TAPERING OXYCODONE

[JED1974]

I HAVE BEEN ON OXYCODONE FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND STARTED WITH 40 TO 50 MG A DAY AND WENT UP TO 90 MG A DAY FOR THE LAST THREE MONTHS> SUDDENLY 3 DAYS AGO I DROPPED TO 7.5 MG 3 TIMES A DAY , AND HAVE HARDLY NO SYMPTOMS. IS THIS GOOD. SHOULD I BE FEELING SOME WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS FROM DROPPING THAT FAR OF A DOSE FOR THE LAST THREE DAYS. I'VE SLEPT ALL NIGHT. THE VERY FIRST NIGHT A WOKE UP WITH STOMACH CRAMPS AND THE RUNS BUT THATS IT. I GUESS I FEEL A LITTLE DEPRESSED ,BUT NOTHING BAD. DOES ANYBODY THINK I'LL HAVE BAD WITHDRAWLS WEENING DOWN THE REST OF THE WAY?

Glad you guys are here. I'm very able to do this. i figured i stopped some of the really bad withdrawals by steeping down 70 mg a day for the last three days. Something tells me it won't be as bad as I think. Thanks Guys

Good thoughts to have..Get rid of whatever is left and get back to living without them being "any " paqrt of "any" thoughts you have during the day..Ridding yourself will give you your freedom and mental sanity back:)

You're right half a pill is nothing and i'm afraid of withdrawal. I just want to be done with them so from now on i"m stopping coming off of 20 mg can;'t be as bad as the first time. All I'm having right now is the runs and I feel fine otherwise. I really think I can be done with these with minimal side effects. I really think I've been through the worst. I am tortiuring my self. I'm fixed now, so I just want them out of my life, to lead a productive live. i"m very optimistic, don't get me wrong. I've never wanted them gone so bad in my life. I'm done.

AMEN Dav.....

Jed, if you just stopped torturing yourself this could be over with in a few short days. You are dragging this out and causing unnecessary discomfort and stress. The pills are a crutch for you now and I hope you come to a point where you realize you can walk without them....
