I decided to do it. Cold turkey--no more oxycodone. At 4pm EST today I will have 1 full oxy-free day. My last daily dose was on Sat. 20/g total for the day. Please everyone just tell me its gonna be ok that i wont have a seizure, etc. Its 12pm EST and i just took 1mg xanax cause I have anxiety, cold sweat, chills. Is it gonna get worse? Maybe I Stepped off too soon. please somebody help

of course tapering is a better way but imodium helps and benedryl too. I think Kratom helps too. Maybe you should be more prepared to do this but oxy is a shorty as far as withdrawl xanax is 5 times at least longer. The next four days will suck but then slowly it will get better. If you did have reason for the drug your pain is gonna get really bad before better and Hot baths and showers really help. Good Luck!

i did taper down to 20 mgs but im over the long goodbye scenario and just want it to end. i just hope i dont have a seizure or something

I detoxed off from it one time, and yes it can be done. But you need something for diarhea, and maybe some tylonel, and if you keep taking the xanax I don't think thier is no way you will have a seizure. I pray for you, and hope all is well. How are you feeling now? And how much oxy was you taking per day? Just try and maintain a shower and good hygien, that really helps, and drink a ton of Gatorade even if your not thirsty, it will keep you from getting dehydrated. And like the other post, in a couple days it will get better but day 1 is adjusting, day 2 is hell, day 3 is hell, day 4 your thinking about going back on them and day 5 you start to feel better. Remember after 4 days you have no oxycodone in your system. So keep up the good work. I remember how good it felt to be off the pain meds, but I just had to much pain to continue, and I was taking 25 to 30 tylenol a day eating my liver up. So God bless you man, keep us posted PLEASE! Because I got me some Kratom, and I just can't take all this pain med maddness anymore so I will probally be right behind you in a few weeks. So please hang in there and keep us posted!!!!

i tapered down from30-45 mgs/day just three little pills but man are they strong to 20 mg and just decided im jumping off the crazy merry go round and quitting cold turkey thats it, no more. feel like hell right now and i'm scared of tomorrow

Hi Roxanne..I pray that you have slept well and that you will read this and find you well today.

Oxycodone leaves your system rather quickly. I know from the PM's we have exchanged you have a sincere desire to quit oxycodone. Please if you have any doubts whatsoever, contact your doctor.

It can be done, I have done it once, not bad..just know that there will be some discomfort but its not that bad.

You won't have seizures from coming off pain meds.

PM anytime, k? I am thinking of you.

Hey Kat and everybody---thanks for your kind words of hope n reassurance. Today at 4pm Eastern standard time I will have 48 hours--2 full days w/out oxycodone. Sleep was rather patchy last night. took benedryl and more benedryl. I had ghastly mental torment yesyerday but when i woke up this morning i said to my boyfrien honey i think im gonna make it! this board and all you kind understanding people have been a lifesaver for me.

Your the hero, Roxanne, for doing what you think is right for you and doing it. I think you will make it too, whatever you set your mind to do. Good luck to you and let us know how you are.
