Are you sure you are taking 600 mg (7.5 tablets) of Oxydolor per day? Please clarify, because the dose given far exceeds those used on average to treat pain. Discontinuation of Oxydolor, if used are long-term high daily doses must be carried out under the supervision of a doctor. The drug taken chronically can cause physical and psychological dependence, so it is recommended to gradually reduce the doses. The process of discontinuation of the drug can take up to several weeks. The need to discontinue the drug under the supervision of a doctor is due to the possibility of strong withdrawal effects of the drug, which include: tremor, excessive sweating, anxiety, agitation, convulsions and insomnia, mydriasis, tearing, watery runny nose. I will also add that it will be necessary to use another analgesic for the spine, which will also require a medical consultation.
