how to detox @ home off oxycodone?

Someone please help me jot be addicted anymore. I don't want to die and I dont want to be a slave to there anymore. I'm new to forum sites and not sure what I'm suppose to do but from what I have read you all see very understanding

Sorry kiddo...I really do think a de-tox center would help you with both detoxing from the drugs/medication and the addiction part of what you WILL begin going through...if you are not already there. Try to open your heart and let God help you the way God wants to help you. Calling a detox center is the best starting place and gift you could ever give yourself. And, staying away from methadone ( if you are able to) is the second best gift. The third, is going into recovery, Why? because those drugs have caused your braing to think differently and I know that you want to come out of this thinking as straight and as healthy as you can. God Bless You!

Hello all sufferers,
I want my life back!!!BUT the pain is sooo intense when you try to stop taking the oxycodone but I think I would much rather be in the pain than be hooked on the meds.I hope I make it through this.Good luck to all!!!!

omg!!! I am in my tenth day of home detox. I was looking for info on this subject to see how much longer I would be feeling like c**p! I too have had back surgeries I had been on 30mg of Oxy sonar, & zanax for the last five years & was sick of being addicted to this stuff. So 10 days ago I quit Cold Turkey. If I had seen this first I might not have done this alone. Well I'm still alive oi just wondering how much longer will all sweating & freezing chills & exhausted body parts will take to be done if any one has any in for for me I sure. Would love to hear from you thanks

Hello Ingrid,

I'm sorry I can't help because I'm quitting myself. I didn't go cold-turkey, I'm tapering down. It's not the pain I'm worried about and hasn't been for a long time. It's the depression. I'm on 3 anti-depression pills already but the vicodin makes me not care about things, ya know? I am feeling flu like symptoms, aches, restless legs, headaches, etc. I'm so impressed that you've done this! Good for you! I would think that you'd be feeling better really soon. Are you eating right and taking vitamins?

I wonder what happened to Bambi27? I hope she's OK. I've never written here but have been reading for the last couple days.

I wish you the very best.

Vicki

I have been on oxycodone for ??? 3 or 4 years. i can so relate to a lot of things i have read here today. I would like your opinion on cutting down and getting off what i am taking. I have been taking (I know this may not seem like much to some of you but to me it is) oxycodone 5 mg. 4 x day and oxycotin 10 mg, 2 x day. I started cutting back I went from 6 and 2 for 5 days - then 5 and 2 for 5 days then 4 and 2 for 5 days and am now done to 3 and 2 and it has been 3 days. I have planned this cut (5 days for each) until I am down to 1/2 for 5 days then I am done. It has been a little uncomfortable (mostly pain & headaches). Do you think I will be okay doing it this way? I would just STOP today if I knew I would not be sick for too long. I am sick and tired of taking PILLS!!! Thank you for any suggestions.

I am currently taking 300mg or more of oxycodone  a day and I need to stop. Can anyone give me some advice as to what a proper does of suboxone would be good to help prevent the horrible withdrawal symptoms I have suffered before??
Thank you!

As I have read these reply's on oxycontins mt heart goes out 2 all of us. I once ago stared percs for pain $ had a doc give me 200 a week, hello of course i got addicted,& adventully bull,,,,,, to my doc saying I was in a abusive relationship & no word of a joke got doc giving me 50 a DAY... I really look back & think doc got me addicted as no sane doc would permission this. so blah blah fast forward some odd years and I'm now on 80, this doc allows 4 a day what the beep is going on in this country. I do have major pain but so much want to get off these narcs once & for all .wish me Luck

I'm a disabled vet with back pain, knee pain, and ptsd and depression. I've been on lortab for 4 years now (7.5's 4 times a day) and I hate the stuff but love how it makes me feel (rock and a hard place). At first staying on them as prescribed was great but as time went on I needed more and more to keep feeling good and manage the pain. I'm prescribed prozac and vallium for the mental stuff but the tabs made me feel better than they did. It makes me feel normal, gives me energy and interest in things again but I know it's false. My family loves the way I am when on the tabs and avoids me when off of them. Because I've had to increase the ammount I take to get the same "good" feeling, I am up to 6-10 of them a day and I hate myself for it. I run out of my scrip and go through the withdrawls every month. God, the withdrawls suck. I feel horrible for the last two weeks of every month and sometimes just want to die. The physical and mental effects of withdrawl are horrible, but it's like I'm traped in a vicious cycle that I can't break. I can blame no one but myself, I knew I would get addicted when I started them, but if I had know where it would lead I would never have touched them. I have stayed true to myself in one way though. I have resisted doctor hopping to get more and I haven't yet bought them off the street but I have tried to compensate with alcohol and pot. It dosen't work all that well and I stoped as I don't need any additional addictions along with what I've got already. When it's getting near the end of the month I get more and more depressed and have anxiaty as I see the bottom of the bottle and know what is comming but I am powerless to stop myself. I gave them to my wife to hold and dispense but I find myself "stealing" them from her and lying to her about it. I have turned into a sneak thief and I hate it. I hate what I have become and loath myself. I am going to try to quit once this last bit is gone (if there in the house, I will get them) and I pray I can make it. Please, wish me luck.

