I have been taking 2 30mgs oxys a day for about 3 months. I want to stop because they are taking over my life and i am becoming more addicted to them. I am now snorting them. Can anybody tell me what is the best way to come off them? I am on day 2 cold turkey but i dont know if i can do it. I own my own business and can't take time off. Should i taper off or just do cold turkey? Also will i ever feel normal or happy again and how long will it take? Please help.

Okay, So to sum this up quickly I was on oxycontin (up to 200-400mg a day) for 3 years, and I went on methadone. My Babys dad was also doin this with me...anyways he got clean and wanted me off the methadone, so I stopped it Cold turky, but was too ***** to go thru that ****, and started using pills again ( I even got him back into and he was like 6 weeks clean....*sigh*) anyways, I DONT WANT TO go thru the hell I KNOW im facing.
Does anyone have info on Clonidine? My daughter is in Medical detox and they are giving her this during her detox. I'm just wondering if it is another addictive drug or if it is just an aid in the detoxification. I would assume they wouln't give her something addictive but you never know.
Found your site yesterday and instead of being on the verge of giving up, I am now on my way to my doctor to ask for Tramadol (and to use every fiber of my being to try not to hit him for not telling me such things existed when he knew I was suffering terrible withdrawl from the tapering off oxycontin and oxy ir's)
My question is... since I don't trust my doctor anymore... what dose should I ask for?
I was on 100mg oxy twice a day and 20mg oxy ir, 4 times a day...
ocycontin three times a day, use 15 to 45 mg. oxycodone for breakthrough pain as needed, clonidine 1mg. twice a day, and Ativan 1 mg. up to 3 times a day. Also to continue using the compounding cream.
I will have a follow-up appointment with her next Thursday as I'll also be having another stellate ganglion block then. She thinks it will take us a bit to find the right dose and scheduling, that we won't get it perfect the first time around.
with short term use, will withdrawl symptoms be as severe as long term use, and if so, what is the best way to reduce/avoid withdrawl?
i tried taking tramadol for my addiction to heroin and oxycontin and was able to stay clean for two months, but yes tramadol is addictive and can cause seizures in ppl who try and go CT with it, especially at the high dose you were at. I alsow as on suboxone treatment for my addcition for over 8 months, i am now on methadone and for me its worked a lot better, but for youre case I would try and just taper off completely and if you want a doctor to help you they def. can, i would even suggest it.
I took Clonidine for several days during detox. It really did make a difference in helping with my withdrawl symptoms. Helped to keep me calmer and in my skin. I also had a few tranzene that I took ( I cut them in halves ) . These two things along with the Immodium and otc pain meds were a hugh help for me.
I was a chronic user of both oxycontin and oxycodone. It was prescribed to me for a shoulder injury. I have never used illegally. My dr. never tried to stop or taper me down only the opposite. Within two years I was up to 360 30mg ocodone and 60 60 mg oxycontin a month not to mention soma and 3 xanax bars a day. I never filled the xanax or the soma due to the fact that I had already realized what a monster the pain meds had become (thank god). I had spoken to the dr.
I got a friend that due to extreme and lasting pains has been on oxycontin for 8 years now.Recently,someone stole her pills.She is not due to have a refill in some time yet,and she knows for a fact that she will not have enough to last to her next refill.
As her friend,i am very concerned with what this does to her as she is in poor health as it is.She wants to get of the oxycontin as she found another drug that has been proven to have a good degree of effect on patients such as herself.
t want to go there), felt terrible for about 24 to 72 hrs after last dose. Slight withdrawals like chills for about 7 days. You are probably in the worst part of WD now, keep up the good work. This is my first time to post here, but when I was WD I read here often, was good so as not to feel alone. Thank you to all you kind people here. Have not taken a pill in 3 weeks now.
Hello...I've been on 15 10mg vikes for a year now and have decided to go CT starting Friday. I've been through it before, but I wasn't taking as much then. I've got access to a few meds to "hopefully" make things easier and wanted some input on what you all think. I'm new to this sight and it looks very helpful to people suffering from my same situation and would really appreciate your insight from experience.
I went into withdrawl within 24 hours and stayed down for 4 days with horrible withdrawl. Finally after he tweaked the Oxy's I told him this wasn't working and he put me back on the Methadone with 2 pills a day of Morphine that lasts 12 hours. He wants me to go from 10 pills every 24 hours down to 6. I've so far gotten down to 8 in the last 3 weeks. 2 days ago I dropped form 9 to 8. So far I feel OK. I'm planning on dropping a 1/2 pill on Friday to 7.5 pills.
