how to detox @ home off oxycodone?

I have only recently been snorting oxy 30 thinking stupidly it will help my depression, which it does, but I want off.  The last thing I need is another addiction.  Can I simply wean off or how do I do this?  I know that my little 30 addiction seems silly to other more serious problems, but I really want off this stuff.  Can anyone give me some advice?

I took my last narcotic on May 27th...even tapering down over a month and a half i went through a hellacious withdrawal. 4 days of vomiting/ dry heaves and diarrhea. it feels good to be off the pills but I am still in pain. Am going for an MRI and pain injections next week. I have cervical spinal stenosis. Don't know if they will work but I am keeping my fingers crossed.

I took my last pill on May 27th...even after tapering off I went through a hellacious withdrawal for 5 days. Lots of N/V/D and dry heaves. Yesterday was the first day I really felt like myself again. However I am "still" in pain. I have cervical spinal stenosis and am going for an MRI this week and hopefully injections next week. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I get some relief. I would appreciate prayers.

Fridgety.. I will.. and for all of us in chronic pain. 

 

For the guest that snorts them, I am so sorry but i know nothing bout that sort of thing.. my prayers and thoughts will be with you too.   

been takin bout 40-80 mg a day for 4 years , never started snorting them thank god. 3 days without , worst part is not being able to sleep for more than 5 hours , crazy dreams and wake up every hour. Xanax for the first 5 days i hear is extremely helpful! been working out for 3 hours a day! think its helping , had the sh**s for a couple days. just sick of taking them , made a choice to stop. the company that makes the oxy 80's or green goblins as there known in NJ makes the pills uncrushable now , they are imprinted with OP not OC , this way to make sure less people can crush them. smart but too late. two of my old friends were up to 500 mg a day , god bless them if they ever quit.  word on the street is Opana 40mg are taking the role of the original crushable OC 80's. never had a script , started out using the yellow perc 10's , which led to green goblins. i have wasted too much money and time with these. deleted all numbers of people who can get me them too. good luck and stay strong! i am not a smoker but Blue Dream cannabis also helped me , when i was restless and bugging the f out. takes the edge off. its the striongest medical cannabis flower out there , was actually recommended by a doctor friend of mine!

Hi there, I am glad to see I am not alone but at the same time sad to see so many effected by this when only trying to improve our pain.  I have been on 7.5 oxy 2 every 6 hours for a year and have to take more than prescribed to handle the pain.  I don't want to get addicted but sadly think I may already be. Its been almost 24 hours without a pill and I feel like c**p.  From what I have read not as bad as some here, but with my pain plus the flu like feeling, the aches and the chills it has taken everything in me not to take one. I would be happy if I could just back to where it was before where I was only taking it to help with my pain at night since that is when it is at its worst. I started getting to used to not being in pain all day and not feel like if I don't try and get a hold on this now its only going to get worse and be harder to get off them in the future.  Smoking bowls today has helped a lot with the pain and anxiety but now that its been all day of felling like doo and know that they will take it all away and I will feel normal is so tempting :(

Ok, I've read all the comments on this website.  But here is what is missing in all of your posts:   There are a few pieces of this puzzle on all posts but none of them all fit together.  A little bit of useful input but not full details.  Now ... this is my question !!!    Can anyone answer it fully and with precision???   HOW DO I WEAN MYSELF OFF OXYCODONE AND HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO DO IT COMFORTABLY???  I plan to do it at home with ZERO help from any physician.  Both my physicians are discouraging me from getting off the oxycodone.  I guess they just want to keep me under their monthly thumb.  No more.   I will deal with the pain in my back later.  All I want to know from someone is how much to cut down and how long it takes.  Can anyone give me a clear answer on this????     

This is what I did.  I went down a quarter of a pill for a few days, then the other quarter.  Then next I went down a half for four days.. stay on that till I felt normal.  Then went down another half.. and kept doing that each week.  I had resless legs and had some trouble sleeping because of pain but I wasn't in too much of withdraws.  I went from four to one.  I split my one > to one half at night and one half in the morning.   I will decrease again in a week or so.  I didn't throw up, I didn't have the potty problems.. I was grumpy and tired and restless.   But ever so possible.  Good luck Weezy

I am looking for the same answers and not finding them were do we turn? Can someone give me an answer?

 

I have been taking oxycodone steadily for about a year. 8 to 10 (5mg) tablets in 24 hrs. I made a detox chart that I started last Saturday. I take one pill at 7 am, noon, 5 pm and 10 pm for a 20 mg dose per day for 3 days. Last night i was restless and mildly sweaty. Today, it's 1 pill at 7 am and noon, 1/2 pill at 5 pm and 10 pm. Tomorrow, 7/13 through Friday 7/15' it's 1/2 pill at stated times for 10 mgs total. Saturday and sunday, I drop the noon session for 3 times per day, total 7.5 mgs. Monday 7/18 and Tuesday 7/19, it's 7 am and 10pm for 5 mgs. Wednesday and thursday, 7/20 and 7/21, 1/2 pill at 10 pm only. Friday, 7/22, drug free!!! This may be rapid, but I'm determined to get off this. It makes me drowsey has stopped working long ago.

