Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
hello I have been buying roxycodone for a couple of years because it helps me stay awake and et my stuff done throughout the day. but now I feel like I have to have one just to get my day going or get my stuff done. I think I am dependent on them and I don t want to go to the dr. because I have a 2 year old and the last thing I want to do is go to rehab because I don t want to put my family through that. what should I do???
Detoxification is completed with the tapering method. Stopping this drug quickly can result in withdrawal and side effects that make it difficult to quit completely. Because a dependency is physical and psychological in nature, taking away the drug can be detrimental to the body when not tapered correctly.
Roxicodone abuse treatment is completed by tapering the drug over time. A taper is very effective in removing the medication from the patient’s body with little to no withdrawal during or following treatment when completed correctly. A taper must be followed to work correctly, but not all tapering methods are perfect for everyone. During a normal taper, the drug is stepped down over a period of days or weeks, from a whole dose to half, and even less, until the patient does not have side effects. The amount your doctor reduces your medication will depend on the amount you currently take and your body’s reaction to the reduced dose
In addition to stopping the drug, psychological help is available for those who need additional help staying off of Roxicodone. I suggest you to take medical care than trying individually to quit. i wish you good luck nd health.