I missed my appointment at my pain clinic appointment on thursday, I showed up Friday thinking it was then.  No doctor and they sent me home.  I went to the ER to get a few days worth but they told me no too.  I am sitting here in pain and withdraws. I been on them for at least fifteen years. 4 daily.  Any help?

hi, i am currently on 3/80mg oxy 4 times a days and also 4 percoset/4 times a day.  i have multiple sclerosis. I am 31 and i have a 3 year old boy and my husband works out of town.  He will be home for 2 weeks in 4 days.  so last week i went to my mothers and didnt bother bringing the oxy, so i was only using my percs.  i admit, yes, often i have bad pain in my legs, but at the moment i dont. i dont want to be on such heavy addicting medication when i dont need it. anyways, 5 days later and i finally figured out why I feel so sick and depressed.  I am coming off the oxy!!!!!  So, its been 5-6 days without, I am using 1 perc tab an hour, but still having serious issues. any suggestions?  with my son. i dont have the option of going into detox

I went through withdraws waiting for my appointment today.  My Doctor told me that it would take 72 hours of a lot of pain and suffering to get oxycodone out of your system.  They can also do it gradual as well.  My suggestion is to ask your doctor to help you decrease.  I don't want to go through what I went through this weekend again so will be decreasing my meds soon.  I hope you all the best. 

 

Im experiencing the same delema. So im 26 now, when i was 16 they diagnosed me with endometriosis. about every 9 months id start having severe pain and theyd put me on vics in the beginning then id have surgery and get more after. this cycle has been going for 10 years now. Some how every surgery ive managed to walk away from the percs no problem till now. so far ive had 13 surgeries with more to come and have additional pain just from having soooo many surgeries. This time ive been medicated for a good solid 13 months, including surgery 2 months ago. in the past 13 months i have detoxed on my own at home probably between 5 and 10 times. in those 13 months first it was ths 5s, then the 7.5s then the 10's and now the 15's. I have this inner battle when im on the medication that says see you dont have any pain which means your addicted so get off these things. then i go through the horrific detox and realize my pain is just as bad i just could feel the majority of it day to day because i was medicated.  im in the process of detoxing right now, im about 5 or 6 days into it, and the whole family doesnt see it as a horrible chronic pain problem that ill have forever, its a drug addiction. I agree that alot of it is addiction,  but this pain cant be handled on its own. Ive tried neurontin for nerve pain, im taking so much 800 mg ibuprophen trying to kill it a little im afraid my kidneys will shut down. Ive tried tramadol, toradol all these non narcotics that dont even make a dent but it seems like im building a tolerence to these pain meds so fast they keep having to up it, now they want to do an extended release morphine. Im so confused, and cant take another detox on my own. ive just been so afraid of the whole drug addict thing. Its like i know theres nothing else that can help, and the pain is by no means something you just deal with, but when im on em i feel like a drug addict and do stupid things like what i did a week ago and flushed a bunch down the toilet and left me with nothing till the 14th when i go back for my monthly fill. my mind is a mess. any thoughts?

I probably don't have any thoughts that can actually help you but letting you know that I am thinking about you and will say a prayer for you for the next couple of weeks.  I guess I am confused as my Doctor said withdraws would only last like three days and now you're the second person who has been going through this a lot longer.  It sounds though you're more dependant then you are addicted but the withdraws are the same.  I know you're in a mess cause you flushed them and probably no one would believe you if you went back for help.  It does seem like maybe you have gotten through the worst part and so am hoping you can just hang in.  For me, I have decided to wean myself and hopefully in the end, I can live with my chronic pain.  I don't want this monkey on my back and had no clue what I was getting into.  I just wanted to live a some what normal life, quality of life.  I am shocked that Doctors and pain clinics can put you on this stuff without knowing the end results.  Anyway, I will be praying for you and thinking of ya.
