Home remedy for stopping Oxycodone

What are some of the best home remedies for stopping Oxycodone use? I have no money for the suboxone. I have been taking 5/325  8-10 a day for around 2 years prescribed by my VA doctor and I want to quit and I have tried but the withdrawals got the best of me? Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Hey sassy
Welcome to the forum.  First, if you start your own thread you will receive a lot more support.  This thread was started awhile ago and many members will just overlook it.  Go to the forum and click on Post a question and copy and paste this there.

IMO you really need to see a doctor for help due to your medical condition and the amount you are taking.  He can provide you with a good taper plan.  Doctors are very aware of how addicting these drugs are and should help you as addiction is a disease.  If you are totally honest with him, I am sure he will help you.
You may also need rehab.  Your family knows and I am sure they will be willing to help you if you are ready to quit.

Please start your own thread and get other opinions.

Wow someone who finally sounds as out of control as me. I am taking 12 of the 30 mg blue oxycodone IRS plus 4 to 5 of the 80 mg oxycontins together at once at least two times a day. I know that would kill an average person, they cannot even knock me out for surgery anymore. I dont know what to do cause if i even go without my meds for just 6 hours I start with sick withdrawal immediately. I am out of control and nothing seems to help. I cannot even imagine going three days without. I am 28 and I have been on some sort of oxycodone since I was 18 everyday . So that is now ten years without ever goin really a day without anything and now that I just went down in a drug raid and not even for my pills but I had taken the next step and started injecting H. Just because it was cheaper and I would run out of my meds 2 weeks into the month. And I know this may sound crazy but coming down off the H was easier for me than coming off the pills I don't know if that's cause I just started doin H for only 4 to 5 months or what but it was like the H was helping me tapper off the pills. Do I sound completely crazy or what . Anyways I am a medical assistant with a 2 year associates degree and I'm on disability. I can't even function anymore. I'm not even a person anymore. But no one even knew I was on anything I was a very functional addict. But now that I'm sure my pills will be taking away from me cause I'm sure the narcs called my doc and they took the pills I did have and stuck my *** in jail for 27 hours til I got bonded out and my whole family found out everything, I felt like the scum of the earth. My big secret is out now and it was crazy to see my family sitting there waiting for me n the look on their faces and the tears that followed when they saw how sick I really get without my meds for just 27 hours and mind u I had never ever been in trouble before, not even a ticket. Anyways the part of with drawl that scares me the most is that like creepy crawly feeling like restless leg syndrome all over my body where I feel like kicking n punchin stuff n the agitation that comes with it. So any suggestions for that. I had already read about the potassium n bannanas so I will give that a try. But just to let all you know there is something called the Waismann Method I think in California where they rapidly detox u under sedation so u don't even feel the withdrawals n when u wake up it was like u were never on it. But it is insanely priced like 10,000.00 plus but I also heard of a cheaper on in Michigan for like 8,700.00 which I know probably none of us have. But its out there just in case anyone wins the lottery. God I wish someone would just pay that clinic for me to go get that rapid detox. If I was lucky enough to get that done I would never even look at a pill again, I would be the happiest person in the world. Cause I can't do this cold turkey or with home remedies or detox or method one or even suboxone cause that put me into crazy with drawl when I tried that. This rapid detox is my only option or I will probably die or something cause I'm also epyleptic, I have seizures already n not having my meds will only make me have seizures more. I'm so screwed any suggestions people. I'm so scarred.

What is the best way to get off of Oxycodone's? Should I wean off to the lowest amount, or should I go cold turkey and get it over with? I am a mom of 4, and a nursing student so I need to do whatever method would be best. I was on 3-4 30mg a day and have almost cut that in half already...I have been on pain meds for over 4 years since my accidents and surgeries to replace disc in my neck, I have degenerative bone disease, fibromyalgia...but do not want to be on this type of medication anymore...not sure what I will do about the pain and that is scary in itself, much less thinking about what withdrawls are going to be like, but I have to do this...I want my life back, I don't even feel like myself anymore...so what are the best steps and ways to deal with this considering all of the above?

To everyone. Suboxone is awsome for coming off oxycodone.I have been taking 3 to 6 30s a day for almost two years. I took sub and i never even thought about snorting a pill the urge was gone, like a miracle. But if you dont wait about 20 hours after your last dose of oxy or any opiate and take sub you will get emergency room sick.If you do it right it can be your ticket out of this pill ruled hell we live in.
