Hi jocata, thanks so much for the understanding and encouraging words. I am so grateful for how well I'm doing to this point (down to about 33mg today and as of yesterday actually cut out one of my usual doses entirely) but am still afraid of what may be to come when I go totally off. I hope and pray it will be manageable after 4 or so months of tapering which is approximately how long it will have been if I continue at this rate to the end. I will update as I go. Like I said in my first post, I haven't read many accounts of successful slow tapers off oxy so I hope I can be among those to provide one. God Bless you too.
Sugarbear I dont know if you were writing in reply to me but as I said I have sought medical advice and am tapering in accordance with my doctor's knowledge.
