Oh wow you sound like me. I too have had too many spinal surgeries due to a genetic disorder. I have rods and screws too. I also still have bad back pain and am getting the hardware removed and redone again. I feel ya. I also took Methadone at one time because it was the cheapest thing at the time. It did not work that great for my pain but it was all I could afford at the time in college. I will tell you this, I will never touch the stuff again. It was the worse thing to ever come off of. I had the most horrible wd's and I even tapered very slowly. With the oxy's if you can cut down by 20% every day it does make it easier. I do know the wd's from oxy to me was not as bad as hydrocodone. Did not seem to be as intense especially when you taper it. I don't know if that has something to do with a longer half-life or what. You may still have some wd's but they won't be as intense. At least it wasn't for me. I have taken myself off narcs. several times just to see if I still really needed them or if it was in my head that I needed them THAT bad. Of course when you are going through the withdrawals the pain becomes so much worse, especially in your back and the headaches are almost unbearable. If you can talk to a doctor an antianxiety med really helps with the not being able to sit still and feeling like you are gonna crawl out of your skin. Good luck.

hi and welcome to the forum. 6 pills are not much to work with. i think i would go as long as possible then take a half and wait again til you can stand it and take a half...etc...keep posting it helps to know you are not alone...we have been there.
