Stir it up or shake it till it is dissolved and then every 3 days remove one Tbls. of liquid from the cup until you get down to nothing.For all addicts out there watching all that oxycontin go to waste its like a knife in the heart but it worked for me. I mean lets be real guys we are addicts the taper down method never works when you have a big bottle in front of your face. Just a little insight on me at my worst point I was snorting 12 - 15 80mg pills a day yes 12 - 15 80mg pills a day . that is real. So the million dollar question. Did I stay clean . Unfortunatly no I got in a really bad car accident and got addicted again. Tomorrow I am trying my method again . It works guys please try it I have try everyway that there is. If anyone would like to talk e-mail me sgib2681@yahoo.com
Oh yea if yopu dont think you will get addicted or have a problem taking a Valium or a Xananx type drug it works wonders for the anxiety. But if you think you will get addicted to it DO NOT SUBSTITUTE YOUR HABIT!!! Me personally i dont have a problem with them so they help me alot. Try it guys it works.
