Yes you can go cold turkey from oxy.It will not cause seizure or death.They do it in detox facilities and I did it at home after taking 150-200 mgs a day for a year.You may feel like you are dying but it will get better.
Wow, guys, thought I was the only one who wanted off. I was put on oxycodone in the hospital after they found severe ulcers in stomach, duadenum, colon, etc. cause? 8 days in hosp., given last rites! But here I am a yr and a 1/2 later. Finally went to a neurologist, following leg and ft. pain after leaving the hospital, which still lingers today. He put me on Neurontin 300mg every 8 hrs. I have been wanting to get off the Oxy's, which I found out had a street name of Blue Devils for a long time, but could not do it by myself...or so I thought. You can not go cold turkey, as it could cause seizures and possible death!...But on the neurontin, found after only two doses, and was due an oxy...that I didn't feel I needed it. Went 12 hrs w/o, then 24/ then 42/ 56/72hrs...you get the picture. Now no desire. Believe me, I wanted it but did not need it as I was not getting the strange tightening of my neck and body when I was late taking one. Speak with your Doctor about this. By the way am clean now from oxy.. Neurontin is non narcotic, non addictive. Don't know if it was ever used for detoxing. Good Luck my friends who really want to Kick it...God Bless...Deb.
They are the SAME drug, youlike the Percs better because they are fast acting and hit more quickly Oxycontin is time released percocet
see description form Wikipedia below
Percocet tablets (oxycodone with acetaminophen) are routinely prescribed for post-operative pain control. Oxycodone is also used in treatment of moderate to severe chronic pain. Both immediate-release and sustained-release oxycodone are now available (OxyNorm and OxyContin). There are no comparative trials showing that oxycodone is more effective than any other opioid.[
ct is a rough one but do-able...plan nothing for days...if i were to go back in time i would have checked into a 7 day detox.....
