I have been on Oxycodone for over 2 years now. I started going to the doctor for flu like symptoms and missing alot of work, and my doctors just couldn't find anything wrong with me. I was finally sent to an athrocare specialist because all my symptoms were bone and joint related, headaches, neck aches, and my legs and arms always hurt. Like I said it felt like I had the flu. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and was given Lyrica, Cymbalta, and Oxycodone. At first the oxycodone worked great, and minutes after I took it I felt the pain disappear, but also noticed that I got a feeling as though I could worry about nothing which I liked very much. At first I was taking 1 to 2 every 4 to 6 hours and I was only taking 1, but as time went on, I started taking 2 and then more than 2 every 4 hours and then 2 sooner. Before long I was taking more than prescribed and when I would run out the first time, I noticed the w/d symptoms were awful. Sweating, depression, the pain was worse than ever and I couldn't even get out of bed. I had no apetite and just slept for days until I could get my refills. Now I just want to get off the stuff because I always run out before I'm supposed to and I panic because I know what I'm in store for with the w/d symptoms. I'm afraid to tell my doctor about it for fear that he will stop giving them to me altogether. Has anyone else gone through this, and if so what are you doing or did you do to make this better. Is there anything out there that substitutes oxycodone to get me off the stuff so that I don't have to go through the w/d or DTs?
