What is a good way to quit oxycontin?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Quit oxycontin: Decrease the dose and frequency of use over time. The best is to gradually get off, make changes every 1-2 weeks until you are totally off.

Switch to Bup: If you cannot taper and discontinue that way, another option is to find a physician who can help you switch to buprenorphine-naloxone (suboxone). The www.Naabt.Org site or www.Suboxone.Com can help you find a doctor.
