oxycodone- night sweats

I have never experienced any type of w/d not even night sweats. I chew 2 or 3 60mg oxycontin about 5 times a day every day. My last dose is around 7pm. I wake up at 9am feeling pefectly fine. I suppose everyone's body is different, huh?

That's because your last dose was at 7PM, that's late. It happens at night if your last dose was around morning or lunch time. Doesn't usually start happening until you've been doing it for months. Not everybody reacts the same or suffer like this.

I usually need a dose around midnight or so to prevent it. When I see my dr I'm gonna tell him I don't think my long acting is working the full 12 hours. This is oxymorphone sweats though.

OP if you have breakthrough pain Meds take some when the sweats start or even before they normally would so you can avoid this discomfort.

I have been on oxycontin since May 2010. Before that I was on hydro for about 3 years. A lot of times I will wait till noon when i go eat lunch before I take my morning dose. I don't always take it at 9am. I'm sure if I had to go 24 hours or longer I would definatly go thru w/d. But in the past 3 or 4 years I have never gone without. Don't want to either. W/d seem horrible.

Yes I agree with this. I get 5mg of pure oxycodone for my breakthrough. 4 a day is what the doc gives me.
 
pupils are pinned most of the time. its honestly not that w/d uncomfortable feeling just the wetness that gets cold. its happened just when i left the heater on. i;ve moved since posting this and i've only had it happen once which leads me to believe the wood burning furnace was burning just way too hot at night at the old house. lets close this one down please mods.
 
sounds like classic early withdrawls . be thankfull its not muscle tension . if you dont require it for pain maybe its time to think about tapering to prevent worse withdrawls or upping your dose to last you all night.
 
if sweating were the least of my worries during w/d it would be a walk in the park lmao
 
im a daily 30mg roxi user and wake up every morning around 4-6am and wake up sweating, it w/d
 
I have been taking two doses 12 hours a part of Oxycontin 80mg tabs for 4.5 yrs and have never misused them in the slightest way. Over the last 6 months I have started to sweat profusely during exercise or movement in general. Doesn't matter if I have recently dosed or not. the sweats are totally embarrassing, inconvenient and debilitating in nature. I want everyone to understand that I take the Oxy for severe post core stroke pain and without an analgesic am totally paralyzed. I would without hesitation go off the Oxy if there was an alternative that worked better and lasted longer. the Oxy I take is extended release and I am now going to be visiting a pain doctor on the 5th of April to look at alternative methods of pain control. Can anyone confirm for me that these unbelievable sweats are Oxy related? As I said previously I have been on this medication for 4 and half years and these sweats started without warning, but in conjunction with a decrease in medication effectiveness. HELP, anyone please. this is making me crazy! Please note that I take Percocet for break threw pain, but rarely use it due to sluggishness after taking it.
 
I had the same problem after being on oxycontin for a long period of time...I was blood tested and it was discovered that my testosterone levels were very low....they prescribed me a testosterone replacement regimin and the night sweats went away within two weeks and I noticed that I felt much better. even my tolerance for pain was elevated. it made a big difference in my life...
 
Hey i would try to use Suboxone, the Half life alone will help you rest through the night and then help you taper off. :) You can use a lot less suboxone than everyone says depending on how high your tolerance is and was, if you have questions we can compare. im Interested because i had the same problem and i found ways to fix that and I like to share them.
 
My problem is not one of abuse, it is one of tolerance. I'm looking at alternatives to Oxycontin for pain control because without an analgesic of some sort I am totally unable to function. I'm not looking to get off of meds, because frankly without them life itself would be come not worth living. I'm not looking to become a bed ridden burden on my family and would prefer a bullet in the mouth before it came to that. My problem right now is what can I try/do to settle the sweats down or preferably eliminate them. Somebody has mentioned the drug EXALGO and I've confirmed it's efficacy with my pharmacist. She said talk to my Doctor tomorrow and see if I could take it as an alternative to Oxycontin.
 
been doing about 80mg of oxys last 3days in a row.

every night i go to sleep about 1hr 2hr into it i would get night sweats. (its close to winter here our over night temps have been under 10c)

this is like the first week i've used oxy 3days in a row.

usually i probably do a cwe of codiene(600mg) once or twice a week.
but this week i've gotten hold of some oxys so been binging on them.

do u guys think it is def wd symptoms???

Do you ever get anxiety attacks or do you suffer from any sort of anxiety because this could cause night sweats as well.

Ask your doctor if he could switch you to Levorphanol, its a great opiates thats euphoric & last a long time.

You could also ask for Lyrica.
 
How do you know that w/d isn't the issue? I think that its from coming down off the oxycodone. Its the only thing that makes sense.

yeah sounds like w/d's too me man. Maybe you aren't taking enough at night time to last threw the night and you start to withdrawal?? But if they was the case then you would have to have a massive tolerance and habit because withdrawals shouldn't start appearing until AT LEAST 15-24hrs after last dose... So maybe you just are under too many covers and get too hot at night, try sleeping with a cooler blanket and turn ur fan on..
 
i do the night sweats as well, i am scripted opana and roxi.. the wierd thing for me is that the sweats dont happen when its wearing off.. I start sweating like a damn pig about 1hr after each dose.
