Dana, At first the Oxy's made me superman with my family and work. i thought I was doing great. But then it becomes an ADDICTION I lost all interest at home, my job began to be sloppy and all i could focus on was how I'm I going to get pills. I fooled myself that If I stopped and went through WD I would be in hell i would not be there for my 4 year old and 4 month..plus wife.
I can only say I tapered of til I was at 30mg a day. I also noticed that the "M" are harder to get off than the"a's" So I made sure that I tapered off with "A"s. I loaded up on immodium, leg cramp med, and cold and flu medication. also I took I think 6 showers a day. I planned for my cold turkey on a Saturday so that I cold have the FLU. I still missed Monday but I know life had to start for me again.
I hope this helps some on day 18 and so happy not to be thinking about my next pill. take it one day at a time.
