Would 10mg. methodone pills be effective for releaving withdraw from Oxycontin? I've been using 1.5 80mg pills daily for about 4 weeks or so. The only thing is I can only get about 15 pills. Would that even be worth it?
 
DUde i came off oxy like that...A 4 week habit i believe i could kick cold turkey though maybe with a few vicodin every day steadily decreasing in milligrams every day.. but since you have the methodone take 1 eveery 12 hours and u will not hurt or have any dts towards the end of your supply or after about 4 days try only one a day then only a half a day... at the end of the pills you will be ok... Just don't get back on the oxy's after you have dt'd cause whats the point of dt'ing yourself over and over again if you are just gonna start back up?
 
Phreexs faq on withdrawal is superb,but for some people including me,taking loperamide (immodium),benzos etc still didnt do the trick.
I dont wanna rain on your parade phreex,but the last detox i did in hospital,i was on about 16 different medications and still suffered extremely.
I think youre guide is excellant for mild to medium withdrawals.
 
i wouldn't go the route of taking METHADONE to relieve OC withdrawal..if possible, if i was in your shoes, i would get a weaker OPIATE like VICODEN or even some DARVOCET, and take a few tablets/day to kill the withdrawal..the METh route just seems like a bad idea..
the EXHAUSTION from OC withdrawal is a bitch..
good luck kicking the habit...from most that i know who have kicked the OC habit, they had to go to the hospital, as the withdrawal was just too bad!!they had BENZOs, but still couldnt stand the pain...
i have read that the amino acid L-TYROSINE and shitloads of B vitamins helps alot with the tiredness and body aches that accompanies withdrawal...may want to give it a try??
 
I definately agree that methadone is not the best thing. I tried it, and it made me feel worse by far than oxy. In my situation, I just tried to stock up on things like oxycodone (not contin because it was way too tempting to just slam it), and maybe hydrocodone for towards the end. Its a hard road, I know. Benzos help a great deal to take the edge off. I guess you could try to stop cold turkey, but that route has never really worked for me, its too hard to just say no when you're sick as fuck.

Yeah, swiching from one opiate to another to quit is just aksing for trouble. Just get off tht OC co turkey. It'll hur for little while, but the end resuldd are worth the pain.
