Time To quite oxy need help

I just got the bad case of the Flu today hit me like a ton of bricks. Oxy is the only thing that let me work. I want to quite my 200mg a day habit and have only 6 pills left. Should I taper say half does or go cold turkey my body justs hurts from the flue as I have took 160mg today and my body still hurts and chills.  Will the flu make my wd worse or the pain from the flue will mask my WD.   I am very scared at the moment as my wife does not no I take any Meds and she is a nurse..   Thanks  Rick

Since you feel like **** anyway might as well go c/t but in order to that you need to get rid of what you got or your going to want it bad.  Put them in a ziploc and bury them in a block of ice.
