I Am a chronic pain patient that does not want to b dependent on oxyIR 30mg tab qd.I know this sounds like alot of medicine to most but I AM AT 8 TABS PER DAY. I was also taking and perscribed by my Dr . Oxycontin 80mg 2 in morning and 2 at night. I stopped taking them 2 months ago. The dr. replaced them with oxyIR 15 3per day. I want to ween off this medication so bady..I am sick of being dependent physiologicaly on this medication. I have been on this since 2003..that is a long time. At this point I dont care how much pain I am in. after just 6 hrs..I am sweating..cant think..cold ..hot aching.etc...Does anyone have the same problem and does anyone know a way to start a weening regimen that will work at home. I am committed and ready to go.. The biggest problem is that I have responsibilities ..like everyone..When i start to get sick..I become aghoraphobic.(not wanting to go outside..high anxiety..which I take 2mg Xanax for. I have been able to take the xanax as needed ..it is prescribed 3xs per day. which for me is very good...Please if anyone has any suggestions or have been through this..I really need advice. My dr..says nothing when i tell him what i want to do. he says "Just do it slowly" I asked "whats Slowly"? no answer..I believed in my dr. But now I think he is like alot of other pain mgmt drs. here in Florida who really dont care about their patients ..only about the money they get in their pocket every month, and to keep us addicted to these med..for their own financial gain.. Not to mention the pharmacys and what they are charging..thinking that everyone of us are selling are pills. THERE ARE ACTUALLY REAL PEOPLE IN CHRONIC PAIN OUT HERE..THAT NEED ADVICE AND/OR HELP. PLEASE HELP IF U HAVE ANY IDEAS. THANKS
