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.
Thank you for the encouragement! It's nice to know I am not alone! That's great you are reducing your intake! I didn't have the self control to wean down on the drugs because no matter what it was never enough in my mind! So that is absolutely GREAT that you are doing that. It will be much easier on your mind and body when you fully quit. Take it slow and don't get discouraged!
