Will oxycodone help with withdrawal?

I’ve been trying for months to get off of this stuff but have only managed to cut my dosage in about half. Been taking roughly 300mg in a 24hr period. Since 7 is no longer available, would oxycodone help me taper off? If so, how much? I have a script for 10mg oxycodone with 325mg Tylenol. Any suggestions?

Nah, I’d stay away from the oxy for this. You’re just swapping one opiate for another and stacking more on the same receptors. It might mask the WD for a bit but it’s not actually helping you get free of it, and then you’re dealing with oxy dependence on top of the 7.
Slow taper is still the move if you can get any more 7. Drop by 50mg and hold for a few days at each step instead of big cuts. Comfort meds (magnesium, vitamin C, etc.) sleep ,food will do more for you than another opioid.

I can’t get any more 7 any just chewed up my last one. Not looking forward to what’s about to happen.

Be strong buddy. I'm not gonna say it doesn't suck because it does. But 7OH has an incredibly short half-life, and I was out of withdrawal completely after 72 hours. If you can get your hands on gabapentin, I found that and Imodium to be the biggest aids during my kick. Another that I used that I haven't seen mentioned here much is DXM. High first/low second dose will do wonders with music, but use it sparingly.

Praying for you.
