Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes High Energy Level And Restlessness While Withdrawing From Oxycodone?
My husband is being treated for a tumor on his spine and has been taking 8 mg of oxycodone every 3 hours with 1 500 mg Tylenol, plus time-released morphine 3 x day. His radiation treatments have finished and he is anxious to stop his pain meds. He has reduced the oxycodone to 4 mg every 3 hours and we are getting ready to move him to 4 mg every 4 hours. He is saying he is restless and full of energy. Is this a side effect of withdrawal? He wants to stop the oxycodone soon, if possible. Thanks.
