3 Years on Hydrocodone or Oxycodone

by Gary794, Oct 17, 2009 08:50PM
I have been on Hydrocodone or Oxycodone for about 3 years since I was in an accident.  I am at a point that the these medicine do not help me any more. I started 3 days ago and went cold turkey. All the medicine does is make me dizzy, tired and exhausted.  I am find myself so tired and exhausted that I am sleeping all the time. Is that normal to sleep all the time when you go cold turkey on pain medicine.  I am finding I am very depressed now.    The first 2 days was not bad, but it is starting to get bad now.  Can anyone test me what it is going to be like the next few days and weeks?  Will it get worst or start to slowly get better?  

I have had constant chronic headaches for about 2 years.  Could the Hydrocodone or Oxycodone be giving me the constant chronic headaches.

Any suggestion, opinion or advise would be deeply appreciated.

It will get better slowly. Sleeping is common the first couple days.
WE have an excellent SA community here. I am NOT implying you have a problem it is just that they can help you wit the w/d much better.
Yes you can have rebound headaches from these medications.
Your welcome here also of course but check with the members in the SA community too.
Many of them have been thru this and know what to tell you to help.
