Oh dear... The Oxys are way stronger than norco. I think 1 15mg oxy = 30 mg norco? You're basically going to be "chasing the dragon"...I don't recommend it. Ultimately, you need to decide if you want to quit or stay on the train. Personally, I got off, THANK GOD!
sorry for mix up.
Mine were CR ( long acting) 30mg I took them one in morning and one at nite. I nevver really didn't care for them. Yes they helped my pain great.
But it seemed to be like killng me.
Like slot of weight loss I couldn't think stright. Forgot things I had done or said 5 min. Later.
Also I thought it aged me big time
Maybe this helps now
Sorry I'm a newbie
45 days off Oxy and 10 days off hydro and I feel so much better but still have the pain to deal with.
Peace
Lesa,
I don't understand the difference between the two Oxy's you describe. I know there is Oxycontin (long acting) and the shorter acting version (3-4 hours) which is Oxycodone 15mg and 30mg. I was taking them as prescrible until recently. I have found the Oxy to be EXTREMELY addicting. The minute I take one, I wantt another. Plus they make me feel weird. I want to cut them in half and go back to Norco, and taper from the Norco which i feel I can do. It's getting off these damn Oxy's that is the problem. They are wicked. I'm so sick of this- I want out of this life. Two years is long enough. Can anybody comment ?
Hi I seen your post and kind of relate to it.
Not sure if your on Oxy CR or Oxy IR
But I was on Oxy CR 2 daily for over a year. One morning one at nite.
I was also taking hydro (norco) 10/325 6-8 daily.
I just stopped my Oxys and took the Hydro then tapered off them.
BUT I Was Not Addicted. Took them the way I was suppose to.
Your sounds different I think?
I really have no personal experience with addiction except my daughter and some other people.
Just wanted to let you know what I did
The withdrawal from the Oxy CR wash too bad. Like bad flu
I used Alot of the Thomas Recipe and lived in the bath tub. LOL
Kept hydrated and vitamins also lots of bananas still doing all thhT
I wish you all the luck!
You CAN Do It !!!
More will be dropping in with a LOT of great info.
They have more experince and they are the reason I am off all my opiates today
Wonderful place.
Peace
Lesa
