TAPERING OXYCODONE

[JED1974]

I HAVE BEEN ON OXYCODONE FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND STARTED WITH 40 TO 50 MG A DAY AND WENT UP TO 90 MG A DAY FOR THE LAST THREE MONTHS> SUDDENLY 3 DAYS AGO I DROPPED TO 7.5 MG 3 TIMES A DAY , AND HAVE HARDLY NO SYMPTOMS. IS THIS GOOD. SHOULD I BE FEELING SOME WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS FROM DROPPING THAT FAR OF A DOSE FOR THE LAST THREE DAYS. I'VE SLEPT ALL NIGHT. THE VERY FIRST NIGHT A WOKE UP WITH STOMACH CRAMPS AND THE RUNS BUT THATS IT. I GUESS I FEEL A LITTLE DEPRESSED ,BUT NOTHING BAD. DOES ANYBODY THINK I'LL HAVE BAD WITHDRAWLS WEENING DOWN THE REST OF THE WAY?

Good idea. Do you think they will be unbearable? only taking 7.5 3 times a day. i thought i would be feeling really terrible but I don't

Hey Jed, not to sound critical but the caps are a little overbearing..And I'm confused now. I thought you were only dealing with hydrocodones back when you first started posting for help in May..

If you can stick to a taper,it may be easier in the long run. It sounds like you've had what you're going to have so far...As you decrease your dose,you'll have symptoms but it sounds like they're tolerable. Now that the weekend is here,why don't you just jump off?
