Question: I AM USING 30 GRAMS OF OXYCOTON HOW BAD IAM I TO DETOX
Brief Answer:
First, you mean MILLIGRAM
Detailed Answer:
and second, it depends on how often per day (I assume about 4-5 times a day of 30 milligram or... roughly 120 mg).
Not so bad.
First, realize that detox/withdrawal is not fatal. May be uncomfortable.
Second, this is about average and not a huge dosage.
Third, the symptoms peak at about day 3-5 and trail off by about day 7-9. These consist of feeling bad, sweats, shakes, diarrhea, vomiting. A significant amount of it can be damped down by administering clonidine and anti-emetics.
Fourth, it isn't nearly enough. Someone coming off of narcotics benefits by a number of other modalities such as 12 step programs, counseling, coordination with family, medicines to block relapse and More !
