I made it OFF OXYCONTIN!!!!

After 4 + years on a time release medication of some kind I have tapered off in just three months.  Not many w/d's really because I did it so slow.  I started Jan 9th and I was taking 60mg of OxyContin.  This week if my first week off and I feel better than ever.  I am clear, stopped forgetting things, I'm happy!  And best of all I have LESS pain!  I am still taking some Oxycondone for pain when needed but that is it.  
Anyone who is thinking of tapering, DO IT!  You won't regret it!

great job on the taper, but oxycodone is the same stuff oxycontin is...same ingredients.....keep the tapering plan and eventually get off the last oxycodone and call it quits.....glad your doing better.
