Hi, I've just quit oxycontin 40 mg 2x a day for severe back pain.. . I was abusing them,and not for the first time. It has been a living hell. I wound up at the hospital after my husband called 911 because I took an overdose of different meds that didn't put me dowm., I tried to slash my wrist as was abusive with the cops, my husband and the paramedic as once I was to the hospital was given a shot of morphine to control the tremors, l now see my doctor on Thursday and don't know what the hell to tell him. I don't want those powerful drugs anymore. I'm still feeling like **** and it's been 5 days, how long does this take to go away? PLEASE DO NOT STOP THESE ON YOUR OWN EVEN IF THEY WERE NOT PRESCRIBED TO YOU GO TO THE HOSPITAL FOR WITHDRAWAL MANAGEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!
