Oxycontin withdrawal

[KAF]

My husband is withdrawing from Oxycontin. He is on his 17th day. He went through the typical withdrawal symptoms the first week and is getting better everyday. However, he has these vomiting spells. Sometimes it's only once, other times, like last night, he goes on all night long. Is this normal withdrawal? He does have an extra sensitive stomach (perhaps from doing so many drugs) and vomiting isn't out of the ordinary for him. But I am concerned that maybe there is something more seriously wrong. Any feedback is welcome.

Also, I have been reading the posts about Oxy withdrawal and want to put in a few words. My husband has detoxed several times from various drugs. This last time it was oxy and it has been the hardest for him physically. The thing that is keeping him going, besides NA meetings and tremendous support from me, is EXERCISE. It has been mentioned in posts previously and I want to reinforce the idea that this can help so much! He can't wait to get home from work so that he can take a run or a bike ride and forget about his cravings and focus on something healthy and uplifting. He is feeling better about himself and has alot of hope for the future. So, anyone going through recovery, Excercise helps!

Hey Jess. Welcome to the forum. You will get so much support and advice. You should start a new post that is dedicated to you. You posted to an older post and they tend to get overlooked. At the top of the page you will see a green box that says "ask a question". Click on that. It will bring up a new page where you can post your question. You can copy and past your previous post if you want.
Could you get your boyfriend to come on here for support? Let him know this is a place of fellow addicts and he will not be judged. Most here have been in his shoes. He will get some much support. There are some wonderful people here that will bend over backwards to help him through.
Best of luck to you and your boyfriend!

My boyfriend has been using oxys for about 5 months he rufuses to get help and no one can make him get help because he is almost 21 years old, i am trying my hardest to stay close to him and to be supportive of him. He is currently with drawaling and only has been for 24 hrs. I have no clue what to do to try to get him off of these horrible pills. He has no money to go to rehab because he spent it all on oxy's, does anyone know of places that can help pay for rehab? If anyone has any advice or if anyone can help us get through this please comment me back! this struggle is horrible and i am soo scared that he is gonna die.

Go see a doctor/physician. Be completly honest. They will help you. The key to recovering... besides time and taking it day by day. ZANAX. And DO NOT abuse it. If you are honest with the dr., and tell them that you honestly want to quit the addiction and are not looking for another, ZANAX will help you sleep, help with the "loose leg", help with the hot flashes, and after 10 days or so you will start to notice a difference, after a month, you will be back to your normal state of mind. a doctors apointment to UW Physicians 9for example) with out insurance cost $150. tell them that you dont have insurance and they can generally perscrible you a generic brand for about $15 (with no insurance) TRUST ME.
