Need help tapering!

[theirmama]

I have 24 OC 5mg's and 5 15 mg Morphine. Can someone help me with a taper schedule? I've been using (snorting) Oxy recreationally for over a year now. No consistent Mg's per day, pretty much just whatever I can get that day. Lately (last few weeks) i've kept the mg's down to 80 to 120mgs a day. I know I will still have WD's but want to do whatever I can to stay at work and to take care of my 3 sons and lay in bed as little as possible. I've learned that I'm more likely to give into cravings when i'm home in bed rather than pushing through and going about my business.

I've been here before many times (daily) and only posted once to say that i had quit, well that lasted about 2 weeks and I caved. I have no reason to keep using and every reason in the world to stop! I've looked into NA in my area and have decided that is the route that I must take to stop for good.

Any input would me much appreciated and i'll answer any questions you need me to in order to get to where I need to be....clean!

I do remember the Amino's helping me function more than if I did not have them. I'm so over this ride and just want to get off this coaster. Thanks for the support!

You are correct, 5mg oxycodone IR. Sorry and Tank you for paying attention to me!

I am pretty sure that there are not 5mg Oxycontin.  Pretty sure the lowest form of oxycontin is 10mg.  Are you meaning 5mg oxycodone Immediete release pills?

The reason I ask is because the oxycontin are a time released for of oxycodone where as the 5mg pill is just a fast acting oxycodone.  Then it would depend on what you have as to how and when to take easch of which one..

Make sense?

Congratulations - I really believe in the amino acids....and the Thomas Recipe is good. I believe that avisg is the resident taper consultant. She is usually willing to help anyone and is our community (forum) co-leader......pm her and give her details about what you are used to doing and what you have on hand

I have most of the items on both the Thomas Recipe and Amino proticol. My biggest issues when WDing is sleep, slugishness and RLS. I know what works for me and what doesn't since i've gone through this so many times. I just want to stop for good!
