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!
