Dear Kate Marie, I can't tell you with words how bad I feel for the situation your new Dr. has placed you in. There are many people on here who know more about this stuff than I. For the first week you're in for a rough ride. This will tax your heart as well. You need to make the new Dr. AND his nurses understand what you've been taking and for how long, and that what he's precribed has put you into massive WD, let alone the new script isn't helping with your pain that the OXY was prescribed for. I had a GP that cut me off Fentanyl patch 75's cold turkey without explaining anything about the WD. I had taken them for only a year. Hopefully, others will respond with helpfull advice for you. Hang in there, it'll get better.
Been under dr care for surgery and have been on 40 mg oxy and 6-10mg Percocet daily for 12 yrs. want to stop. Been reducing to 1 oxy and 2-10mg perc and am feeling very tired, can't sleep at night, anxious. I have to believe it is some kind of withdrawal. I take 10mg ambien at night but lately it's not working. I want to stop everything now at once.
Be carefull stopping it all at once. I understand why you want to, but it can do much harm. Try and keep your Dr. in the loop with you decisions, thoughts and needs. Even if the Dr. isn't being helpful.
you have a 100% clear case of medical malpratice. Make sure you notify the state board of healing arts this happened to you. No doctor is allowed to withdrawal anyone without notice. You may find that same doctor in a bar totally drunk. That is about the norm. for these types of doctors.
For opiate withdrawals, if u can get Suboxone, even a few days worth, u can skip the withdrawals. Suboxone blocks the opiate drugs and gives ur brain what it thinks it needs, and so u stop withdrawing. if u can take it for about 4 days straight, then stop u will probably be over the worst part of the oxy withdrawals. if u continue with the suboxone, u will eventually be addicted to it as well, so unless u plan on being in a longterm suboxone program, stop taking them as soon as possible.. obviously, look intto it, or consult a doctor. u dont want to take oxy and suboxoone at the same time or u may go into rapid withdrawlas.
I would seriously sit down with your Dr about this, if your records show you were taking those meds for that period of time they need to taper you down. Once at a lower dose of you want to stop taking them altogether I would then talk to him about taking subutex or suboxone which u will then have to take for 2 to three years. It does help with pain and they are allot easier to get off of when your ready to jump ship. I've been clean and off pain medso since August and my body feels great, wasn't going through withdrawals but at first I would still sweat during the day and it would stop at night, prolly my anxiety more then anything. You just need to taper yourself off. If you don't want to be on suboxone only then at least tell your doc to prescribe u the subutex which doesn't have naloxone in it to help with the withdrawals until your body gets all that oxy out of your system. After that I would just Talk with your Dr and explain your hoping to try to get off those kind of meds and you were doing research on suboxone and you really want to try that route. My Dr wanted me to stay on it longer but after a year I had him lower the dose then before the second year was up I tapered myself down and then jumped ship. I recommend when you taper yourself to the point your not going to take them anymore, exercise, work outside...anything to keep you busy so I'd you do sweat you don't really pay attention. Also sweating helps get that out of your system.
