Percocet/klonopin dependencey

Ive been on percocet and oxycontin for about 3 and 1/2 years with the doses ranging from 240mg or oxycontin a day and 2mg klonopin to percocet 30 mg a day with .5 mg kp. Currently taking 60 mg percocet a day everyday and 3mg klonopin. Get the meds from the doc and from the streets. Wanna stop but have to work and cant go through the withdrawl. Been to rehab intensive outpatient 2x and passed both times (court ordered). Any suggestions?????????????

Yes I just put taper oxycontin in the search box and saw all sorts of posts that would help you. Try that see if it helps to read them.

The taper suggestion does sound like a good idea never tried it before. Every other time its been forced cold turkey withdrawal. The cold turkey withdrawal is 10x worse then the flu. Anyone have other suggestions on the tapering method or other ideas??????

You are on high doses so I think you will have to taper down. You will still have withdrawal but it won't be as bad as you think. If you get the flu you don't have a choice so when the others here give you taper advice, do it, and life will be so much better. I know someone here has a taper schedual on thier profile. Maybe Naughty, Michael777 or ask avis or IBkleen  Mary etc. They are a great help to me.
