To properly stop taking Oxycontin and regular oxycodone, it is important to do so gradually to avoid unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. It is best to decrease the dosage slowly under the guidance of your doctor. The use of Suboxone as an alternative treatment option would depend on various factors, including the nature of your pain and previous medications you have tried. It is uncommon to use Suboxone solely for pain management. It is recommended to discuss alternative options with your pharmacist, who is familiar with your medical history.
