What Is The Prognosis For Precipitated Withdrawal Of Oxycodone And Subutex?

a doctor gave me oxycodone and subutex together to treat pain because he did not know subutex could not be taken with oxycodone because he was an idiot.. it threw me into precipitated withdrawal which on top of a prior head injury drove me to so many head injury symptoms I lost my joband have been home for 7 years. I get vivid nightmares and wake up with internal tremors and severe burning I have tinnitus chronic pain dizziness sexual problems constant irritation in the back of head and neck and a suffering a lot. I take Neurontin and and Cymbalta. questions: what the hell does precipitated withdrawal do that damaged me so much and can anything be done at this point to help me

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi! I am sorry to hear that you had to go through at lot of suffering. I can understand what it must have been like. Prescription before diagnosis is grounds for malpractice. I would kindly ask you to inform me about one important fact - do you still take, or are trying to give up, medicines like Oxycodone? These medicines are called as opiates. They include Morphine, Buprenorphine, Hydrocodone and street drugs like Heroin. They all come under the same family of drugs with similar effects. I strongly feel that if you are still dependent on drugs like Oxycodone, because of the mistakes of the first doctor who introduced them to you, then that explains all the problems that you have mentioned in your question.

If you want to really be helped, then you need the support and guidance of people just like you, who have suffered the same. You can find this guidance in a non profit organization called as Narcotics Anonymous. I never said that you were a narcotic user. I just mentioned that you had been a victim of Oxycodone in the past, and Narcotics Anonymous also will help you get over it and reconstruct your life.

I have seen many people in a hopeless state of mind and body who have been helped by Narcotics Anonymous, when all else failed. Besides, it is a free service and has no strings attached. You have everything to gain from attending one of their meetings which are held regularly.

I wish you all the best and there is hope.
