oxycontin

Avatar n tn Don't know what you were on and all of that, so time's tough to predict. Nights seem to be the rough spot for most of us with sleeplessness and w/d related anxiety, so I feel for ya man. I'm happy for you though, hang in there, it WILL get better, and it gets better all the time.
Avatar n tn Want to get off oxycodone, used for fibromyalgia pain and get on something not addicting.
Avatar f tn Wondering if anyone knows of anything that could cause a false positive for oxycodone or have experienced a lab mix up?
7303500 tn?1389997641 Has anyone ever gone to rehab to be medically detoxed from fentanyl and oxycodone? I've been on pain meds for about two years now. I've only been on fentanyl for three months but I want off everything. I feel like I'm in a constant fog. I hate the way I feel. The fentanyl is making me depressed really bad. It also gives me anxiety. I have chronic pain but I think I would rather be in pain then deal with the way pain meds make me feel.
Avatar m tn So i am absolutely sure it was anxiety for me and pretty sure it is for u as well.
Avatar n tn s a hefty dose.....typically 7-10 days for physical withdrawls and then post/depression/anxiety/cravings usually last longer.
Avatar f tn ? I was taking Oxycodone 10 325 for about 4 months , 4 times a day. Got to the point i was taking them for the feeling they gave me and not the pain. But i went cold turkey and stopped it for a few months. Ended up needing another surgery and was in the best time in my life so told dr was in pain before surgery so he gave me more 10-325 oxy. But this time i didnt feel the high. It felt different but kept taking them searching for the high.
Avatar f tn Yes we are snorting the pills, all of them. I know its really bad and I can't believe we are doing this but I have hope. We have all ready cut our mg per day in half once before from 120 to the 60 we are at now each. I have enough pills to taper down to 45mg each but that's it. After that I am not buying any more and I'm not going back to the doc for a refill.
Avatar m tn (The BP med clonidine is particularly popular for easing the high blood pressure, anxiety and crawling skin sensations for many people.) Because you have underlying health conditions, I would strongly suggest you discuss this plan with your doctor. Rest assured, though, kicking opiates is famous for making you feel like death but not killing you. Frankly, it all comes down to this: you're going to be uncomfortable for a while.
864885 tn?1240010794 Nothing eased the pain, and I was finally put onto oxycodone. At first, it seemed like a miracle. The pain subsided, my anxiety dropped to almost nothing (for the first time in my life) and I felt that I got my "self" back. To keep the pain and anxiety under control, I gradually increased the dosage until I am presently on 160mg. of oxy/day. It still works for pain, but the anxiety has gotten out of control. I also have no energy or desire to do anything.
Avatar m tn Hello Gemma, The best person to ask about this I would imagine is your family doctor. Who gave you the prescription for oxycodone ? I'm guessing your family doctor. Who prescribed the alprazolam for anxiety? Anyway, I would consult your family doctor.
939983 tn?1262528060 I was taking 300+mg of oxycodone a day for the management of the chronic pain associated with adhesive arachnoiditis.
Avatar f tn On the fentenyal patch and told my us came back positive for oxycodone how is this possible?
Avatar m tn Hi James, I am also day 18 off opiates. Was on oxycodone ir 60mg a day everyday for 11 years. I also have a really hard time sleeping and get that anxious feeling still. You're deff not alone and you've come to the right place. They're are some amazing ppl here that have been clean off the same as us. They've helped me a lot!!
Avatar f tn re pregnant. The effects of sudden withdrawal can be more severe for the fetus, than continuing oxycodone throughout your pregnancy. If you really want to stop, you must do it under medical supervision. You won't have harmed your baby by taking oxycodone, and it very unlikely to cause any harm even if you take it right through your pregnancy. Some babies do withdraw following birth, and this shown by a period of increased crying and irritability.
1667425 tn?1303325680 , off prescribed oxycodone for the management of my back injuries/pain. I am a 37yr old Mom of two beautiful girls, and wife of 16 years. As I've said, I've tried this before, but never could make it. My family depends on me every day to be,"ok", and my husband doesn't have this problem, and doesn't,"get", what it is like. I've been doing some homework, and have seen several referances to Amino Acids.
Avatar f tn I've been on methadone for 18 yrs. Yes, I said 18 yrs. I'm down to mgs. would like to know if suboxone would work for someone like me. I'm also taking .5 mgs. of Xanax for anxiety, are there any alternatives for this drug. So far everything tried has not worked and I go into seizures.
