Ive had enough of my oxycodone...ive been against it from the start...it has always been a love/hate rlelationship between me and my oxy...i love the fact that it takes the pain away but i hate what it does to my body...im tired of the dry skinned..chapped lips...plugged butt...itchy skin...nausea...im only 12 days post op but i think its time for me to start winging myself off of them...Last night was horrible for me...i normally take 10mg of oxycodone every 4 hours or as needed...but i called myself only taking half...and that was the worst mistake because it made me feel high...i was loopy and when i tried to lay down the room just began spinning...my mom threw ice packs at me to throw me into shock and thats what brought me back down into reality...i know i cant stop cold turkey but it has to be something else besides these strong narcotics..maybe i might turn into a real life hippie and consider edible marijuana..after all i am a hippie anyways..idk..im just tired of pills

I haven't taken any narcotics from day 2 post op. I was so nauseous and flipped out in my head when put on it in hospital, my doctor told me I didn't have to take it. I was put on strong Codeine and it worked fine. I didn't take anything after about 3 weeks and managed the pain ok. I think that we expect to be in horrendous pain after such a big op, but it is bearable pain. I hope you can come off it soon, good luck with recovery.
