Weaning Off Of Oxycodone, Opana. Side Effects?
I have been on Oxycodone 240mg plus a day for the past 5 years and today my pain doc took me down to 3 a day then to 2 a day next week then to 1 a day. They said my levels were to high and they had to cut me off. What can I do, how bad am I going to feel and will I die? I have also been on Opana 20mg twice a day and he is doing the same thing with that. Subtle ween down.

Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.
Without oxycodone you are not going to die, so do not worry. Drug has to be reduced as its level is high as per your doctor.
You can continue to go for psychotherapy or counselling sessions and may consult your doctor if symptoms if any , reappear.
I hope It will help you.
Thanks.
