Page "Oxycodone" Paragraph 8

There is a high risk of experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms if a patient discontinues oxycodone abruptly.

Therefore, use should be discontinued gradually rather than abruptly.

People who use oxycodone in a hazardous or harmful fashion are at even higher risk of severe withdrawal symptoms as they tend to use higher than prescribed doses.

The symptoms of oxycodone withdrawal are the same as for other opiate based painkillers and may include " anxiety, panic attack, nausea, insomnia, muscle pain, muscle weakness, fevers, and other flu like symptoms ".
