Common Questions and Answers about Oxycodone and sweating
oxycontin
My husband takes it but each month he runs out anywhere from 5 days to 2 plus weeks. At the end of every month he has compliants and symtoms.
So im at my fathers to try and quit my problem is that i sniff the oxy and when i take it orally it does notjing to me as if i didnt take any and the withdrawals are really bad .. ( sweating , rls , hot/cold and shaking ) im wondering can i gradually take less and less but by sniffing it instead of orally taking them ? Like every 2-3 day i sniff 10-20mg less and less or i have to take them orally to quit ?
Thank you very much !!
Have gotten addicted to oxycodone for about 10 months now. When I called for a refill my doc would not refill the script. This weekend and still I am going through withdrawal. Today (3/4/08) makes day 5. How long does this goes on? Managed to sleep one night. Seems night is the worst time for me. That is when I would wake up every 2 hours and take 2 until about 6:00 am. My arms are crazy. No sweating today. Just sore arms.
I understand how you feel. I'm 51 and I also think I'm to old to be going thru this too. We also have in common the same drug of choice. I have been clean for almost a month. I took alot of valium and that helped greatly. 10 months is not a long time compared to most so that is good news. I think you will be feeling much better by friday. I found it was hard to do but not as hard as I thought it was going to be.
I have some sort of infection thats caused red bumps on my scalp and all the lymph nodes on the right side of my neck to swell up - possibly an ear infection as diagnosed by my GP. I've been prescribed antibiotics as well as antivirals (on the chance I have shingles), and also some 5mg Oxycodone tabs for the headaches.
I've been getting intense headache attacks that last about half an hour to an hour, and have had several today.
You are taking 20 mg of hydrocodone per day--- a low dose of narcotic. To put it in perspective, oxycodone is 50% to 100% stronger, and a typical addict who comes to my office for help is taking 100-300 mg of oxycodone per day-- sometimes over 500 mg. So I would expect your withdrawal to be relatively mild.
BUT-- everyone hates opioid withdrawal, and even mild withdrawal is miserable.
I have had six major spine fusions. Nobody in my family has a heart problem. All of a sudden I developed uncontrollable atrial fibrillation. My heart beat went to 220 while sleeping. Doctors say it has nothing to do with roxis but when I got back to almost no roxis the problem almost stops. I believe that long term use of oxicodone will prove in the future to be the cause of many heart related illnesses and inevitably a major class action and the removal of the drug from the market.
Ok, here goes...
I'm an alcoholic trying to quit. Last drink was July 4th. I had previously been dry a couple weeks and was taking ativan 3mg/day. On July 4th, I slipped and drank. A lot. I fell and was injured, rushed to hospital, given ativan and pain meds, released 2 days later. Never took any pain meds before except tylenol or ibuprofen (I'm 50). Got home and was in severe pain. I refused the oxycodone script at the hospital.
Side effects of oxycodone include tiredness, sweating, nausea, flu-like symptoms, as well as many others. Oxycodone can also cause insufficiency of the Hypothalamus and Pituitary Gland, which could explain the fluctuating testosterone levels.
You might want to talk to your doctor to see if there are other meds you can take that might have less severe side effects, or possibly lowering the dosage.
Hey there, your right, withdrawals is withdrawals no matter what you withdrawal from.
Some will experience more or less pain than others depending on the quality, if daily use, quantity, for how long one has been on for, etc, etc.
Hi, I have been on fentanyl 75mcg and oxycodone 5-10 mg/day for the last year - ischemia and trigeminal neuralgia.
I really want to get off these meds b/c of addiction issues etc. My doctor maintains that I have probably developed a tolerance to these meds. (tolerance vs meds - same thing??). In any event I stopped the oxycodone 10 days ago and my doc tapered the fentanyl patches to 40mcg for 1 month then 12.75mcg for the next month. Also rx'ed clondine and klonopin for anxiety.
I didnot act or look high on sub but I could tell i was not at 100% and sweat i would soak my chair bed and what ever i was wearing. Sometimes the sweating made people ask if i were alright and some that knew i had, had a problem with pain meds thought i was in w/d or back on them due to the sweating.
I had my gallbladder removed Wednesday and have been on Oxycodone since Wednesday night. For some reason it started affecting my sleep yesterday. I tried laying down for a nap but could not sleep. I slept an hour or two last night. When I try to go to sleep my thoughts start racing and I just cant sleep. I really could use some sleep. Help.
Sorry I missed one part of your question. Backhurtz is correct that the doctor is giving you dilaudid to take instead of the Oxycodone. That being said, you might want to call and ask what he or she wants you to do if they were not clear about it. Most times when I change meds my doctor gives me a written plan that entails reducing the drug I was on while at the same time increasing the drug he now wants me to take until I am completely switched over to the new drug.
ve suffered with chronic fatigue for the last 20 years, spent thousands on pills and potions but then I started having back pain and was given oxycodone. However this seems to help my fatigue and can be like a normal human with energy. I've had very bad days with oxycodone so wanted to know if there's something similar that I could take without having to use oxycodone? Or is it the oxycodone that's giving me the energy.
just the opiate and some other minor additives. For me there is no differnce between a 10mg oxycodone or a 10/500mg percocet even though they are both oxycodone.
So yeah.... a 5/500mg vicoden is probably down on the list where an 80mg oxycodone is at the top. It also depends on how many are prescribed at whatever time interval because most addicts do not stick to their presctiption such as myself.
This isn't the time to taper. You would be risking miscarriage. I would liste to your doctor and switch to the oxycodone. It's a stronger med and you will probably be able to take a smaller dose. You won't know if your baby will get withdrawals, some don't. If thebaby does have withdraawal, the doctors will make sure the baby doesn't feel any withdrawals. There are many women on here that delivered healthy babies whileon a narcotic.
I wonder if a semi synthetic pill like oxycodone, instead of codeine and morphine would be a better euphoriant for the dysphoria I feel inside from hurting piercings. Also I wonder if the poppy seed tea is adding to the hemorrhaging because of excess body fluids being pressurized into my body for later expelling. I bet a semi synthetic like oxycodone would be the best, maybe oxymorphone? Maybe if I make the poppy seed tea into a resin to take as a pill, that might help.
