> Same question on Euphoria. I just felt tired and spacey and didn't like they way they felt so went off them.
My mother recently had spinal fusion surgery. Oxycodone 10 mg every 3-4 hours was necessary to relieve her pain.
No euphoria.
No dysphoria.
Confusion.
Memory impairment.
Somnolence.
Ataxia.The stuff worked well. It effected robust antinociception (analgesia). It allowed her to get through rehab sessions and then enabled her to come home. She was able to discontinue oxycodone herself without an extended taper. The only major withdrawal symptom was agitation. She took oxycodone for just over three months. I don't know how that compares to others. I will say this, though. I think the introduction of tramadol may have made the discontinuation of oxycodone easier.
