Is Oxycodone Dosage A Best Medicine For Detoxification?
hi, my doctor perscribed 10mg of methadone every 24 hr, just four days ago. i have since determined that i do not want to use methadone to come off off of 30mg/day of oxycodone. i would rather go through a shorter detox period than what i will have to deal with methadone. if i taper the oxycodone, i believe i will be more successful. do you believe my dr. has given me an appropriate approach to detoxing.

Hello
Mehtadone is the right drug for detox from oxycodone.
The reason being oxycodone withdrawals are very painful.
Opioid replacement therapy is the right to manage this.
Methadone is said to be less habit forming and easy to taper off.
I think you should follow your doctor's advice. This will make withdrawal easier for you.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
