Home remedy for stopping Oxycodone

[jhollo1970]

What are some of the best home remedies for stopping Oxycodone use? I have no money for the suboxone. I have been taking 5/325  8-10 a day for around 2 years prescribed by my VA doctor and I want to quit and I have tried but the withdrawals got the best of me? Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks

I have never posted on a site such as this.  I have been struggling with this for just over 3 years now.  I am now prescribed 6 30mg Roxycodone  and 2 15mg Roxycodone a day after an auto accident ( & neck surgery) in 2008.  At one point I was getting 8 80mg Oxycotin, 240 30mg Roxycodone, 120 15mg Roxycodone & 90 10mg Valiums every month.  Since then I switched Dr.s and moved states away, but my problems obviously moved with me.  My new Dr. (at my request) reduced my meds. to 6 30mg Roxycodones, 2 15mg Roxycodone & 2 10mg valiums per day.  I am taking AT LEAST double or even triple my daily dosage.  
I am going to try the Thomas Recipe but I know I'm gonna get deathly ill & to be honest I am TERRIFIED!!!  Should I just try & stick to the recipe or should I try and ween myself down on the Roxycodones in addition to the recipe?
I am really desperate to get my life back and be able to provide for my family!!!  I truly hate this life I am living and I want to be the man and provider that God wants me to be!!!  I know this will not be easy, but the life I am living now is exhausting, as I sure most of you know.  
Ten years ago I was a 25 bag a day IV heroine user.   I went to jail, got out, got high, then went to detox.  I stayed clean and sober for 5 years and made a really good life for myself, so I know it can be done.  But, I don't have the time, means, or finances to go into detox again.  I have to be able to do this at home and still be able to function.
If anybody has ANY suggestions, ideas, or treatment formulas.....
.....PLEASE.....
.....PLEASE.....
.....PLEASE.....
                          ....let me know.  I am truly greatful for any ideas or support anyone has to offer.  Please let me know as soon as possible, thank you!!!

Sincerely,
LOST AND SUFFERING IN PA!!!

The fear of withdrawals is often worse than the actual thing.

Glad you came here, it is a great place for support and help.  Keep posting.  You will feel better in a few days.  Day 3 is usually the worst.  

Definitely call your doctor and see him tomorrow if you need.  He can give you some non addictive meds to help.  But that is your choice.

I kept telling myself...YOU HAVE the FLU!  It will be over and I will feel so much better.  My brain seemed to get that and settled down a little.  It is hard, but doable!  The Thomas Recipe (bottom of the page under Health Pages as Gnarly said will help.  I did not to the tranquilizers and had to cut back on the Ltryosine, but the rest really helped.

  Imodium, Imodium, Imodium (liquid or pills if the liquid can't be found or you can't swallow it) will help.  I took double the dosage for a few days (personal choice) and it helped so much..even with the withdrawals in general and the opiate trots which sucked.  

Hydrate and eat!  Even if it is just a little every hour or so.  You have to eat something to keep your energy up as much as possible.  

If you have Restless legs..it is hit or miss what works.  Walking seemed to help me some.  Hot bath with epsom salts..a little.  I finally had to get my doctor to refill my restless legs meds (non addictive) to get some sleep.  If nothing works,your doctor might help.  

One hour at a time is all anyone can ask.  After 2 weeks it gets a little better and I started to say, One day at a time!  Your brain will do all sorts of things to get you to take a pill.  I found if I was hungry..the cravings got worse.  I would try to eat a banana, a few grapes or a few crackers to get that under control.

Good for you.  I hope all goes well.  You have made a good start coming here....this site has helped me so much!!!  Keep posting!!!!!

Hey everybody. I need some major help here. I have an oxycodone habit of about 50 mgs a day. I know that doesn't sound like a lot compared to what a lot of people are on but the withdrawal is still unbearable for me anyway. I recently found out I am pregnant and have for the last week been trying to quit cold turkey and have been failing miserably. I feel like such a selfish, low life, piece of scum but my withdrawal symptoms are so intense I keep giving in within 24 hours. I need help so desperately does anybody have any advice on what meds a pregnant woman can take to help me through this? Again I feel like a horrible person so please only respond if you have something helpful, I honestly don't need ridiculed I already know I'm a piece of crap.
