Trying to slowly get off oxycodone
linda50
So I've been taking Oxycodone since May of this year. The reason was for arthritis in my knee. Well apparently I didn't realize how much I had been talking till today!....too much in my opinion, I need help from this group and No where else will I go or turn to! I'm hoping this group can help me. I take up to 60 mg...a day. I get them from my Dr. It's time I stop..Got a shot in my knee which helped a lot! I should be thankful for her in all she did....in know way is this is her fault. I lied to her! Now I have to try and get off them by myself. I think I can do it but...I'm. Very scared. I'm thinking at 4:am as always
Instead of taking 20 mg take 10mg! At. 1:30 the same. I was taking. 40 I will be back on with a report of how I'm doing! I know I will go threw withdrawals! Please pray for me.....I must do this I want too do this! How I got to this point! Stupidity!

I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...


You need to wean very slowly from these to lesson the severity of the withdrawals. Journaling or writing here is a good way follow your progress.
As scary as it is, you need to tell your doctor. Good things come to those who tell the truth. This has been proven to me time and time again in the past 6 years since I have been clean.
When I told my doctor, she shook my hand and congratulated me for my honesty. She could easily tell it was so hard for me but made it so easy for me to be honest.
I congratulate you for recognizing you have a problem! You will get through this because your strength and resolve resonate throughout your post! You have a plan and that's a good thing.
Weaning very slowly will give your brain a chance to adjust and rewire itself.
Hugs and God Bless!
.I will stay strong and pray! Only took 20 mg instead of 40 mg thinking I might just take 10 mg this afternoon. ...Instead of 20 mg what scares me the most is having a SZ! Again thanks for your input and hope more people will respond. ....no matter what their in put is!
