any help would be helpfull

I am currently taking 200-240mg of oxycotin a day by snorting all but 1 pill, i know rediculous, but here is my question, i want to start eating them, and only 2 a day, is it possible, and what should i expect? I usually crush 3-4 in the morning when waking up, then a few more through the day and then a half of a 40 at bed, i would like to get to the point that i can eat one in the am and eat one at bed, i have never before consumed them properly, except for the 1 at lunch why i dont know,,,, but can this be done and again what should i expect and for how long, a friend says i wont be that sick as i am eating them so they will be in my system anyways and release slowly into the body,,,is he full of ****, or is he right???? any and all insight would be helpfull, please no referal to methadone, not interested and i dont have any idea where to find suboxin, i have tried.....thank-you... also tapering slowly isnt an option.....come Friday I would like to go to 2 a day, yes by choice not because i wont have enough to continue.....i wanna do 2 a day for awhile then 1 then hopefully off

If you stick to your plan you can make it. Only take what you need so take it in the morning and see how you feel. If you don't feel to bad try to hold off and your taper will go alot better. You were taking quite a bit so it may take a while to get to 1 pill but hang in there like Vicki said be patient. Don't fall into the trap of not taking any then because you feel horrible you take more. Your body needs to get use to not having the high doses you were getting. Especially since you were snorting them you were getting the dose all at once. When you swallow them they will work over time so keep it up and you will make it through. God Bless---Rick

Hey just read your post and through the thread. I think youve been given great advice, just wanted to add one thing about your friends. It sounds like they are also addicts, and it doesnt mean they are bad people, but right now they are still lost in their addictions. Meaning they are all consumed by pills and using and getting more and avoiding WD etc. Addiction can make people selfish and tunnel visioned into getthing their drugs and it sounds like your friends are still trapped in their addictions. Its great you are trying to stop, best choice you can make, dont resent your friends, but for you right now you have to cut them out, hopefully down the road they will see how well you are doing and you being sober can show them its a possibility that there is hope and maybe inspire one of them to get clean too. ANyways, just wanted to add this because at first I had the same issues with my friends, and resented them, but I had to realize that they are lost in the same addiction I was, and they still are. Their actions and behaviors now arent who they truly are, its their addiction controlling them. Just wnated to offer another persepctive on all that. Good luck with what youre doing!
