What Can Be Done To Relieve Pain When Detoxing From Oxycodon?
my girl friend is detoxing by herself from oxycodon and I do not know what to do. Is there anything I can do to help relieve her pain? should I stay at her apt. for the next few days? i know she wants to be alone but i want to make sure she eats and has enough fluids. What do you think?

Hi,
It will be certainly be good if you can stay with her and take care of her during this period. This will also give her strength to continue with the detoxification. But please keep in mind that people usually become very irritable during withdrawal. She needs to take lots of fluids. Over the counter analgesics like Tylenol can be taken for pain. She will be much better in eight to ten days if she remains abstinent.
Hope this is of help. Best wishes.
