Weaning from Opiates

Weaning from Opiates

I have had a problem with pills for about 2 years, but a year and a half of that I could stop at anytime. Just this past New Years Eve I have started to wean myself, and am going through HELL!  I started taking them for my back problems, I have a bulging disk in my L5 S1 and my C1 and C2 are pinched. When I started weaning, I was on about 250 mgs a day of Oxycodone, and am now down to 9-12 5mg Vicodin a day. Is this gonna get any easier? I cannot sleep or eat! My anxiety is so high!!! Will the anxiety part go away? HELP please!

It is going to get better but it will take a while .  Have you talked to your doctor about weaning?  How will you manage your pain later?
