Avatar f tn What are the withdrawal symptoms off of Oxycontin of a long time abuser? Is it always different depending on the person?
Avatar f tn before and this is the least amount of symptoms I have ever had. I have zero depression and I normally get very bad depression (wishing I was dead, urge to do cutting). I haven't had any of that.
Avatar m tn Hello doctor, I was just wondering if you could suggest anything that would make detoxing from about 160-200mg of oxycontin a day even slightly more comfortable? I've tried cold turkey before and it was just a bit much lol! The RLS and the aches, depression, anxiety, etc. got the upper hand and I was just hoping there was something I could do to make this process a big more bearable. If not, just have to smile an bear it I suppose.
Avatar m tn Was just curious. Do withdrawal symptoms differ depending on what type of opiates ones using? I meen I'm taking perc. 30's will my withdrawals be different from let's say if I was gonna withdrawal from morphine? Or is a withdrawal a withdrawal? I hope that makes sense! I'm just trying to figure out what I'm in for. I've went through withdrawals from large amounts of vicodin E/S, and ofcourse that was miserable.. Recently I've been doing alot of the perc.
Avatar m tn Hi guys. I'm on my 4th day of Oxycontin withdrawal, was snorting about 6 or 7 OC 80's a day for 3 years. The problem now is, not only am I completely sick of it, but Purdue Pharma only makes a tamper proof formula that really can't be crushed, believe me I've tried everything possible. Most of the people on here probably know, the new one's, the have OP-80 instead of OC-80.
Avatar m tn Hey Debbie, I've been on Lyrica for years almost as long as the OxyContin. Not too much at first 150mg a day. It really helped with the leg pain at the time. After my nerve root injury it really increased like I said up to 600mg a day, which is twice the recommended dose. It really helped my leg pain but I got very depressed on it. After a couple of years the nerve healed some, the sciatic nerve takes a long time to heal, and I was finally able to wean myself back down to 300mg.
Avatar n tn I am new to this website, however not new to addiction. I was on oxycontin about 3 years ago and ended up having to do the rapid detox to get off of them. I did really well up until I had my baby (by c-section) 6 months ago and was giving perocet 10/325, then a month later I had my appendics removed and given more perocets. Needless to say I have been taking them for the past 6 months and enough is enough. I can honestly say I never abused them this go around.
Avatar m tn In my and others experience, the best withdrawal method is a process of cutting back your dosage over time. Going into a rehab unit is pure hell. And anyway you are not an addict. Take it slow friend. In my humble opinion the vicodin you may want to stay on the longest. Percs make me feel depressed. Vicodin does not do that. I am a pain patient. This may sound counter intuitive but oxycontin acts longer with getting a less addictive buzz or high like one does on vikes(hydrocodone).
Avatar n tn I went thru oxycontin withdrawals in 2003, it was 3 long weeks of full blown withdrawals non stop. But right afterwards, i healed fast. This is my secong time, with oxycodone, and even tho, the withdrawals only lasted about 9 days, the aftermath nis horrendeous. Mental depression, anxiety which is finally tapering off in the last 2 days ( today 32 days clean), and my physcial pains are intensified right now about a gazillion!
