Hi graywh1teblue, that is one heck of a story, and it doesn't sound very fun at all. I believe getting outside help is at least a step in the right direction. I'm also thankful that you shared this story. I am on oxycodone myself (prescribed) and quite nervous myself for the very reason you described above. I have been reducing intake now for about 3-4 weeks. 5mg per week. I hope you can find some solace in your new approach. Worst case scenario, I think long term inpatient treatment may save your life. But if your current plan works, that is great. Wish you the best.
