Does anyone have experience with withdrawal symptoms from a reduction in dosage of oxycodone - 15mg to 10 mg with 12 hour interval frequency? I have voluntarily requested this reduction because I feel I am becoming addicted and I am suffering in various ways over the last few days. Any suggestions or help out there please?
Had back surgery and took it for two weeks. Then got nauseous etc and took a week or so to get appetite back and on track!!!
The CDC has put out a guideline that suggests no one individual should receive more than SIXTY mg. daily. weather it be OxyContin ER or oxycodone or a combination of the two.
Has anyone been affected by this yet?
My regular pain dr saw me for 5 years, and then started doing stem cell therapy and no longer seeing pain clinic patients. Must be more $$ in it for him. Was seeing 2 other pain doctors at the same… read more

I’ve been on Oxycodones & Norco’s since 2006 . My doctor asks for a urine test and ends up dropping me cold turkey for a negative test on the Norco’s. How the hell does this happen after taking the same meds for all these years ? No second chance, no sit down to ask why . Just get out of office before we call police. Does anybody see something fishy with this doctors office??? Do I need an attorney? Or let it blow ? Withdrawals will kick in soon.
My insurance recently decided I could only have a certain number of gabapentin for my nerve pain (doesn't work that well but better than nothing at all). I ended up in more pain than usual, contacted… read more

Lately it seems as though there are several people weaning off medications by their own personal choice. I'm not referring to those of you that are being forced to get off of meds. I'd be interested in hearing your results; comments. If you have been force to get off of narcotics and had good results, please share. Jean
@A MyChronicPainTeam Member neurontin helps but for some it doesn't work by itself I'm on 3600 mg a day and still need my pain meds. Which I too have been abruptly taken off of because of fear of… read more
My legs feel weak and shaky. I normally can manage to walk my dog, in morning, but since starting Targin, I feel wiped out and low energy. It is helping pain a little, but I'm just wiped out all the time. When or if will I get my energy back?
Thanks for your reply. I was told that Naloxene is used to stop any constipation without affecting the pain relief. I find Targin is suiting me as pain relief is more constant. I found that Tramadol… read more
I have not been able to fill out all my details yet because it is difficult to sit down plus my right hand has been in a cast. I have severe osteo and fibro and have had accidents. The worst damage is from the physical, mental, sexual abuse I suffered for a long time. Anyway, I was put on Fentanyl 12.4.14, and have been on it ever since. I now have Medicare and I am not able to get a pain pump. I am on other drugs for pain as well. The pain management doctor lowered my Fentanyl and… read more
I agree about being fed up with docs. But don't pay them and all hell breaks loose.
