Hi, I'm thinking about discontuing my Oxycontins. They are 40mg twice a day, I've been taking them for about 2 months now. Do you just start taking one a day, skip a day,???? Also, i read where 5 Immodium is good for withdrawal from oxycodone (I have used this and it does work)...is it good for oxycontin as well?
Thanks for your replies. hurtn Posted on 11/07/09, 11:11 pm |

Agreed all around. It has taken me over a year to come off of all my pain medication and even with dr. supervised slow tapering I still had some withdrawal symptoms. Cold sweats, itching, irritability, anxiety, insommnia...not fun. It can take awhile, and I had a hard time being patient becuase with every reduction my pain got worse and I didn't know where '10' was going to be from month to month. It would have been much worse had i not had help...best of luck :-)
