that is less than 6 months of use...what dose of oxy do u take?  r u saying 15-20 mgs a day?
Have u tried to quit before during this time since May?  everyone is different but ur dose is do-able without a ton of wds for many...alot of it is mental..and what u expect to have..i may have misunderstood ur dose tho??  and also a factor is have u had an addiction in the past as that causes a faster addiction next go-around/not really faster cos addiction never goes away//it sits there in remission when we refrain from using and do our aftercare..it sounds as if u r afraid/as if u have had some bad wds in the past??

The thomas recipe is great..in the health pages/plus lots of other info there....read and learn...find a meeting near u or a counselor for aftercare of some type ..it will help...if this is a relapse then u really need to try and figure out what went wrong//what u can do different this go around..if not/then u r at a low dose for a short period of time/it is good u recognize it now while it is still very do-able

make a plan...and keep us posted

and no..taking a hydro or oxy on quit day is not advisable...it will only slow u down and prolong wds unless u have a stringent taper plan///tapering is hard for a true addict and handing over ur pills to someone u trust is advisable...keeping pills past ur set quit day is almost a sure way to relapse///refills gotta go...ur dr needs to know u no longer want to take narcotics...keep moving forward
