    As my experience of Opiates: Anthing that is a narcotic/opiate based! So if you really wantto stop opiates or any narcotic medications i would strongly suggest slowly tapering yourself off them. Start out i with your usual amount you take now then slowly take less and divide them and count all them out and slowly take less every 2-3 days till you are down to 1 to 2 pills daily then ween our way of that amount . After you accomplish that, STAY AWAY FROM THEM. The withdrawals are very severe abd just one word HELL. I have been through withdrawals several time and tell myself next time slowly weening off them but easier said than done. But i would suggest to do that before doingcold turkey!!!

    Wikipedia says "Oxycodone is an opioid analgesic medication synthesized from opium-derived thebaine."

    Here's an article that explains the difference between opioid and nonopioid:
