Need Help - Crying Won't Stop From Oxycodone Withdrawal (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

I am scripted oxycodone 5mg 3x day, but for the past 2 months I started taking 80-90mg a day. Last Sunday I decided I needed to stop and taper so I had to drop from 90mg to 10mg a day. It has been 6 days. I can't stop crying. I am hopeless. I don't know if I should just stop the 10mgs or if I should keep tapering down. I don't know why I started taking so much, but I do need it for pain and I do have someone that can monitor the administration of it to me. My question is...when will this end? The crying, depression, vomiting, diarrhea, hopelessness. Do I keep taking the 10mg and taper down to 5mg or am I going to continue to go through this mental and physical hell. Please help. I am on an antidepressant and a very low dosage of clonazepam .25mg at bedtime but just feel absolutely like I will never feel normal or hopeful again. I only was taking the 80-90mgs for 2 months, but when will this end? I'm on day 6 of just 10mgs and if I don't take the 10mg today, do I start the withdrawal process all over again?

Please go to the head shop and buy a bottle of Kratom... You will likely need either red md, red maeng da, red Bali... Go get Imodium it works as an opiate in the stomach. You will also need some crackers and if your stomach can handle it you need a potentiator such as grapefruit juice and not the sugary crap but as 100% as possible. Reply to me and I will help you find a trusted and caring vendor along with a ton of answers and help. Please do not buy Kratom from Google sites, most of the reviews we read on Google, Amazon etc... Are actually posted by employees to increase sales, they even go so far as to throw in some negative reviews so to fool us into thinking they are legit. What you are doing is dangerous. The head shop (smoke shop) kratom will work for now. Once you feel well enough you are welcome to reach out to me (I do not sell Kratom) for advice. I promise people have withdrawn from much more and all different types of opiate and done it with ease...

Have you ever came off of suboxone? It's worse than real opiates. It put me in such a low that every day id wake up hoping to feel something and it wasn't there. I had no feelings after a while just emotionless. Also incapable of feeling any sort of joy.

Hi lost in taper! I know alot about meds because I've tried them all. It sounds like to me you grew a tolerance to your oxyc. and should positively tell your Dr that and you can call them tomorrow and ask if you can up your dosage and have them get back to you to soon as possible. But if they say no to up your dosage and you still need to taper down. Well your in luck. Your going to have to up you klonipin untill you start to feel comfortable. When your done tapering slow down the klonipin. I only know this because I did it with other narcotics. I hope this helps.

Sorry TimTim or PJ or whoever you are? Sorry for you that is! I understand the truth hurts when you are addicted and sometimes it is best to hit the problem head on. Call me all the names in the book, I'm just like that parent and child, where the child is screaming I HATE YOU DAD!! Sugar coat it all you want and that's how people wind up dead. Have a great day and I'm not returning to this post so say what you will.....

Madman, you may not understand her problem as I do as someone who can relate from experiencing the difficulty of coming off a drug that you became addicted to regardless of how it happens. If all you have to offer is obnoxious criticism for someone who made a mistake as many people do who became addicted then you may not have the problem of addiction but you do have the problem of being an insensitive, obnoxious, ****ing ****. So madman you're actually probably worse off than she is because addiction can be cured, being a ****ing **** is usually a lifelong problem.

This is for you PJ....I have been in severe pain for 25 years!! I have had 3 levels of my neck fused, 4 levels in my back fused, 2 tumors and thyroid removed from my neck, kidney cancer and was hooked on Oxycontin for 5 years. So, I am highly qualified PJ and I stick to comment since you have the reading comprehension of an 8th grader. You DO NOT take 6X the prescribed dosage of pain pills and expect to live a long prosperous life!!

This is for madman you obviously do not have chronic pain and until you do you need to keep your comments to yourself. As fir the lady with the problem. Uf i were you i would see if i could change meds if the oxys are not helping i am in the boat with you the amount of medicine i get doesn't stop me from hurting i have learned to deal with it. It will get some better but do talk to your doctor about upping you or something different. Good Luck and Best Wishes!!!

You need professional help. First of all, you started taking 6X the prescribed dosage and you wonder whats going on. Severe withdrawls is the problem. I really hope you went to seek help otherwise you're probably dead by now.....

The problem is you dropped to fast. You should have gone down 10 mg a week. Or go to the nearest Methodist clinic and either get on methadone or suboxine.
If you continue withdrawing expect about another week of the same symptoms
however some people are fine in a matter if days and since you are withdrawing so hard you may be one who will take a little longer.
Also I heard kratom is a good way to manage pain.

Hi Taper!
I agree with the folks here who said your taper is too fast. If you have the quantity, slow it way down. It seemed like you might be at 10 already?

One thing though: do not try the suboxone route. It is merely trading one addiction for another, and, suboxone is a nightmare to get off of, way way harder than Oxy. Like 6 months of feeling awful, not 3-5 days.

Yes so nobody said it would be easy getting off this stuff, but you can do it! I would slow your taper down, I would order some kratom... maybe get some xanax if you can... and then try to relax. It will get better. You are on the right path! Good luck!

Assuming you have the quantity, reduce by 10mg every 3 days, you tapered too fast, way too fast. Also, talk to a Dr. and get some Clonidine (BP Med), which will help with W/D, and a benzodiazepine, such as Klonopin or Xanax to assist with sleep.

You are coming down too fast. You want to take one pill away every 4 days, no rush.

Kratom can be extremely helpful in dealing with withdrawals. Easily bought online and legal. Try Kratom one. Best of luck!

The last reply was ok but I been too 17 detox places when it's a waste. You have to stop on ur own no can force u and tapering is b.s. I went from massive amounts to zero immediately tapering prolongs the process subs help big time I'm now on 8mg of subs and off 800 to 1000mcgs a day 30 days clean and I still can't feel my skin or half my body still have sweats can't sleep or eat much cravings come and pass all I recommend is stop cold no taper just prolongs especially if ur abusing like me

Gabapenten. ..AKA nurontin did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for me and many that I have talked to. .I'm glad that it may have helped you, but I have never heard of anyone that used it successfully for opiate withdrawal. .
