Nothing new here - just another addict writing to tell you about how he has pretty much ruined his life with painkiller addiction and wants desperately to quit. I'll start at the beginning. I had my wisdom teeth out about 5 years ago and they prescribed me the basic 5/325 Percocet to handle to pain. This is the first time in my life I was introduced to the drug. What can I say I loved the feeling I got from the pills. From that point on I would take the drug recreationally with frienRAB when someone could get them. Which was maybe a couple times a month? No big deal and that lasted up until the past year or so. But almost overnight there seemed liked there was a huge influx of Perc suppliers
 
If you really do want to get off the roxycontin and are ready to do it then you would do a slow tritrate down. And by slow, we're talking over a month or so, that way your body won't totally go into shock and you won't have horrible DT's. You said you're taking 1 pill a day, right? So you would start with 1 pill a day, then 1/2 pill the next day and do this every other day for a week, then go down to 1/2 pill every day for a week, then do 1/2 pill one day and 1/4 pill the next, do this every other day for a week, then do 1/2 pill one day and none the next, do this every other day for a week, then 1/2 pill every 2 days, for a 3 day, then 1/2 pill every 3 days, for 3 days, then 1/2 pill every 4 days....

Something like that....and by then you should be able to get off the drug altogether...now this is not saying that you won't have any withdrawal symptoms because you probably will, but they won't be as bad as if you just stop cold turkey. And you'll have to be careful in the future anytime you need pain meRAB. the need and desire to start taking these every day again...well you know. Always tell any doc that wants to prescribe you pain meRAB that you're a former addict to them.

Well this is the only advice I have, I hope you're able to get off these meRAB, and get your life back.
 
hey thank you for the advice. I am in the process of trying to get some health insurance so i can go to an in or outpatient substance abuse facility. I will also try to follow your recommended dosing technique for weening myself off the roxy. I wont lie right now im just doing the same as always popping a pill every night right now. Guess its going to take some real effort on my part. Thanks for everyones post and I will keep you updated.
 
Kyle,

Yes, you could use this method for oxycodone as well, depending on how many your taking a day, just kind adjust the taper to fit that.

Good luck.
