What Causes Absence Of Withdrwal Side Effects Of Oxycodone?
Question: Hi I have been on oxycodone for over 2years,around 350mg a day. I quit 7 days ago (cold Turkey) and have not had a single episode. I am an engineer and came up with some vitamins I thought my help to take away some effects. I have had no effects,no stomach issues or pain sleep like a baby.

Brief Answer:
An uncommon occurrence.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic!
I find it extremely intriguing that you have had no withdrawal symptoms over the last week. I agree that you should have been in a lot of pain and discomfort, given that you had been taking oxycodone for two years. I have not come across any such case previously.
I am curious to know what vitamin supplements you have been taking and when did you start them. Please also let me know if you recall having any dilation of pupils, increased yawning, goose flesh, sneezing, diarrhea etc after quitting. These are opioid withdrawal symptoms as well, but often are missed as aches and pains are more discomfiting.
Best wishes.

Sorry but I did not get an answer? I was asked what vitamins I take. This is something that is so un-usual and would require a DR…in chemistry or a top neurologist. From my research there has never been a case like mine and yes I took these vitamins before my last dose of Oxycodone and have taken them every day, if that is the reason for NO WITHDRAWALS what so ever….did I just get lucky and guess what to take? (I have had withdrawal’s before off Vicodin 10\325 10 a day for over a year) took me a month just to start feeling better! So yes I know what they feel like! And the only system I seem to have is watery eyes…….someone should call me, If I have figured out a way to stop WD by combining several different vitamins…..i stand to be a very rich man!
Over 8 days and nothing but a little fatigue and watery eyes

Brief Answer:
As below.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It is not that you are not having any withdrawal. The fatigue and watering from eyes is a sign of withdrawal. What you are having is a very mild withdrawal syndrome. It is highly unusual if you were taking 350 mg of oxycodone every day for two years and stopped abruptly and are not taking any other opioids. I assume the vitamins you are taking are vitamins only and do not contain any opioids.
I have not come across any such case previously either in my own practice or in scientific literature.
Best wishes.
