Oxy WIthdrawal Help

I'm quitting Oxy's on Saturday. I've been on around 160mg a day and recently up to 200mg. I'm going to the doctors today regarding a breathing problem I've been having and am planning on asking if they can prescribe something to help the withdrawals.  I read in the Thomas Recipe that Valium's or something like that would help with the anxiety and I also read that Clonidine would help with the sweats. I wanted to see if there's anything else a doctor can prescribe that may help. I'm not interested in Subs but really want to hear other recommendations. My appointment is at 4:30 today. Anyone that can respond before 4pm will be greatly appreciated.

Don't worry about responding anymore. I'm off to the doctors now and I'm not going to go back even if I get a great response. Thanks "theeagle" for responding.

Also, would 10mg Valium be a good option/Benzo of choice? Someone else will be holding whatever pills the doctor will prescribe and giving them out to me.

I'm on Lyrica which I think helps in the same way. Correct me if I'm wrong.  Anything else?

Nuerontin (gabapentin) is thought to help with both the sweats from withdrawal and peripheral pain........  I was already taking it so I have no baseline study to quote....... It certainly didnt hurt anything............
