It is always important you seek professional advice from your doctor when coming off prescription medication. The symptoms of Oxycodone withdrawal can range from extremely uncomfortable to very dangerous. You can expect to experience anything from flu like symptoms, disorientation, blue nails and lips, through to chronic vomiting, seizures and heart attack.
