Into my third day of withdrawal symptoms from the sudden stopping of my oxycodone. Here is one report on a website citing the symptoms and the results...
Patient Betts describes her Oxycodone withdrawal as:
“…An indescribable torture that takes you to the bowels of hell and then-some. My body screamed for relief. The vomiting and diarrhea were inconsequential to how the body flails uncontrollably.”
She explains that just when she thought the withdrawal symptoms were subsiding, another wave came to wring her out and start all over again. Withdrawal from her addiction felt “like hell on earth had begun.” Her doctors, to her later dismay, only prescribed more painkillers for the symptoms and supposed ‘illness’!
My experience began with a deep pain in the pit of my stomach as I awoke on the day after taking the last of the RX. I felt listless and uncomfortable but did not really put it together with the drug withdrawal. Now into the third day of chills, headache, upset stomach, loss of appetite , all I am wondering is when will it end.
I am totally narc shy so even though I have a lesser pain pill with the norco, I am going to try to stick to the tylenol to get through the pain during physical therapy and avoid going anywhere near narcotics as long as I can.
