I'm hopeful, fingers crossed.
I have intended to quit taking my oxycodone medication for some time now after my injuries. For the last 3 days I have only taken 10mg per day and have only felt a slight bit of withdrawal, nothing major like when I was taking 50mg+ per day.

Tomorrow will be the last day of 10mg, and I'm done. There is no turning back at this point, I'm too close and the timing is perfect. I'm too busy to think about it.

Best of luck Jeff, stay close and be ready for a few bumps in the road if they pop up...and ask for help if you need it.
