I have been tapering my amount of Oxycontin for about a month now. I am down to 10mg in the AM and 10mg in the PM. My doctor had me taking them three times a day before. I really feel the difference with the twice a day dose. He is having me cut down 10mg every week. I was fine until this week. Does anyone have any advice for me? I can not stand the weekness in my legs already and I am not finished tapering. I am really afraid of cutting down to once a day on Tuesday.....help!

Thanks to everyone who sent me good wishes on my trip to detox from Oxycontin abuse. I spent 6 days in-patient at a nice detox facility up in the woods. They used methadone to detox me & prevent the withdrawal from the Oxy. It worked very well & I was tapered from the methadone over the 6 days & am now off of everything! Being at a detox center with many other addicts was a true eye opening experience! I was with herion addicts, coke abusers, & alcoholics.

Again, if anyone is in the Philadelphia area and/or it's surrounding area like NJ or Philadelphia suburbs that goes to a doctor they know real well or have any other advice PLEASE!!! help me. if not, I understand. Thank you al very much for everything, I appreciate it!

i mention this because,3 times i have seen front page news ,here in philadelphia when a teenagers have died from oxy abuse. while kids driving drunk and dying in car accidents is not news. so any other new insights??????????????

why don't you get on oxycontin? I told him, I said for one I don't want to be on oxycontin because of my history with drugs and two, doesn't oxycontin replicate the HCV virus? Well he said he didn't know, it didn't surprise me as alot of doctors don't know. At the end of my overly long posts, I'm gonna try to place a link to one of our last discussions on this subject just for informational purposes.

Post operative, they placed him on 20mg oxycontin twice daily (w/ Darvon for breakthrough pain). Sixteen days post operative he began to feel sick... nausea, trembling, depression, palpitations of heart, sleeplessness. He was miserable but still took his meds as directed. On learning of his sickness, his General told him to discontinue oxy (cold) and use the Darvon for pain.

Hi, I found this site and read and read for about 2 days before joining. I was looking for answers to questions that may never get answered, but I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm a 45 yr. old homemaker, wife of a wonderful hard working husband and I have 1 son who is the love of my life. My son is 16. When I was 33yrs. old I lost my first husband to a sudden heart attack, he was my son's father. A few years passed and I was having a lot of pain through out my whole body, lower back, etc...

I was taking around or equal to 80 vicoden a day. No joke, I was chewing 10 or 12 40mg oxycontin a day. Same drug just more potent. I did it cold turkey with the help of Clonidine and Robaxin. I'm not going to go into how bad it was, but you can only imagine. At your dose you should have no problem. The physical should last a couple of days, then the rest is mental. Yea then what about the pain? I'm dealing with that right now but don't want anymore narcotics!! Good luck...........

They actually get most of the information on a drug from the drug company sales reps if you can believe that. Thats how the Oxycontin epidemic got started 10 years ago, because docs bought that oxycodone was not very addictive from the Purdue drug company sales reps. HAH can you believe that? An MD not knowing that the opioid oxycodone is highly addictive! I mean, come on, I am a software developer and I know that all opioids are addictive. You can get hooked on Lomotil. The fools.

It was called White Deer Run and was in Pa. only closer to Philadelphia. It was a great place. He went to a halfway house. that they had to extend his treatment time and is doing well 4 years later. He really should have in-house rehab for heroin addiction along with counseling, relapse prevention and aftercare. God bless and much luck to you.

Im not sure where Bradford is but it would be worth the trip. He is located right over the bridge from Philadelphia. Good luck and you can find his exact address on the net.If you have problems with that let me know and i will get you exact address and phone numbers.

Recently I was up to 10-15 5mg Percs a day or the equivalent or more in oxycontin (whatever was easier to get)....Oh let me back up a little..I live in a big city and get them off of the street (really easy to get). I went from looking forward to taking them on the weekend to having to take them as soon as I woke up, just to make it through my day. At work, I would spend my whole day making phone calls to assure that I'd have some for the rest of the night. Living like this is exhausting!!!

at times is severe enough to require Oxycontin or MS Contin as well; cannot function without NSAIDs - Other symptoms include pain, tingling and numbness in my arms, legs, fingers and toes (transient) and severe fatigue; diarrhea which started a month or so before the bursitis and never resolved (ruled out Crohn's and parasitic/bacterial GI infections, ruled out C.

