Oxycontin withdrawal

Question

Can I withdraw from oxycontin on my own?

I will be going to the doctor tomorrow and I don't know if I should ask for more or ask for  40mg pills and taper. I'm unsure of how to proceed. I am taking 80mg twice a day because that is what I had.  I know I could get by with less or should I quit or even ask for percocet.  Do I sound confused or what? Thanks for your time

Yes I got them from my doctor for chronic pain. I went to accupuncturist and that helped which is why I did the Suboxone. Accupuncturist cost too much for me to handle and I had leftover oxys that I am presently taking.

Six months ago I used Suboxone to get off a 640mg habit. Did real good until I hurt my back. I got real depressed with lots of pain and started to take them again. I'd like to get off and heard of tramadol helping. Suboxone withdrawal was awful for me. This site makes tramadol sound like a bad idea. Beginning to think I have to go away or go to rapid detox.
