Common Questions and Answers about What does oxycodone look like

oxycontin

That is how I came to be on the medication about 1 year ago. It does not make me fell good, in the way that someone stated they felt like superman, but it does make my body feel better. Only now, it doesn't help like it used to and there have been so many changes that I don't like with using it. It makes me feel like why bother. I found this place while looking for a self help idea of tapering off the drug. I found MANY online will sell without a prescriptions first.

Instead of reverting to smoking pot or taking another substance like Lyrica, I would suggest looking into vitamin, herbal and over the counter remedies to help you get by the first few days. Magnesium and Potassium both aid in neuromuscular communication, which will help your body alleviate your pain symptoms. Also, get yourself sone icy hot patches and take hot baths. I can tell you from experience that the hardest part of withdrawal only lasts about 5 days.

low dose formulations of oxycodone such as percocet(oxycodone/acetiminophen(tylenol)) or percodan(oxycodone/aspirin) which is most commonly given in 5mg or 10 mg tablets is usually given after certain surgeries and for people in severe pain. both oxycontin and percocet abuse has grown in popularity immensely in the past 10 years. its extremely drastic how fast it has arose to being a DOC for people. and the wd's are the same as other opiates of its kind like heroin or dilaudid.

It just keeps us from feeling like ****! I want to quit and so does she because we have 2 kids that we don't want to see us doing this and plus we want to have a normal life free from this crazy hustle of pills all day long! If we quit cold turkey from 60mg each how bad would the withdrawals be? Also how long will they last? I also suffer from severe panick attacks and anxiety and I take xanax for that and have never abused the xanax.

Any of you know what I am in for? I would like to know what to expect when I quit the Bupernex totaly--physicaly anyway. I know from previous x's the depression will probobly last 90 days or so?? ANY advise would be apreciated. I had never heard of this Bupernex till last week. Thanks to all of you I feel like I have new friends that can understand what I am going thru!

I lost my job because I was unable to go back to work and now my disability is running out in August. i need to get off of these things. When I try I feel like I have worms in my mucsles, I breathe hard, I have gained 40 pounds, I sneezing with no ending and that is scary! I feel like I will have a heart attack. I am truly scared.I have a new respect for drug users trying to get off of them tho I used to think that they should just go cold turkey and gut it out. Now I know differently.

it's still pretty bad Does he have legit pain? Doyou notice him staying up more? Does he smoke pot at all? if he does...Does he puff and not look high? percs often do that to people...at least it has to me and a few people I know How do his pupils look? often with long use your pupils are smaller....not larger like other drugs can affect someone......

I am a chronic pain patient from RSD, and take the generic form of Dilaudid, Hydromorphone and it works well for me. It's synthetic Morphine. Morphine does to me what the Oxy is doing to you, but I have no problem with the Dilaudid and I take a hefty dose. Hydrocodone is a lesser pain med than the Oxy, and there has been recent medical info about the efficacy of Darvocet which is worthless and Vicodin. Vicoden ES is stronger, as it has Tylenol in it. Plus there are different levels of it.

what's ahead for me? Am I over the bad part, or is there a lot more bad stuff to come? How long does the withdrawal effects last? Physically? Mentally? Surely there are many of you in a very similar limited-first-time-with-oxycodone-for-surgery situation who can give advice. Thanks for any info and help.

Now she is 7 months pregnant and is worried about her baby going through withdrawal when she is born. Does anyone have experience with pregancy and Oxycodone?

I think you are using the drug very properly and Doctors will swear you should be maintenence dosing taking the same amount daily . I dissagree I like what your doing except one thing breaking those pills that are time release is putting all the drug in you at once . We all fall into experimentation that are in pain . I myself think what your doing works but you will have trouble if you admit it . I see even on this site many are anti opiate .

There must be some doctors out there who have had to deal with something like what you're going through. You can't be the first pregnant woman to be badly burned or otherwise injured in an accident ... that said I would imagine that, besides the physical dependance, a doctor's big concern at delivery would be the suppression of the baby's breathing by the narcotics. At the same time, they gave my wife several demerol shots (ahh demerol, you're just a distant but o so fond memory ...

Each shot is 1,000.00. I just feel like I'm stuck and don't know what else to try. I have asked for an extra pill each month so that I can take it during the night because if I lay too long my back begins to hurt so bad I can't sleep. His nurse wouldn't even asked the doctor to up my dose. She just told me 4 is enough. I do hate running out a few days early though. I just wish so bad I didn't have to take them at all. I hate being dependant on them.

