I have had a partial dysectomy 10yrs ago and recovered enough from that to go back to work, got another bulged disk earlier this year (same one as before). I was put on oxcycontin 40gm night 20mg day and started to really get on top of things. Went to the specialist which were relieved to find out I didnt need nother op. But he told me to get off the oxcy. The last week I have been reducing meds, but think I might have done to quick. Not really handling withdrawals, am getting hot/cold flushes, nausea, loss of appetite (that bit is ok), but are getting depressed and teary, with pain coming back. Have started to do some rehab at the pool, as I would like to get back to work.

Anyone one got any suggestions for drug free pain relief,or been through withdrawals.
