Getting off oxycodone

I have been take 30mg immediate release oxycodone for about 3 months,recreationally, first a quarter pill then half and finally peaking at 45-60mg a day for about a week.  for the past 2 days i have just have 30mg a day split into morning and night.  I have 8 pills left and i have to be done with this, its was all fun in the beginning, but I have to get off this road because I know where it ends. I had dts this morning just from the 2 days at 30 mg.  so i need someone to tell me how to use my remaining 8 pills to reduce as much as possible withdrawal symptoms.  Thanx

I made it to 3:30 today and finally couldn't handle it, so I went from 9pm last night till 3:30 pm today.  I took a 1/4 tab (7.5mg approx)  Going to get some Motrin right now because the aches in my upper body are killing me, I would love to do it CT but I have to keep it together for work and family.  I wish there was something to stimulate my appetite, that's a big problem right now too, I just don't want to eat!

I did a taper... my advice would be to break them up and take parts of them only when you can't handle wd's anymore. You will notice if you do it like this(write down your dosage, when, and why) You will need them further and further apart. Don't take them to get high( I know it's hard)

Hi~  Try taking Motrin 800mg 3x a day for the aches.  If you continue tapering like this,you may just drag everything out. Just don't take anymore oxy,push fluids in,move around, and take hot baths several times a day.  I think you'll feel better,faster without
taking anymore.

Good luck!

Well I am on day two of tapering, yesterday only had 22 mg (3/4 of a tab) I woke up puking and with chills and sweats, took some Airborn Nighttime (loaded with vitamins) and a half of Clanazpam and an Immodium.  Today I woke up feeling better, but I know I am not out of the woods, my body is incredibly sore today, I started today off with airborne, 1/2 clonazopam and am going to try and make it til lunch b4 my next tapering dose. This is the last time I **** around with this ****!!
