Question 1

how can i best deal with percocet/oxy withdrawals?

Accepted Answer

Get help!!!!: The first 24-72 hours are the worst, but if you were using long-acting oxycodone (oxycontin etc) the withdrawal may be much more protracted. The success rate of people trying to self-detox is not high.  There are a variety of medications that can help, including some non-narcotic meds like Clonidine and drugs to treat the symptoms. See a doctor experienced in treating it. www.asam.org or aaap.Org.

Buprenorphine (subutex) has been shown to work better than other medications for treating withdrawal from opiates, and it can shorten the length of detox.
