Home remedy for stopping Oxycodone

[jhollo1970]

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

This has become a terrible epidemic, and I have the same problem as well. I went to a pain management clinic, and was going for over a year now only to find out that they just give you what they think you want because all they care about is money.. Before the clinic, I wouldn't even take asprin or tylenol, but I have sciatica, degenerative disc disease, and scoliosis in my back and I figured a doctor would provide the proper treatment so I could function at work because I am the sole provider of my two small children. The pain just got worse and worse due to my job as a home healthcare aid it requires constant lifting. I saw this "doctor" and gave him my MRI disc it wouldn't pull up so he had me do a couple of exercises and tell him when it hurt. I did, and he said "Oh you have such n such arthritis in your back, Im going to trust what you said about your MRI" and he immediately prescribed me 120 oxy 30's instant release, 90 oxy15's and 60 350mg somas. Don't ever put your trust in a doctor that only cares about money because this stuff will control and ruin your life and that office recently got shut down along with about 7 others. I was lost and in a type of pain I cant even explain or wish upon my worst enemy I found a new doctor told him everything and he is assisting me in getting these pills out of my life! I will soon be getting  non narcotic injections called "trigger shots" and get my life back. Good luck to all who are going through what I am. You can do it even when you feel like you can't I promise. Seek support from family and talk to an honest caring doctor.

I was taking 8-12 15mg a day, rx was for 3 15's a day! I have herniated discs neck and back. Its hell to for the 1st 3 days 4th day little better and that was with taking the the oxy's I'm down to 3 a day and I have my wife hand them out to me and keep my rx under lock and key!  I found that walking and lots of fluid helped me! Just stay busy! keeping going this will end! I went through these WD's a few years back my dr put me on methadone for ankle reconstruction once the pain was gone and was going back to work  I asked him if I needed to ween off it and he said no it will gradually leave your body! NOT that was the worste HELL I've ever went through that took about 6 months to get feeling 60% better! So I must say the oxycodone WD's are way easier (they suck) but You can do it! I'm doing it with you and am going to try some of these vitamins to help! sorry to ramble on and on, just trying to keep my mind off these dang wd's uck.

i am currently takin about 60 mg of oxycodone a day for the past yr &1/2  sometimes i may take 90 mg a day no one knows i do that many not my family or co workers they think i just take lortab 5mg of 5/325 from the dr but i also get the 30s on the street it is tearing me apart i can not function with out them i have got to atleast take one a day or im missrabel with the shakes and sickness vomiting runs cant rest at night. i have this past week taken only one 30 per day and a few of them days i broke them in half and just took 15 mg them days but today was horable had no sleep the night before run out of all of my meds 2 days prior to this i think i can get the shaking part under control tomorrow when i get my script of xanaxx tomorrow but i dont know if i can stop cold turkey i tried one time and coulldnt get passed day 3 id give up i was so missrable i went oout looking and 30 min later bam felt like a new man. I need to get off them all together but i have a sever back pain that is got to the point i can not bend over any more my back hurts all the time the dr that gave me the 5/325 suggested i went to a pain managment clinic and the dr up there would write me and help me manage this pain but the people i buy the 30s from say its like 235$ your first visit then like 170$ after the first month. I know what would happen is I would be just like them I would sell enough to pay for my next appt and keep the rest some of the people i buy from just go there and sell all of them and make like 4200 for the moth supply and they dont have anything wrong with them so they sell it. I do not want to go down that road at all I am wandering it seems like I have started to have some control over it by tappering down dut when im totally out and cant even take a half of one i am misrable any suggestions im thinking about getting a few 30 breaking them in half and each day take less and less untill there is no more and also take my xanaxx to help sleep and do the vitamins and the Imodium as well i am off from work from a injury i had at work and dont think i will be released to go back at least for another week and im hoping while im off from that I can kick this habit suggestions please would you get enogh to tapper off them or cold turkey while im off from work but please help

Many of them have overcome their addictions to opiates by doing it at home.
You will receive lots of support from them.
This can be done and you can get your life back. You are young and have the whole world to take on and you can do it sober.

I am 21yrs of age and have been addicted to opiate related drugs since I  was 17yrs of age. My addiction started with having a horrible car wreck messing up many numerous parts of my body. Before I was always a kid to say No to substances such as(pills, marijuana, cigarettes, etc). Now its 4 years later and im trying to quit smoking, fight the mind struggle of short and long term effects of drug abuse, and trying to overcome to stress that comes with it. when I was first prescribed Hydrocodone 5's I would not take them and deal with the pain but was agonizing to deal with on occasions. Eventually it became a point of being able to walk to pursue high school to a point I had to miss numerous numbers of days to where I just had to suck it up and take the medicine by Dr. orders until it was the time for surgery to pull steel out of my body. I missed my surgery appointment and my insurance ran out. After that point I dealed with the fear of how bad I was gonna hurt and how bad addiction had became and the effects of withdrawal were going to effect me from the talks with people who had become addicted to drugs and became quite frightened and seemed as if my addiction and tolerance grew to staggering number of milligrams and pills consumed. I got to where I would do a number of 20 roxycotin 30's a day(on a good day) and anywhere to 4-8 opana 40's and 20's together. I became a wreck and couldnt even take notice of have sick I had became untuil the first time I had ever experienced a partial withdrawal of opiate. Therefore I would go out and buy the name of the medicine from other patients and became broke and lost anything I owned, loved, or the good people I knew. My life has became an overbearing journey I cannot handle anymore. I have been fighting the mind struggle of cigarettes and mainly pill addiction. Every time I am sitting around I cannot seem to get the issue off my mind and think about living in a more civil way. I seem that I have lost my way in life and the things I was in touch with foremost in my teenage years. I become quite frightened and want to turn to an easy way out and that's to get high. I've never used a needle to inject and ive helped others overcome the needle addiction and I feel from that if i can help someone of that addiction that I can help myself and defeat the agonizing thoughts that my life is going nowhere unless Im on medicine. So please anyone, do you have any advice to give a kid that wants to quit living in hell and see the light?
