These may include treatment for runny nose, diarrhea, etc. Hyperalgesia is a common symptom of opioid withdrawal. While symptom fades with time, in the early months of withdrawal it can be quite debilitating depending on your underlying pain condition.
Avatar f tn You are now likely either in withdrawal from coming off oxycodone, or in precipitated withdrawal from the buprenorphine's opioid blocking effects. I wish I had an easy answer for you, but the right way forward at this point depends on many different factors-- factors that I do not know. I would recommend getting back on the meds you were taking, and making sure that your doc understands the complex effects of buprenorphine-- including the opioid blocking effects of the medication.
Avatar f tn I've been addicted to painkillers for about 16 months. I take up to 30 750mg oxycodones a day. yesterday night i finished my last dose- i was taking 8 at a time. i'm feeling the withdrawals. no one knows i'm going through any of this. i have no money for any type of treatment center and i don't know how to withdrawal at home without being in such bad pain for 8 days. can anyone help me?
Avatar f tn I quit cold turkey. I was on 300mg+/day and went to treatment. It can be done, with or without treatment, and since you are only 20, (I am 23) you may be like me and not have the horrible withdrawal that some people experience. Tapering is really hard for addicts, we tend to want to take more than we should, as usual lol. Good luck with whatever you choose, but be sure to get some aftercare, as this will help with all aspects of withdrawal.
Avatar n tn Ok, I am just into day 2 of quitting ocycodone cold turkey. My doctor decided this was the best way to do it as opposed to weaning. I have to say he was right. this is hell. He pout me on 30mg of cymbalta to help ease the anxiety which seems to be helping however tyhe nausea is really bad. I cant eat, sleep or really do much of anything.
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 f tn Hi I have a question I was on oxycodone 15 mg for 3 weeks stop taking them had mild withdrawal had to go back on them for 8 days after I had a back procedure would eyes go through withdrawal again
Avatar f tn 5 s a day when I crushed my ribs in 2001 and found it took care of the fibro pain - and the back pain I was having after a day of physical work. My Dr switched me to Oxycodone after an epidural - it's a terrible depressing feeling drug for me. He won't go back to Norco. Do you think I am having withdrawals from taking 3 tabs 10/325 (I only took a few oxycodone) for 5 years or this is fibro. Without the Norco I am always fatigued, achy, and confused feeling.
Avatar f tn set at a level equal to about 50 mg of oxycodone per 24 hours. If you were on a dose of oxycodone or other opiates equivalent to significantly more than that, there will be an adjustment period for your tolerance to come down to that level. Sometimes it can be hard to tell whether a person is in withdrawal vs 'narcotized' (the opposite of withdrawal). The easiest way to tell is to look at the pupils in a dimly-lit room.
Avatar m tn I'm just short of 60 hours since my last dose of oxycodone. I have no withdrawal symptoms at all -- none. I even slept fairly well last night w/o any sleep aids (except melatonin, an over-the-counter supplement which I have been taking for years). For those who don't know my history, I was on oxycodone for about 3 months. The first two were fairly low dosages (10-20 mg/day) to help me deal with significant sciatic pain caused by a synovial cyst in my lumbar spine.
Avatar m tn If you give buprenorphine to a person who is taking nigh doses of oxycodone, you usually cause withdrawal. I am surprised that you were able to add a buprenorphine patch, while taking oxycodone, without getting withdrawal symptoms. Depression is very common during opioid withdrawal, and is the worst symptoms for most people. If you became depressed when the buprenorphine patch was started, I would not be surprised.
Avatar f tn Maybe I explained it wrong. I had withdrawal after 12 hours of last oxycodone. It was hell getting better but still very hard. Day 15 today. Legs still bad.
Avatar m tn It does sound like it could be withdraw symptoms. Usually withdraw last about 7 days. The worst days are days 3-4. Just let him know that things will get better. Luckily he was not on the meds for very long so his withdraw will not be as severe as other peoples on here. He should be fine in no time.
Avatar f tn I'm 83 years old, female, andhave for the largest part of my life lived with addiction to alcohol and tobacco, but am now off of both with family intervention. Two months ago I had hip replacement surgery with oxycodone prescribed for pain after surgery, and now I can't sleep and have severe muscle spasms if I don't have oxycodone around the clock. I'm going for surgical followup in a few days but need to know how to get off this drug without going crazy.
Avatar m tn t have quit. because sub withdrawal is way worse then oxycodone withdrawal without a doubt. and I would not advise anyone to cold turkey quit subs if you do quit just quit the oxycodone I have done that and was only 4 days compared to the duration of sub withdrawal. but can anyone answer my ? that has done it before honestly. thanks in advance.
Avatar f tn re pregnant. The effects of sudden withdrawal can be more severe for the fetus, than continuing oxycodone throughout your pregnancy. If you really want to stop, you must do it under medical supervision. You won't have harmed your baby by taking oxycodone, and it very unlikely to cause any harm even if you take it right through your pregnancy. Some babies do withdraw following birth, and this shown by a period of increased crying and irritability.
Avatar f tn I became addicted to oxycontin, having began on endone (5mg oxycodone instant release) 1 per day, and progressed within the space of three years to 6 x 80mg oxycodone, taken not for pain anymore, but because I had developed a tolerance, and an addiction, to which it seemed there was no ceiling dose!! Scary!!! I knew I needed help, and eventually turned myself over to a detox clinic for outpatient treatment. The treatment was delivered with the mantra: SLOWLY DOES IT!!
Avatar n tn After 8 years of taking different pain medication for chronic back pain, I detoxed by myself from 160 mg of oxycodone. I had suboxone and started taking .2 mg of suboxone. After 6-1/2 months, I gradually tapered off it and since mid-January I have been off it completely. I went through all the typical withdrawals of "kicking" legs, nausea, and flu-like symptons. It has been 7 weeks and I still feel lousy.
Avatar f tn From what I read oxycodone is stronger than hydrocodone. Oxycodone is a Schedule II narcotic & hydrocodone is a Schedule III. Oxy is more highly regulated and has greater abuse potential. This is because as time goes on, it takes more of the drug to do produce the initial effects. I will keep you in my prayers as you embark on this very important journey.
Avatar f tn Withdrawal from oxycodone is generally not life threatening. But some of the side effects can be very uncomfortable. The main side effects of oxycodone withdrawal are the same as other opiates and opioids are classified as mild, moderate or severe.
