I suggest that you cut off your supply by contacting your dr. and telling them not to give you anymore oxycodone scripts. It is very freeing. Brings closure.

I will be beginning an oxycodone (perc) taper in a few days when my daughter leaves after a holiday visit. I have tapered off twice and it's not that hard with a slow taper. I cut a 5 mg a day a week then 2.5 then half of that then quarters. I take 15 mg every 5 hours now. I do't think there is...

Hi Secrets, Thanks so much Secrets for your enthusiasm. I really needed it...Yay Me! Thank you God, It's been a day plus without a percocet! I am going to print out what you posted and when i want a pill, I'll read it and follow the directions. I am stiff. I need to stretch out. And...

Hi, I tapered and now am off of percocet and the side effects aren't too bad right now. I took my last 1/4 pill at 8 pm last night. I know how you feel about the fear of running out. I was like that with my percocet for 7 years. When you're ready, you will quit. I called my doc and said not to...

i have tapered off on my own twice and am now tapering again. Hopefully, even though i have chronic pain, i can get to where i don't ever take it again. It's hard. Whey do i want to quit? Chronic acute constipation. Weight gain and hungry all the time, i want to live my life in reality, not...

Hi everybody, It's been a month since i took my last oxycodone. I can't believe it! It went by quickly after the w/d stopped. I just want to thank all the people here who were supportive when I was going through withdrawals and getting clean. And to encourage those who are struggling that yes...

JMHO I would taper 5 mg 4 times a day, then 1/2 of that and then quit during the week and detox on the weekend and then take L-Tyrosene for the blahhs and to get you motivated. Otherwise, I would wait until Christmas vacation from school and take some time off work to detox. I've been off of...

to be totally honest, the only pain i have from fibro is my feet in which i have chronic plantar fasciitis and have had for over a year because the percocet masked the pain. Now i have special shoes that keep my feet from hurting. I just use the fibro as an excuse to stay on the percocet. wow...

he had 10 years and i had 8 in aa. aa didn't tell me stop meRAB. i just can't get into a inpatient treatment center while on valium and percocet. i think i can get by with only taking my percs as needed instead of every 5 hours. I am tapering off. i have thought about leaving. i think that...

Have you read the Thomas recipe? The L-tyrosene helps and watching mindless comedy films helps with the blahhhs and depression. I have been down the same road. And am on day 26. Have you cut off your supplier? That was key for me. It made me feel good about myself and more confident that I would...

Hi, After doing some research, i found that intense nightmares are a symptom of opiate withdrawal.

yeah, i know...believe me, I know. It's more than a "project", it's my life. This is my third time around with this. I never stayed off it though, I would get it refilled "because it was prescribed for my illness." The fact is, is that I am not IN pain most of the time. If I don't take a pill...

Hi and congrats. You sound determined. Until I really knew in knower that the negative aspects of using oxycodone way out weighed what the pills did for me, I couldn't quit. I used the Thomas Recipe too but also tapered. I have been clean since 9/30/10 and it feels great. I am free! It took...

Hi, You will find a lot of support here. And you can check out previous posts by doing a search. I have a blog about tapering off of Percocet if you want to check it out. There is a detox plan at the top of this board that I also used. L-tyrosene will help with the depression and blahhhs. I...

I tapered onto to valium and then off of that. I started at 80 mg of valium a day and am now down to 20 mg a day. I am using the Ashton method.

Has anyone experienced detox nightmares? I am and it's so awful, I don't want to go back to sleep.

Hi Mike, I haven't read all the responses due to time restraints but wanted to give you some hurable advice. I also relapsed after being sober over 10 years. I have a painful illness, had to quit working, was on pain meRAB, in a deep depression and just said **** it i might as well drink. i...

I tapered off of oxycodone and i blogged about it. I think if you do a search on this board you will find other people who have tapered off of vicodin. I know a lot of people can't taper, they just can't control their intake. Do you have someone to help you to give you a lower dose each day? The...