Yet, I can not get out of bed and work or do anything due to the pain without oxycodone or oxycontin, and I am really not liking buying them of off the street because I do not want to find myself in legal problems. I am in Philadelphia, Pa if anyone can help PLEASE do so.

I just stumbled upon this board and it

During my first visit I told the doctor my situation. I was using 100mg of oxycontin per day for about ten months. Previously I had used darvocet for 5 years. I was given a precription which was filled right down the street from the docs office. The deal was that I received 3 preloaded syringes with buprenorphine and clonadine. I did as directed injecting one syringe per day for three days. There was no high but more importantly there was no withdrawl.

I've taken oxycontin, oxycodone, hydros & ultram. Ultram was the hardest for me to detox from. It helped my mood when I took it-I was also taking antidepressants. I asked my former doc about the mood enhancement & he said it had the same ingredients as an SSRI (even moreso.) So when you stop taking ultram, it's a double whammy--no more pain med & no more mood med. Also, Ultram is dangerous to take together with SSRI's as it can cause seizures.

Good words JB - truly. I forgot to mention Chad - Percocet HAS OXYCODONE IN IT. THE SAME INGREDIENT THAT IS IN OXYCONTIN. Know what you're taking man. Your "recovery" from Oxy is over. Tomorrow is day ONE again. Sounds to me like you're going to fill the other RX today too. That's cool. Don't feel guilty per se. Just take care of yourself. You'll get there.

i have a neice who is 19 and has been hooked on oxycotin for about 2 years,in the philadelphia area the neww solution for young people to get off it is methadone maitnance for a one year program, that cost 100 dollas a week. with all my experence with drugs , useing them and getting clean she asked me what i thought,it was drastic but probley safer. my question is , im i crazy but woulden't a 30 day detox/rehab be smarter then getting locked into a year long metadone program.

go to a thread below called "Oxycontin detox", dated 8-18. look up the "tom to Charlie" posts there. I put pretty much all I've learned about handling narcotic withdrawal over my 27-year "career" in those posts. You're on the right track with the hot baths, though. Hope this helps.

Had metal plate and coral cage inserted. I just have to live with the pain and take meds, mostly morphine or oxycontin and and live according to the pain. I hope yours goes but dont despair if it doesn't there are a lot of us out there for whom it didnt work and we soldier on. best wishes for us all to be pain free one day!

I really don't want to take anything that has tylenol in it unless I have to and don't want to take the long-acting oxycontin. Do they have a short-acting oxycontin? Is it called MScontin or something like that? I could go with morphine but don't know what dosage to ask for. I have been on Lortab 10m for over a year for arthritic pain, I'm sure my body has built up a tolerance to it and I don't want to be in pain. Any help on this subject would be appreciated.

Hello all, I have been reading this board for some time now, and only decided to post when I read Genie's post. I know how rough of a time I have had with pharmaceuticals, so I can only imagine the impact heroin would have. I will save my story for later, for as of right now I wish to address Genie. Have you considered a change of enviornment for your son? Short of jail, I mean?

that he frequented another site (like this one) also? It seems like I remember him saying that he was also posting on another site similar to this one. I did not know if maybe someone knew what site he was referring to. I am thinking that maybe someone asked what site it was. If he told them then maybe we could look for him there. Do this sound nuts or does it ring any bells? I know I am going on and on, just worried! Marcie.

I have been taking about 80 mg of Oxycontin and 80 mg of Hydrocodone for about 2 years as a result of a car accident where I broke my back. I don't know how relevnat it is but I have also been what most consider a heavy drinker for quite a while (I'm 43). I've decided to try and kick the habit and I'm just looking for some advice on how to get started. I'm still in a fair amount of pain but I'm tired to death of watching the clock and the next pill whether I have the pain or not.

there is nothing good fun or positive about oxycontin or oxcododne...nothing good about it. this drug should be banned. there are other choices...and what did my doctor write me for post op surgery....percasets. and what's the diff? nothing...except a lower dose and tylonol. why in the heck did he give me the same junk again? im so scared ill get sucked back in the dark vortex of oxy. i will pray for you. please pray for me.
