30mg oxycodone

Help! I have been taking 30mg oxycodone for at least 2 years. I am at the point where I think if I try to detox it will kill me. I take between 8 and 12 a day! Yes a day. These are the instant release kind. I am ready to be done with these evil bastards. I just don't have any idea where to begin.

Yea I was once there with oxycodon and taking about the same dose.  I went from that to norco to tramodol and to a low dose of tramadol which if ur strong enough it possible to stop.  I should've and I could've but I didn't 2 years later I'm still on norco due to my back surgery but I ve been wanting to stop for a while but I think if I would've been stronger it would've helped me stop. The w/d from tramadol I thought werwnt that bad compare to oxycodon and I should've delt with it and stopped there,  but like I said I think that is one way.  Don't quote me though. N hang in there

Subutex comes with its own set of problems too.  Do you have a doctor that you could talk to you about this?

I have tried 10mg methadone and it seems to be the only thing that helps with the withdrawals. But I don't wanna go down that road either. I have the BEST family and am so afraid of losing them or them losing me. I just really really need help

There isn't anyone that can be trusted not to take the 30s themselves :) sad I know. I have back and neck problems but am ready to live with the pain versus not feeling much of anything I heard of a new drug called subutex. I guess its similar to suboxone but a lot stronger and a lot different all at the same time

Hi and welcome to the forum~~~

You are on a hefty dose thats for sure.  Are you having other medical issues right now?  Tapering may be a good choice for you.  Is there anyone that can help you with this?
