What natural drugs can you take for oxycontin withdrawal?
If you are reducing dosage of Oxycontin you CANNOT cut the tablets. These are extended release tabs and if cut they will release all the oxycodone at once providing a possibly fatal overdose. Oxycontin is available (with combinations of available dosages) in almost every dose at 5 mg increments. The best way to reduce dosage or stop completely is a very slow (~5mg/dose/month) reduction. It will take several months but you will have a minimal of discomfort. The real key to being successful is to find a doctor who will really work with you and manage your meds. Trying to do it yourself, with out the right drugs in the right form and dosage is miserable and plagued with roadblocks to success. I know from experience as I too have been treated with oxycodone for a back injury for over 10 years.
