Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been taking oxycodone for years. I have been taking just thirty mg each night for about a week now and have run out. My doc refused to treat me bc his NP was not very nice to me last time I saw her and I am moving to a different pain doc. The problem is that I don t have anybody that will help me through the withdrawal process. I am scared. I am unable to sleep well in the best ciurcumstances and Now I am reading that it is even worse when withdrawing. How bad is this going to get? I have some leftover MS Contin...what would taking that do?
Hello dear Understand your concern. Following are the withdrawl symptoms of oxycodone: Fatigue Nausea, vomiting, malaise Cold and cough Diarrhoea, sweating, muscle pain running eye Palpitation Disturbance in sleep
Gnerallly symptoms appear after 24 hours after withdrawl, as day progress severity will increase. Psychological symptoms may remain long time up to year after withdrawl.
You should consult the psychiatric for that They may give: naltrexone and clonidine Rehabilation therapy Behavioural therapy