Avatar n tn I have been weaning for several weeks. Should I keep weaning for another several days or should I just quit. Since I have been experiencing some withdrawals with each dose change will that be similar to when I stop completely or will I have a rough time with stopping completely.
506212 tn?1210868214 See if your doctor can give you something for sleep and benzos for anxiety. Immodium is very important. Drink lots of fluids and eat bannanas. Take lots of hot baths. If your not psycologically addicted you may not have strong cravings...you may not get these until later. Look under Health pages in the upper right and read PAWS-Post Acute Withdrawl Symptoms and Thomas Recipe. These will help you know what to expect and vitamines and aminos to get.
Avatar m tn Like most I have always had general back pain I had several surgeries a few years ago where I was in the hospital 2 weeks with gallstones that dissolved and part of the sludge entered my pancreas that ate a hole through it causing 10 litters of fluid to build up behind my lungs. They basically cut me sternum to spine that & used a rib splitter. it causes pain under my breast still. Then last year was in a car accident that caused bulging discs to hit nerves in my lumbar and cervical.
Avatar m tn Day 2 from a 2-3/30mg roxies, feel awful I've quit before for 6 months from a 1/day habit but that was a few years ago. Now I was up to 2-3 daily...How long will the mental recovery take? I know I'll have flu symptoms, anxiety, depression, sleep issues for about a week or so and I'm more worried about the long term. When would I start to enjoy things again and be 100%? Thanks in advance everyone.
Avatar m tn Oxycodone is a stronger narcotic then the narcotic in vicodin which is hydrocodone. Both will cause WD. The WD from oxycodone was always much worse for me then hydrocodone but some say it's the same. What form and strength of oxy were you taking? If you were taking 1-2 oxycontin, whatever the strength, per day and then switch to hydrocodone down to 15mg of it per day, IMO you most likely would feel some form of WD.
939983 tn?1262528060 s even time to take one! I still have my oxycodone 15mg for breakthrough pain, 2 tablets every four hours, however I have yet to take two tablets, and most of the time I don't even need ONE! I can go five to six hours between my Methadone doses and only remember that it's time to take it because I'll look at the clock, not because the pain in my body is reminding me. It's also HUNDREDS of dollars a month cheaper than the oxycodone, so this has been a HUGE blessing for me!
Avatar m tn That depends on how long you used for i belive.Usualy for me,and believe me i can take enuff to kill a person,but at the same time just a few does the trick. But day 5 is key,that's when u want to eat,normal bowel movements.Sleep starts coming back. I use trazedone to help sleep,Anxiety isn't too bad.Read up on PAWS tho so u know what to expect,it can come back down the road,it is the price we pay. But don't fear support is right here.Nutrition plays a big part.GOOD food.
6577573 tn?1385004776 type symptoms go away when coming off Oxycodone. I was taking 60mg/day for about 12years and have gone down to nil over the past 15 days. I'm struggling with this and just would like to know...WHEN DOES IT STOP?? I'm on Clonidine am and pm to assist...just doesn't seem enough. It took me all of last year to wean off Fentyl Duragesic 100mcg/q2days. I am trying very hard to eliminate my body of the narcotics I've been on for severe Fibromyalgia...
Avatar f tn Monday I was on 4 15mg's a day for 5 years. Tuesday I went down to 1 and a half pills. Wednesday I did a half pill in morning and a half at night, thursday I did an 1/8 of a pill, but needed a half at 6PM. Today took one half at 12noon. I know Im going fast, but I detoxed alot in 4 days. Feels like garbage. Any one else going thru this at same time as me? I need moral support. PLEASE!
Avatar m tn I took approximately 2 percocets a day each pill being 5-325 mgs for 2 months for ongoing kidney stones, and then I went "Cold Turkey". I felt sick from the withdrawls but the only thing that I got that is really concerning me that I still have is dyspnea, where it feels like I can't get enough air in my lungs.I stopped taking percocets for like almost 5 days now and I'm not going to take anymore.
647120 tn?1256601651 When my doctor saw me, he said he wanted me off of them immediately, so I quit the clorazepate and the oxycodone without looking back, but I had to continue 15 mg of vicodin a day for residual leg pain. The day after I quit the narcotics, I developed a debilitating case of anxiety that I thought was drug withdrawal, but it kept on for weeks. Xanax didn't touch it until I started taking 37.5 mg of Effexor each day.
