[QUOTE=Ekat;2384137]My doctor wants me to do a very slow taper from oxycodone. Has anyone done this or do you know of anyone who has done this successfully? Even holding the dose steady for months (120mg/daily) I am VERY depressed. Today I just knocked myself out to sleep all day. I don't want to do anything anymore.

I feel that my life is completely ruined.

[/QUOTE If you cut down 15 mg of oxycodone every four to five days it will not be that bad,but it may make you more tired and a little nausea which won't be that bad.By doing this,you could be off of them in a month.This is probably what your doctor is talking about.Try it and your body will let you know.Good luck.:praying