Omg, I' m trying to stop using oxycodone this is day 2 of not using and i can't take feeling like this. I've been hooked for 2 yrs and can't stand the person i've become, lying, stealing, hurting myself and others that care about me. My whole body is shaking, Ihad sweats real bad last night, restless legs, chills all symptoms, feeling worse today what hell will I have to endure tonight. wish I never took one pill. Trying to be strong but about to break!

Does he work? Does he have major medical? If he does, there is an injectable shot of Naltrexone called Vivitrol that is completely covered by insurance that will keep him from both using Oxy and alcohol. He does need to be Oxy free for seven day. Yes, cold turkey. But if he keep getting the shot every month, it will keep him clean. Where there is a will, there is a way. It just depends what the will is for.

Check with your physician for other suggestions but also listen to your own body. Do what feels right. Not everyone has the same issues with food, so eat what you can tolerate and avoid those items you cannot. Note: alcohol dries the mouth, and spicy foods and fruit acids tend to irritate those with dry mouth. Food Dryness can affect what we eat in many ways. Certain foods may irritate your mouth while other foods may need lots of liquid to make them go down.

If you can stick to a taper,it may be easier in the long run. It sounds like you've had what you're going to have so far...As you decrease your dose,you'll have symptoms but it sounds like they're tolerable. Now that the weekend is here,why don't you just jump off?

Its not pretty. Now if you look back a few years later like some of them and your still on sub, then you might want to rethink your situation, (And your Doctor). I guess at least you wont be on that nasty devilish dirty. Good luck.

I have a serious question, and no, i'm not joking, a friend of mine offered me 30 10mg Oxycodone tabs a week ago, I took them all over the past 7 days, and now I'm out, and apparently I'm in withdrawls and it sux to say the least. I'm looking for advice, honestly, i know you might say, 1 week, 30pills, your nuts, it's true, i've never felt this awful in my life, no sleep, hot/cold, shoulders hurt, stomach upset.

So getting close to 48hrs now...Its been horrible. Went to the hospital today to finish out the week and I plan on calling in sick next week. Its difficult to function with the slightest bit of efficiency when your feeling this way. Anyways, I've gone to the gym 4 times in the last 48 hours and still haven't had to fill the prescription for Atavan, which is a minor accomplishment.

I started out taking them as prescribed, one tablet every four hours, to taking 3 at a time every 3-4 hours. The effect does not last long anymore. I am afraid I will start taking more and more just to feel better longer. Sometimes I do have real pain and I find myself liking the fact that I have a real reason to take them and would wish the pain would stay around for a while so I could take more. This is so crazy. Anyone else ever feel that way?

cause I was 55 days clean before I ever found this MedHelp forum or learned ANY of this information about w/drawing from narcotics. It MAY have helped me.....??? Like I said, what did I know? Pretty much nothing......just that my life was unmanageable, I was a mess, I was broken in every way. It was simply TIME to get r done and I was ready.

He says he will believe it if someone who went through this confirms it. We are looking into rehab and detox. Does the clonodine work well? Thanks for your help and I wish you all success in kicking your habits and hope that your loved ones can weather the storm with you.

Does anyone know a pharmacy in the saint pete-sarasota area that has oxycodone 30mg in stock yet? I had 180 30 mg tabs filled at a compounding pharmacy last month and that was a HUGE mistake....not only have I been vomiting for a month, but I paid 4.00 per pill and they seemed maybe 1/2 as strong as my usual dose .I so wish this mess was resolved....

If you didn't know, oxycodone runs rampid in this area, i mean people go to florida left and right to hit up those pain clinics. Anyways, I'm addicted to this horrible drug, and its hell. I mean, even when I'm high off of them, i don't really even enjoy it. I'm just so afraid to detox from it ( i know that sounds stupid, but i've been through many bad dt's ) and of course, even when I am clean -- i crave it more than anything.

I don't blame them for not helping, because I lie to them and manipulate like any and every addict does.

anyone trying tog et off stronger opioid like oxycodone, heroin, morphine, fentanyl, hydromorphone(dilaudid), etc. will ahve a lot harder time tapering off even with the help with your doctors, if you try tapering and dont succeed i would honestly try giving suboxone treatment a good shot..and only you will know if you truly want to get off of the opioids completely for good.

I did what you suggest, and took a look at the mystery illness symptoms. Some people who post on that are really suffering bad! Because there are so many posts on it, it'll take some time to check out thoroughly. But thanks. I am a little better the last few days.
