Brief Answer:
These symptoms will come to pass!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Am so sorry to hear about these symptoms that you are experiencing. For sure, stopping cold turkey from oxycodone would inevitably lead to these symptoms. The good news is that they would progressively fade out and allow you to be a lot better.

Regular moderate physical exercise, much water, healthy diet and a positive mindset can be very helpful in overcoming this. Unfortunately, you cannot be tapered off for reasons you have mentioned. We only have the above measure to help address this.

I wish you well.
