I would like to know the best way to stop Oxycontin (oxycodone CR) and regular oxycodone. I take 40mg twice a day of CR and 10mg of regular oxycodone as needed. I still have significant pain, and the side effects are too severe.

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.
