Home remedy for stopping Oxycodone

What are some of the best home remedies for stopping Oxycodone use? I have no money for the suboxone. I have been taking 5/325  8-10 a day for around 2 years prescribed by my VA doctor and I want to quit and I have tried but the withdrawals got the best of me? Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

To tell you the truth there is really nothing that will help. Maybe somethings but not all the way. For your head tho you can use zytec i dont know how to spell it rite but thats what i used and it helped. What i really wanna ask you tho is do you have insurance or no? Cause if you dont have insurance i can give you a number of a place and its for anyone its called the suboxone program or something like that but they will send you to a doctor and you can get on suboxone for a year free i think you only have to pay for your doctors visits and thats it i do know you get the script for free and dont have to pay nothing but let me know and ill get that number for you and explain how it works its real easy. Best of luck

Tweet, your story speaks to me. I walked those same journeys. You feel like you can't function, which makes you feel horrible because the children and canines need you. I am going to be blatantly honest with you. My experience is I went from using percocets for my back at work. I thought they were so great until I got my hands on Oxycodone. For a little brain food, oxycontin is like aspirin compared to oxycodone. I took them everyday for three years, rather I hurted or not. Because I had a brain fart instead of figuring that I was recreationally using. And self medicating. Well, reality slapped me. I woke up and realized I was an addict. I was neglecting important wonderful things in my life. I know you see all these sites that engulf ones mind into thinking cold turkey is impossible. I am living proof its not. Truth be told, yes the first five days will seem like kissing the devil. Physical pain, nausea, diarhhea, rhinorhhea, (runny nose) tremors, insomnia. Restless legs. Headaches. Depends on yourself individually. Through those days I used my mother duties to see me through, I often begged God to spare me, but in the end decided I had to spare myself. Just as I took the pills myself. For me, I used the Immodium, a banana here and there. A very small stiff drink to calm the edge. Bananas work miracles. Make sure they're firm. Ginger ale and nyquil tabs for aches and mucus. And to be honest a puff of mary jane at night did wonders. After the physical trial, the mental and emotional trial is the killer. You'll think about the high, time seems to move very slowly. And some symptoms will not get right until your body has completely shed the drug. This is my third week clean. I went through urine retention and respiratory distress as well. Now, most of that is gone. I still have horrible BMs. They stink badly and are often watery. When you drop the bomb and it burns your nose and eyes just think how you're expelling POISON that's better left in the toilet than your body. For sleep, I used a little chronic and xanax. And that's how I made it cold turkey. Literally a puff or two will stabilize you immensely. This was my journey alone. And I just wish to give hope to others who had a similar plight. I've just gained an appetite. And I get suddenly drained at any given time. But I'm alive and here. You will be too. I'm a parent. So I would like to share this last tidbit with you. I have six year old twins, even they knew something was wrong with mommy. Which makes you feel worse. If you have family to take them for at least four days do it! Also, you would be surprised how much motivation you'll get from confiding in the right person, face to face. Not for pity. For support. I don't know you but I support you sincerely. You will beat it if you so shall desire. Best wishes.
