How to withdraw at home from Oxycodone

[liveagain66]

I want to quit taking  oxycodone sick of being on it! I had neck surgery three months ago before that I was on Morphine xr 60 mg and oxycodone 20mg and soma I now quit taking the Morphine regulary I only use it now if it's my last resort. I am taking about 25 milligrams a day of Oxycodone and want to get off of it without using Seboxin or Methadone. I don't want to trade one drug for another! help please give some advice. Herbs? food? dosage to cut down? My doctor said a half a millagram a week? Doesn't seem right.

My post posted before i was finished lol keep is posted on how ur doing. Stay hydrates! Try to keep ur body fueled with nutrition, if u cant stomach any foood or have a hars time keeping anything down, try ginger ale and soups. Have a vitamin supplement handy like a multivitamin,B12, vit c and an herbal aupplements of valerian to help u sleep and helps with the restless leg. Also keep ur hands on some 5htp ( herbal supplement) and some st. Johns wort. Will help keep ur mond in a healthy state. We all that have gone thru kno how nuch our mind can playbtricks on us and begin to think unpleasant aome people have een claimed to get suicidal thoughts. Regardless all these things will help u tremendously! Hoth baths are great.  I peronally am on day 4 of detoxing from oxys.... I couldnt take the WD symptoms i ended up having to get on suboxone and man!! It worked like a miracle. I bounced back  almost immediay. Everyone is different but keep us posted on how u are doin :)  YOU CAN DO THIS!!! And we are gonna be here along side you my friend!!

Physically its very hard to do but it is possible. My husband and i were taking aprox 180 mg a day pf oxycodone for the past year and even startes dping heroin when were were out of meds. Sickenening i know. Vicki pointed out several excellent ways to get ur joirney pf being clean from it. If u begin to get violent or really bad withdrawls from it, cause gettin off of subs is easier to do than getting off of oxys. Keep up posted

Hi there!   You can surely do this and we'll help you along. It's a fairly low dose and you haven't been on it very long so just set your mind to it and stop!

If you want to taper, which works very nicely, dropping by small amounts over time is the best way, as your doctor suggested.  I think tapering is a lot less unpleasant and does not shock your body as abruptly stopping the drug.

During the process, drink extra fluid, treat symptoms as they appear like muscle aches/twitching and diarrhea, and take hot baths with Epsom salt. Be sure to take your vitamins with extra B and magnesium/potassium.
