Oxy Withdrawl

I Have just recently stopped taking oxycontins, how horrible the sweats the shakes, the shaking, the diarreah.  I had to take five to ten showers a day.  I went to the doctor and got clonadine and naproxen which helps a bit but I now take 2 percocets a day and i feel this is helping me taper down more comfortably....I am all alone please can someone talk to me I feel as tho I am going insane...Thank You

I wouldnt suggest taking the clonadine while you are on the percoset just because of the fact they are used to treat the withdrawl symtoms... I would save it and wait until you run out of the percs  for good..  AS for the naproxin that is just alieve, so it should be fine.. The Valium mixed with the percs and clonadine might not be a great idea, but you are the only one who can make that choice.. Agian, I would save the valium for when you are out of ALL pain meds!!  When everything is gone you will find those valium come in handy, along with the clonadine..

I can relate man.. I was taking around 500-600mg of oxycodone per day when it was bad.. I have gotten down to around 120-200 max per day since I found this site.. Plus I was hoping to go down more because I am trying to get into a Suboxone DR.. have you ever tried that for recovery?  If not then research SUBOXONE

Best of luck to you man-- YOU AREN'T ALONE

WELCOME TO THE PLACE THAT WILL HELP YOU GET OFF THIS EVIL ****!

You need to let us know the details of your addiction to really help man.. You said oxy's right? Me too that is my drug as well.  I am not clean yet, but I am tapering down until I can get to a suboxone DR that will hopefully help me get clean for good..

How many were you taking per day? How did you take them swallow, snort, shoot, crush and chew?  How long were you using, abusing?  Going back to the 2 percoset are of course going to help you feel better, but they arent really helping you get off. You should have stuck to the clonodine and naproxin.. But its too late for that, so lets see what we can do ok?
