Sick And Tired Of Being Sick And Tiredomeko

Updated

Because of major medical screw ups with hip replacements I have been on oxycontin oxycodone for 8 years plus now taking over 400mgs a day I would like to get off of it but it seems impossible, I actually believe pain from hips may be bearable but when lessening the meds the joint pain , bone pain is beyond belief and so constant just think about how bad you feel so you go back to the pill for relief and this sucks other than the wasman method (spelling incorrect) or a rehab does anyone have suggestions on how to get off without so much pain? Thank you for replies

I do understand what you are talking about, a few years ago, I stopped major doses of Oxycodone and Morphine cold turkey and the pain was unbelievable for about a month. A sudden withdrawal will cause rebound effects, along with the usual withdrawal symptoms.

The only way to do it and make it easier on yourself is to very slowly taper the medication, by gradually lowering the dosage.

You would need your doctors cooperation for this, since the Oxycontin tablets are time released and can't be cut or divided to alter the dosage. You would need your doctor to prescribe lower dosages or to prescribe it in a different formulation, so you can cut or divide them, such as the regular release tablets.

Are there any other questions?
