
Some people who have been using oxycontin for quite long
may also experience long-term withdrawal symptoms.
These symptoms are usually less physical in nature and may
only involve behavioural or emotional issues. Whatever the
symptoms, you can improve your condition by taking the
correct doses of OTC medications. For instance, you can take
Imodium if you have diarrhea. In case you have nausea,
some medications like dimenhydrinate and meclizine may
help. Antihistamines may also help manage your nausea in a
better way. Similarly, you can take acetaminophen or even
opt for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to deal with
body aches and pains. Just keep in mind that though OTC
medications help, you should not use them for an extended
period. You should avoid larger doses too.
