Can you get off oxycontin by taking oxycodone?

No! they are basically the same.

As far as i can tell...you would never know the diff between oxycontin withdrawals or oxycodone withdrawals...

There are alot of ways to make it a little less sucky.There is no easy way out....Trust me i've been trying to find it.

I just started Subutex it has helped me stop counting pills and has brought me back to reality. I know it has its draw backs too , but it is way better then what i was doing...

Good Luck

They are exactly the same thing....oxyCONTIN is a CONTINuos release form of oxycodone. The other is the same drug (oxycodone) but in an immediate release formulary.......same thing .... one is time release and one is immediate release.

If you are trying to break an addiction to Oxycontin then Oxycodone may be a way to taper ---  I used Oxycodone (Percocet) to taper off of high doses of Oxycontin until I got down to about half my former dose - then went to Suboxone.   Sub took away the W/D's in a matter of minutes the first time I took it.   It is deceitful though and can be very addictive itself.   Best of luck to you as you try to break free from this demonic drug.  Lots of help here - keep posting.

i can definately see where substituting percs for OC for a few days/weeks whatever u see fit, could help, before weening off or quitting those CT.

u can do it !
