Hi all.
I recently fractured to vertebrae and am on a course of oxynorm and OxyContin, I have some questions about the withdrawal. Now I will state first that 15 years ago I was addicted to smoking heroin. Now have a completely different life and the more I read into these drugs the more concerned I am going down a road I never want to set foot on again. I also have a problem with 'chasing the buzz' but have limited that to canabis and alcohol every now and then to for fill the buzz chase, if u will
At the moment I am managing to stay away from chasing the buzz of these pills and was on 40mg OxyContin a day and 40mg oxynorm. From what I read this is not much and I have been using them for 4 weeks so far. Now yesterday I cut out 10mg of the oxynorm, on today the second day I am really feeling it in the legs and reminding me of the cluck years ago, it is also causing me much pain with the back. So I suppose my questions are:
1) are these drugs really that harsh?
2) am I starting to cut down to early?
3) has anyone had experiences similar or at least to stopping the Oxy's because of injury and or any plans of how best to tackle it, to take one out first or cut out bit of both?
any help or ideas would be great, not sure if the doc properly gets it
