My daughter's fiance quit his lucrative job last week to kick his oxy addiction. His coworkers had problems also and he felt he needed to get away from the environment. It's been a shock to everyone that he was taking 5 pills a day. He's been having withdrawal symptoms and has an appt. with a therapist in two weeks. In the meantime his primary care Dr. put him on Zoloft for depression. Unfortunately, (my daughter who is being very supportive,) saw a text msg on his cell phone from the oxy dealer asking if "the Vics helped" Seems his oxy dealer is being supportive also, but his support is coming in the form of Vicadin and Xanac. Any suggestions on how to help?
Lord, that is sad that his so called friend is offering him Vicodin.. He has got to cut all ties with that moron.
Okay, Oxy withdrawal is not a walk in the park. He should go back to his doctor or get in with an addiction specialist fast. They can give him some meds to make his detox a little smoother. In the mean time, he should drink tons of water, take hot baths and take Immodium AD and Tylenol or Advil.
Hopefully others will come along soon with better advice and he really needs to be careful coming off of Xanax cold turkey. This is very dangerous and he could have a seizure trying to do this by himself.
