there are several options for you at this point, you can stop the oxies and use the methaodne as a taper med, or you can stop both and use a short acting opiate as a comfort med.

hi, jenn, so welcome here and congrats, you have already started to be your best friend, great :)

as you've been reading before you know you are in a good place  and really, you seem positive and full of energy and this is great, it can be done so don't hesitate you can do it too. :).

i would advise you to read old posts, have a look at the archives or just post your questions here or at the doctor forum . There are also very helpful info at the health pages on your right side of medhelp page ( where you can read about what you have asked:  the thomas recipe and the aminoacids protocol ) and do stay here even when you start feeling better, we can not let our guards down and besides, people here really care about each other, be part of this humanchain :)
