I was on percoset and oxycontin after my surgery and just quit taken meds! MISTAKE had withdrawals bad. Went into the Dr and what they did was put me on a gradual reduction for a period of weeks. I never will just quit a med like that ever again!
Yes of course the substance forum but I'd like to tell you right now, suboxone, the new treatment can be worse than the percocets. Check over there and you'll find out as well as some alternitive things to help

Hi Alwayssumthin,
Welcome to the Pain Management Forum of MedHelp. I am glad you found us.
Yes there are medications that can ease the withdrawal form narcotics. One of them is Subutex, Generic mane is Buprenorphine. It can be prescribed by your physician. Of course there are others.
You may be able to obtain more information in our Substance Addiction Forum. They are very helpful and knowledgeable. I wish you the best of luck. Please let us know how you are doing and as always, Take Care, Tuck
