sorry I am 23 year old male got hurt riding my snowmobile. Another racer ran over my leg and riped my calf muscle off basically. I was on Roxycodone for about 1 month before he switched me to methadose. just to be clear i want off all this stuff i would rather hurt than have to take a pill to function. To me i feel my pain is nothing compared to being able to function and think. Total time on pain meds would be 3 months with different ones

What matters most in stopping any medication that you have taken for a long time, is, how willing are you to try to stop it without suffering. I'm not expecting an answer, but, you were on pain meds for how long & why. Maybe I'm not understanding your question. If you have just been taking roxycodone, and quit 4 days ago, are you trying to go totally off the pain meds? It appears that you already have.

If you're being weaned off medication then 15mg would be about the lowest dose you'd be taking before stopping altogether.
If it's been 4 days you're through the worst of any possible physical side effects. If you're still having problems it's an emotional attachment to the medication at this point.
If you're really having a hard time talk to your doctor. Otherwise drink chamomile tea to relax and know that every day without is going to be a little better.

You quit or the doctor cut you off? 4 days? You are through the worst of it now. But what is your question? You don't give anymore info. Symptoms? What?
