The good news is your ready to stop..Not sure how much your using,,But I was using 120-180mg of Oxy plus 2-3 somas a night..You need to ne honest with your Doc, and get some valium and clondine for sleep..First 3-4 days are the worst with flu like symptoms..You may sneeze, yawn alot, and have trouble sleeping, and maybe the runs..Immoduin AD will help..Take lots of hot baths, Vitiamains, and drink lots of water to flush out toxins!  I'm 59 days clean and life never looked so good! Also be careful about depression and fatigue the first 15 days!  Good Luck and Keep Posting
