hello, i am looking for some help to get off this crazy drug oxycotin I am at about 1 to 2 80mg pills a day for the last 2 months but i have been doing them for about 6 months i am getting scared of my tolerance that seems to keep rising, i am broke now because of this drug!!! I can tell i am getting way to deep because i cant go a day without taking this drug, i dont take them by mouth. i crush them up and snort them, I know ,not good! I am wondering if someone can tell me how long the W/D will last and what i can do to help the symptoms go buy a little easier. i have heard some over the counter stuff will helpo but i dont know what all the stuff is if someone can list some of them that would be great.I am really afraid to stop this drug but what should i do???????
yo how you doin?oxy's are somethin else an't they espically when your snortin them,dosen't take long till your body is screamin for more,i'm withdrawin off them myself right now as we speak,be prepared for severe body aches along with panic attacks,depression,fatigue,lack of appatiate,basically your going to feel like your diein but the good news is the worst of it should be over in a couple of weeks and if your smart like i have not been in the past and present you can quit this insanity and never have to go through this hell again,take hot baths and drink lots of water to flush your system out,good luck and stay strong..........vinny

The following is was posted by Rae on this board. I thought I'd post it here in case you didn't notice it. My son was given oxycontin by someone who told him it was just like vicodin. He was hooked almost instantly! He turned to heroin once his money and charge limits ran out. He also turned to writing bad checks and retail theft to support his habit, but never had a criminal record prior to drugs. He is actually a wonderful person who made a very bad choice. He still has the legal to face and had to detox in prison in "the hole" without any family contact. I cried for 4 or 5 days straight because I couldn't even find out how he was doing and the prison refused to even give him his anti-depressant. I am so happy that you have decided to get off this horrible stuff before you get to this point. I wish you all the best and wanted you to know that I'll be praying for you.
God bless!

I know some of you are interested in what to take while you are tapering or going Cold turkey. I would say 99 % of people in withdrawls use some kind of OTC medications to help ease their withdrawl symptoms. Here is a list of somethings I used. If anyone else can think of some let's list them so people coming to the board can go buy if they need to or want to. When i was tapering I was still having some withdrawl symptoms. So instead of taking another vicodin I would substitute it for something OTC and that seemed to work for me.
Comtrex Cold and Flu- All the flu like symptoms
Motrin- 800 mgs for body aches
Midol- Moodiness( Oh yeah this one is great!)
Benedryl~ For sleep
Multi-viatmins
B-12 Lozenges( that dissolve under your tongue)
Banana's/Pottasium pills~ Restless legs
These also helped me:
Drinking lots of water
Hot bathes
Soups
Exercise( when possible)
