Has anyone heard of roxicodone?
I am addicted to oxycontin and use between 360-400 mg a day, I want more than anything to get my life back. I want to switch to roxicodone in order to tapper of oxys slowly, yet I am not sure if i can do roxi's the same way I do oxys. " I do not swallow or chew them" if anyone has ever done roxicodone the same way i do oxys please reply.
Hi, I recenlty went to detox in Dec. for the used of Oxycotins. My doctor was perscribing me 9o 80 mg. pills per month. I was taking up to 5 a day. I feel your pain. Have to tried any detox or rehab? I tried to stop myself when I became pregnant but I cannot describe to you what I went to. I felt like I was going to die. I ended up getting an abortion because I needed the drugs so bad. The sad thing is, I was never supposed to have children. It is really hard to stay clean but I am happy to say that I am preg. again and try every day to make the right decisions for my baby. Good luck
Melinda,
Welcome to the Board! Just wanted to say hello!!! I am so sorry what you went through. I hope you are doing better.
Oxy User,
You are in the same boat as I was. Go to your Dr. and taper. I chose to get off Oxycontin and the Dr. has me on 4 Norcos per day, they only take the pain away enough for me to manage it, but I don't have a problem taking more than prescribed. I had withdrawals, but am still receiving treatments from a car accident. I believe Roxicodone, is alot like Oxycontin, maybe switch to taper down to a dose where you can eventually lower to a dose that can manage your pain without the high&side effects. Better yet you maybe able to come off the medication completely. I had a terrible time tapering off Oxycontin, got down to 160mg and went cold turkey. But within a few days, felt like a different person. It was worth any of the side effects I had. I wish you luck and I know how you feel, it's just existing being on that dose and medication. You can get your life back!!!!! Keep posting and welcome to the board. Take care, Best Wishes

hey also just getting off o.c s alot of mgs per day.I have also done roxicodne.If you want to talk about it I do have some knowlage of this roxicodone.let me know if you want the info?
dont consider asking your current doc for help tapering. get into detox now and suck it up. it sucks, but its the only solution. dont look to switch ie. cross addiction, as i did got off 500mg oxy a day to 5 bags of heroin a day. get clean now through not using anything, its the only way
asking a doctor is the best way to go.
good luck

you can stop using and abusing. it can be done. it is hard work and takes a lot of determination but it is worth it in the long run. it has been five weeks that i haven't used and i feel better than ever. it is a constant mind battle for me to not use ever again. i hated detoxing but got through it. i did it at home myself with the support of my husband. i had to be honest with my family, my friends and all of my dr.'s. i don't have any pills around and can never since i am an addict. please stick with it because abusing pills takes over every waking moment and takes your life away. it literally can!
Thanks,
Your words mean alot more than I can say.
