What is the best way to stop taking oxys?

I started taking percocets 5/325 for pain in my ankle, I was really good at first to not take them eveyday just when I needed to. I was also dealing with 2 of my sons being sexually abused. U ended up starting to take them to take the sadness and thoughts away. That was 2 years ago. I have in the last 6 months increased to taking what ever I can get. I have a different dr that will not give me a script for the  percs. I now buy what ever I can. I favor 30mg oxys. I take 3 a day just to function. I am so sick and tired of this. I want to stop but don't now the best way to go about it. I am extremely upset with my self for letting it get out of hand. I just want to go back to normal. I have tried cutting back and when I do I get dizzy. I just don't no what to do. Please help.

HI dont take the clodine unless a doctor prescribes it for you it is a very small amount used for withdrawals get a supply of gatoraid on hand and take lots of hot baths to sooth yourself that helps the most your habit is not that big it is very doable on a home detox your going to feel like you have the flu for about 4 or 5 days keep posting for support good luck and God bless.........Gnarly

I have read that clonidine helps with the wd. I do have some that one of my sons used to take for halo with sleep, but I am not sure how much of it to take or if I should even take it.

Well you have to make sure your husband doesnt cave, because there will be days that you dont feel well and you dont want him to give them to you because he feels bad. Its a good thing that you have someone though to help you because many dont have anyone that knows.

Good luck and post with any questions!

My plan is to taper down. I have my husband outside of him no one else knows. My husband would rather go out and find me pills so I don't get sick, but he agrees to help me thru this.  I do not work so I am lucky I do t have to worry about that. Thank u for the encouragement.
