What is Oxycodone Withdrawal?

Oxycodone withdrawal is the physical and mental symptoms you experience after you stop or reduce use.

These unpleasant effects can last about a week during detox.

Oxycodone withdrawal varies for everyone.

It can range from mild to severe depending on how you used it.

Individuals with substance abuse disorders typically have a harder time with oxycodone detox.

You can experience irritability, depression, insomnia, agitation, anxiety. You may have suicidal thoughts and an inability to concentrate.

The Worst Day of Opiate Withdrawal

The worst day for opiate withdrawal can begin a few hours after the last use.

The signs of oxycodone withdrawal vary from person to person.

Many people describe the feeling of flu-like symptoms; fatigue, chills, and diarrhea.

The severity of your symptoms span across a spectrum.

To understand how your oxycodone detox progresses, the Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale is a useful tool.

The most common oxycodone withdrawal symptoms include muscle aches and pain, sweating, runny nose, chills, nausea or vomiting, cramping or diarrhea, insomnia, lucid dreams, teary eyes, tremors, restlessness, gooseflesh, heart-pounding, agitation, and skin-crawling.

These symptoms will begin within 8-24 hours after you begin the detoxing process.

Depending on the type of oxycodone, specifically the extended-release tablets, your pain tolerance is diminished.

You may experience the return of severe pain.

Pain can complicate your oxycodone withdrawal.