I am in the same boat as all of you.  I started with 6 10/325 Percocet per day then started adding an extra pill twice a day which brought it up to 8 10/325.  Then I got really depressed in April and started taking 2 10/325 at the time 6 times a day so basically 120 mg with 3900 mg of tylenol.  That's about maxed out.  Sometimes when I run out and can get my hands on some pills somewhere they are 500 mg of tylenol and I would be taking more than I do now with the 500s.  The safe limit is 4000 mg and I bet I've been over that before. And today I took 2  10/325 at 9:00 and forgot and took 2 more at 10:00.  So I've been nervous all day.  My right side started hurting.  I had a little diahrea, then I think I had a panic attack because I started breathing shallow.  My head gets numb when I lay on my back or when I fall asleep like that and has been doing that a few months.  That freaks me out too.  Four years ago when I first started the oxy my legs would have muscle spasms.  The doctor didn't seem concerned.  They stopped jumping then just felt painful.  Now I'm just so out of shape.  I don't exercise, I don'tclean my house, I don't do anything much with my kids just hand out in bed watching tv all day and night unless my kids need something.  I can't work.  I broke my arm and severed the ulnar nerve so that' what started it.  My ex dropped me off insurance so all I get is pain management refills, some message therapy that i can't afford but once in a while.  I also take ambien and ativan.  The ativan is for panic associated with all of this med taking.  the ambien to help sleep.  I just fell sound aspleep typing this with the tv blasting.  Guess I didn't die from liver failure like I thought. Iaccidently took 2 perc and an hour later took 2 more.  That's one way to rest.  I can't stay awake so I'll check back tomorrow.  I want to get off of all meds.  If I take say 12 a day, which one do I leave off tomorrow?

Quote: I am seeing if I can respond to you without having to actually sign up on this site. My story is exactly the same as yours - although I am a practiced junkie, unfortunately, having been a street heroin addct in my twenties and a methadone addict for 12 years after that. I got clean only to succumb to the lure of oxies - and now I am back to square one, with the very scary-sounding withdrawals looming over me. I will write more once i see my reply is accepted on here...

Hello all, Im new as it were and Im also an "addict". My quick story is I am a 30 year old 265lb male married w/ one little guy I love very much. I run my own business and have 6 employee's. When I was 27 I was riding my chopper has twisted my leg...big deal right. However 3 weeks later and an exploratory surgery later I stumped doctors with an overactive immunity problem. Its essentially RA however its much more radical. Doctors/Specialists do NOT know what I have persay but Ive been given a diagositc of Anklyosing Sponditius so I could start getting some "treatment".

Im on Enbrel injections once a week,Methlytrixate (100mg week) Ibuprofen (ALOT) Tortal (ALOT) and my ....favorite... Supeudol (Oxycotin)

Now It started as Percocet then 10mg pure tabs 3 times a day now Im between 12-24 10 mg tabs everyday depending on my pain....and mood.

Now I stopped an antidepressant CT once that landed me in a crash tank at the hospital with me holding a doctor by the scruff of his coat off the ground which got me 24hr armed security and Adavan (spelling?) I could not control my emotion at all one second I was crying then laughing then ready to kill a doctor. This is not who I am.

Now its Poppys...yay

I know I need the pain killer in a big way. The only way I can describe it is that Oxy is my oil. Without it I cannot move (Im totally seized) With it I lead a normal (?) life. I however do know my brain likes it....alot.

Mood swings,midnight sweats,WD past 5 hour mark (3 hours if I take 2 instead of 3) and so on.

Im tired of this but do I really have a choice. And i guess thats my true question here. I know about phantom pain and I do experience it but the REAL pain is unavoidable.

Truely Oxy has saved my life but at what cost. I have changed as a person. My mannerisms, character, Wit etc.. but Im still vertical and walking

I just had both my hips replaced at the same time 9 weeks ago and my right knee is next, next year followed by my left whenever. My right wrist is down to 25% use and all the effected joints are swollen 2-3x they're normal sizes....ALL IN 3 DAMN YEARS!!!!! Before treatments with these medications i actually told my specialist that if this continued I was going home to blow my brains out hence the onslaught of tests and meds.. But at the time I was dead serious I couldnt cry anymore as I had no more tears left after 2 years of hell.

Im angry at my body, Im angry at the medical profession for not finding my true problems and Im DAMN angry at this sh*t im taking (sorry)

Thats my tale in a nutshell and if anyone has any suggestions I would be more than happy to listen. I will say its nice to know as Im reading these posts there are people like me out there that can relate and talk to. Family and friends dont cut it really because they dont truely have a clue and Im past needing a pat on the back now.

At night I cry myself to sleep because of what Ive become I used to sneer at addicts as the junkie losers that they were and now I am one.....god dammit why...

Thanks for listening
