Started my Oxy Tapering

by Oxywannabeclean, Jun 14, 2008 02:43PM
Hi All, thanks for the recent replies to my ever painful bottoming out yesterday, my C/T day ended up being a fiasco and used every drug under the sun, gambled most of all my money, FRiday the 13th no less but because of all your support I'm started tapering but at just at 10% reduction, I'm feeling really bad. I wanted to go for a walk but to sick, I'm motivated and will do this, should I reduce again tomorrow by another 10% or hold off for a few days?
Thanks all
C

Well if memory serves me you only have enough to get you through Thursday, correct? We have a member on her named Avisg who is the taper expert. Send her a PM and tell her exactly how much you have left and she will give you the best taper schedule possible. I'm really sorry you're going through this but believe in yourself and God because this can be done!!

what is your dose and DOC right now.....i tapered quickly and quit...i am a cruddy taperer but do know how i was supposed to do it...i understand how it can help...if u r at a high dose it can help somewhat...for me i had to get thru til my planned time off...was kinda like prolonging the agony for me and if i coulda i would have rather just CT....i do know u have to be ready...really ready mentally to do this...it takes most more than one attempt i think...hang in there
