Common Questions and Answers about Oxycontin and anxiety
oxycontin
Not sure which drug had the worse anxiety in withdrawal. I used methadone, pot, OxyContin, MScontin, and Valium. I think the Valium was the hardest. I cold turkey off them all at the same time. Major seizures had to stay in HOSP for a bit. Am doing great now. Still have some paws but nothing like it was before.
Not sure if you are talking about oxycontin or oxycodone pills in various mixes and forms. Either way, oxycontin and percoccet have the narcotic oxycodone in it. Oxycontin is pure oxycodone in a time release form while percoccet is a mix of oxycodone and another OTC pain reliever. 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.
a nightmare from hell. ithe sweating, the chills, the extreme anxiety, leg cramps and spasms, you feel like youre dying and just wish you could or just be completely kncked out for the entire week. and thats just the physical side to it, the mental is jsut as bad, cravings and anxiety, the malaise you feel, its terrible. I was on 2 80 mg lines snorted a day and that was barely enough tog et me by and stay high, and detoxing even with clonidine, lorazepam, immodium,.

GREAT JOB!!! Now it will only get better..Make sure not to take the Benzo for very long..This was one of my 3 drugs I went c/t from and it was the worse. I know now the High Anxiety forever was not the Methadone so much as it was Benzo. Be very careful...Other then that you are doing a good job..Ya!!!!
I have been using narcotic painkillers off and on since about 12th grade. (I am now 22). I was clean from Feb 2005- August 2006. In the past 6 months I have been taking about 5-6 10mg percocets everyday. Within the past month I have been either doing that or snorting ATLEAST 1 80mg oxycontin a day. My friends finally found out about my "double life" and this gave me a strong incentive to quit. I havent touched any opiates in about 48 hours...
With that being said, my family member decided to get off the pain pills and has been able to so far control her pain with diet and exercise. She lost a lot of weight, began eating healthy and exercising.
How old are you? How progressed is your disease? If you do decide to quit, I urge you to get with your pain management doctor to devise a taper plan and possibly try some non narcotic things to keep your pain under control.

I don't know what happened to my old thread on this topic, but anyway, Im 19 years old and I'v had severe ocd and anxiety since I was little kid. I was also diagnosed with depression about 4 years ago. I'v been prescribed about every anti-depressant on the market, as well as a couple different bi-polar meds, all of which did absolutely nothing for me, except have negative side effects.
I was clean of oxycontin and and lowered my cymbalta with the plan to taper off. I then realized anxiety was a large issue with my depression, so we tried clonazepam. That worked miracles. It may give me bad memory, but it is worth it to live normally. This all happened around Febuary 2008.
In January 2009, I stopped using clonazepam. By March I realized I need to be back on it, I had the worst social anxiety of my life.
Last friday I was fairly happy with life, back on clonazepam.
I'm wondering if 1 oxycontin (80mg) that my BF gives me every day to assist in my wean will help me. I am having minimal WD signs but the physical pain for which I was initially prescribed 3 Dils (8mgs each) per day by the former doc comes roaring back every morning. I am no longer on the Dilaudids.
Wondering what the difference is between physical dependence and addiction (if there really is a difference). I take xanex for my panic attacks and anxiety and am definitely dependent on it. However, when a person is physical dependent on alcohol, they are an alcoholic - or tobacco, they are addicted to it. So why is there a difference?
I have the same problem. CHRONIC PAIN & ANXIETY. My Pain Dr has me taking Oxycontin & Percocet, while my Family Practitioner has me taking Lorazepam, Bupropion, and Venlafaxine. I have been taking this combination for several years now with good results except for occasional bouts of short term bouts (2 or 3 days) of depression and occasional panic attacks.
he said that for 3 days they put you in a room wiht a tv and make you comfortable and give u anxiety and sleep meds and you cannot speak to anyone for 3 days but he said it was not uncomfortable at all and he barely felt the withdrawals and he was taking a very large amount of oxycontin more than me. So im going to call the hospital today and he said insurance covers it all. Im so excited i found the answer i have been looking for for 7 months now!
Are you sure it's a migraine? I have migraines and thought withdrawals triggered them, too. But, it was actually tension headaches. You may want to get a script for something like Imitrex and try it. I will tell you that for most people, the headaches go away in a month or so. So, try and just tough it out.
Hi Everyone, I was just wondering if Norco, 10-325 is easier to withdraw from than Oxycontin 80mg. My friend was taking 2 oxycontin 80mg a day and told her doctor ( they were not prescribed) and she told the doctor that the only thing stopping her from quitting oxycontin was the horrible withdrawals. He put her on Norco and told her to wean down with those, and that going cold turkey off Norcos ( once she's weaned down to 5 a day) is easier than w/d from oxycontin.
After taking 2 yesterday with 7 1/2 hours in between the dosages I woke up today with THE WORST HEADACHE EVER like my head has been hit with a ton of bricks. I also take alot of meds for anxiety and depression. My doctor is one of the top doctors out there and I know he is very caucious with these pills. I'm just nervous that I took a total of 20mg percocet which had 325 mg tylenol in each pill. Should I be concerned?
