This is very common, it will pass, this takes time. Im coming off methadone & I have to force myself to get up off my butt to do anything!  I normally am a clean freak, and now I might load two dishes in the dishwasher & then take a 7 hour break, go back to the sink & load maybe a few more, then rest again, its ridiculous, very depressing, but we will get their, its all a matter of time.  Penelope

The time release element  of the oxy's is a hard one to get beyond - even if you were crushing them.... it also makes the taper very hard to accomplish successfully. I couldnt stress the nutrition more - and the supplements, especially the amino acids - check out the posts for the Thomas Recipe and FLaddicts amino protocol......a 2 week taper from 300mg oxy probably didnt do much for you at all........exercise helps...walks, bike rides, whatever it takes - for all practical purposes you are cold turkey'ing from 300mg oxy - but the good part is that you arent the first one! 16 days so things should be getting better quickly - just dont do any narc's or you will be starting all over again....keep it up - its not much longer...................and feed your head with nutrition
