I was on Ms Contin a couple years ago and did detox myself, worst mistake I could have made, took 2 1/2 weeks to come around to feeling good enough to leave my couch. It is an opiate with a time release and with it being that, tappering usually never works, at least for me it didn't. I came off opiates in a detox and it was easier and didn't last as long as the couch did. I would suggest the same, talk to a doctor, if you can get to an NA meeting go, there you will find help on how to live your life without the us of drugs as many have for years.
