Hey Philip373:

Check out the substance abuse forum. There's LOTS of oxycodone withdrawal support there. You are going to feel like crap for a few days, but you will glad in the long run. I am over 3 months off oxycodone myself and feel better now than I have a several years. My OXY HELL RIDE lasted 2 years.

Hi Phil! Welcome to SR I'm fairly new here myself and I am on day 5 w/d's from those evil oxy's and hydros. Keep coming back, post, post, post! It has helped me keep my damn sanity when I feel like crawling into a hole. You CAN do this and YOU are worth this. We all deserve a life free from addiction. (()) Good luck and I'll be over here rootin for ya!

Hi Philip

I have no experience with oxy, but I know you'll find a lot of support here.
Are you seeing a Doctor in all of this?

Welcome aboard

The substance abuse forum people have mentioned is here:
Substance Abuse - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Hello Everyone,
Thanks for the support! You all have helped tremendously! Dee74, I am seeing a doctor! He gave me clonidine0.1 mg by mouth twice a day, ambien for sleep, phenegran suppositories for nausea, and Librium if my nerves get to bad! But I believe hearing from you guys will help just as much! Thanks again
Philip

Hi Phillip

I've had anxiety attacks but never for hours on end.
If you're already under a doctors care, I'd really check with them about this to get the best answers

Hang in there you can do this.
Glad to know you are under a doctor care. Why not try one of those Librium pills, they should help for the panic. B kind to yourself, get enough rest and eat properly.
Pamper yourself, take hot bibble baths, open a book or watch a new video from a rental center. Keep us all posted.

So sorry things are bad right now...... I hope it turns around soon.

Can you call someone just to be with you? Have you talked to the doctor today? Maybe he can up your dosage or add something....(?) If it gets too hard to deal with, there's always the ER.

I'm just not familiar with oxy withdrawals - it sounds like you're having a ton of anxiety. Try the deep slow breathing....... and sometimes calm music helps, too.

Hang in there............

((phil)) I'm sorry you are having such a hard time. I know exactly what you are going thru, exactly. I had so much anxiety that it was almost overwhelming. All I could do was occupy myself, spending a lot of time on here and listen to music non stop. I know it feels like you are losing your mind, but you are almost there!! You've gotten this far, you can go all the way!! Make sure you stay hydrated, although I know it's hard. I wish i had more advice but hang in there, the worst is almost done! Is there anyone you can call??
