how fast to taper?

I would appreciate a knowledgeable opinion on how fast, can I taper off of 200mg day of oxy? I've got some other sizes than 80's and want to try to quit, when medicated I think ct ain't as hard as it looks, however as it wears off? I really would like to try a super fast taper with what's hangin around the house. I tried to get smaller pills than 80's but that didn't go over well? I'm kinda afraid to blow my heart out cold turkey, and this isn't one of those towns that's known for it's med care. I won't cut up the 80's, don't want to get high, taking them for pain management.

In a perfect world you should always consult a Dr. I look at tapering as different for everyone and I guess it depends on how fast or slow you want to make it.

I think when you start you body will let you know.

good luck

Hi there -

Please remember that we can not give doses for tapering.  Each person is different, and may react differently.  Anyone trying to taper should speak to their doctor.

Thanks,
Emily

Hi~  We really can't offer you a taper plan;slow or fast.  Can you call your doctor for advice?    The only thing"super fast" is just stopping cold turkey BUT you mentioned blowing out your heart so I don't know...not sure what that means or if you have a heart condition.  I think it's best to do this medically with your doctor on board.
All the best~
