Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to health care magic!
I have read your query carefully and that you are having problem getting off from oxycodone. You are right to think that you are having withdrawal ...because you are having opioid withdrawal.
All symptoms -like of running nose, pain legs or cramps in calf muscles, loose motions, irritability or weakness or sleeping problem due to anxiety like state are due to withdrawal of oxycodone and the other medicine you were given.
You have been on a low dosage and that too for post operative pain management but it looks like you are sensitive to them.
There is nothing to worry about. It will get ok within a week or 10 days of stopping everything.
When I have a opioid withdrawal case of similar dosage then
1.I would also reccomend him to stop all of it in a go and just take sleeping pills for some days.
2. Taking adequate liquids or some good electrolyte powder will be helpful.
3. For pain I suggest simple pain killers two to three times a day which can be reduced gradually and stopped over a week time.
4. Taking sleeping pill like xanax with this is ok for sometime. No harm done.
You should not worry about withdrawal symptoms as they are part and parcel of normal opioid withdrawal and stop on their own.
I hope I have replied to your queries.
please ask follow up questions for further clarifications.I would try to help you .
Wish you good health.
