Hello Sir,

In fact, there are solutions that are all based on quitting gradually. If you had already tried to quit all at once, it is normal that it is not easy.

The best thing is to ask your pharmacist or doctor to prescribe you other strengths of oxycodone. This way we will decrease to 15 mg for 10 days, 10 mg for 14 days, 5 mg for 14 days, before stopping completely.

Hello Mr.Chagnon, thank you very much for the information but I find it a little long 14 days, isn't the body going to be even more dependent?It's been about 1 Year that I'm taking oxycodone. Thank you again and good day to you.

Don't worry. Compared to a year's worth of use, 14 days is very, very little and will not induce additional dependence, given the lowered dose.

If we go any faster than that, you will have more withdrawal symptoms and may have to go back to where you started.
