Hello, I've read this board before and I find the information that people give can be very valuable. I'm a 34 year old male who weighs 150lbs. I have a daily oxy habit of 160mg a day. I have six 80mg pills left and I would like to taper using these. They are the new OxyNeo's, they have wax in them to prevent people from melting them and injecting them, they also cannot be crushed and snorted. Is it possible to cut these in half at least? Can anybody help me with a taper schedule? I'm alone and scared to death. I have beaten this addiction once before, four years ago with the help of Suboxone. I don't want to go down that road again, the supervised urine tests and the by-monthly doctors visits are hell. I also don't want to just switch one opioid addiction for another (which has worse withdrawl). A recent surgery has weakened my will power and I find myself right back where I used to be. If anybody has any advise, a taper method, or even just support please get back to me. I'm dreading the consequences of my stupid actions, I feel that these things are taking over my life. I have so much to live for, a great wife, and a two year old daughter who copies my every actions. Please help!

Hello Scared, Congrats on wanting to get clean. The process will only work if you really want it. Im an addict myself. Ive been detoxing off of opiates and Suboxones this week and Im trying to tamper off myself. Not sure if its working or not. Im still going to w/d and everything that comes along with it. Were both the same age going thru the same addiction. Hope everything works out for ya

Thanks for the support. I really do want this to work. I realize that will power plays a major factor in success rate. Are you on Suboxone and opioids at the same time? If so wouldn't the blockers in the Suboxone render the other opioids you are taking useless? Or are you alternating the two? I know that Suboxone is a b***h to get off, and the w/d's last a long time. What other opioid are you taking (just curious)? I wish you all the best as well, it's good to know that there are others struggling with the same problem as I am. Not because I like to hear that people are suffering (I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy), but because maybe somebody can give me some advise that would help. Please, if anybody could recommend a taper method or any helpful advise, I'm all ears. Thanks again for the support (I need it). My wife is under the impression that I have the flue. I am a faithful husband and I hate to lie to my wife, but I don't think she could handle it. She is very opioid, and addiction naive.

Hey scared, To answer your questions, I would be on a sub for a day or 2 o3 ect and then I would switch to subs for a day or or 3 lol I just kept going back and fourth for the last few years. When I was bartending I met one of the waitresses and we started hanging out and she introduced me to heroin, which was and still is the devil. I never had the balls to shoot it but I became a pro at snorting it. I tried to detox off of that cold turkey, found myself in the ER. They gave me some meds to help with the W/DS but didn't really help. I called my hook up and bought a bunch of coke thinking maybe that would help me out lol See bro, I'm just as messed up as the next one. Anyways I'm on day 5 now I think, Ive already drank a 24 pack of water, I don't have any energy at all but I tell you what, i make myself run, when the wife is at work, I have a pretty nice size apartment, So I run well jog all thru out my apt. Jumping jacks and tried some sit ups. Ive been taking b12 as well. I feel cold and hot most of the time and take 2/3 showers a day. I finally got the energy to leave my house today and drove around all day, I was able to interact for the most part. Ive been wearing a hoodie all week, its like my little security blanket lol Seriously I hope your doing alright. Its nice to know that im not doing this alone. So what day are you on, have you tried anything that I have. I think its working for me but everyone is different ya know. Hope you feel better and Ill talk to you later!!

Hello joshakavix, it sounds like your doing everything right, exercise, keeping yourself busy, hot showers, and vitamins etc. Congrat's on day 5, prob 6 by now. As for me, I used to work in a nightclub as a bartender as well, the drugs were too readily available to me. I have used Fentanyl (sp), Oxycodone obviously, Hydromorophone (Dilaud, sp), and have also used H. I as well didn't have the stones to shoot it. So I began to snorted it. I was put in a two week detox (a public hell hole), after that then they put me on 24mg Suboxone a day (highest dose one can receive) this was five years ago. It did keep me clean of opioid's for a long time, but it really dulled my senses. Seven months ago I had a work place injury (I work construction now) and I needed to get off the Suboxone in order to get any pain management at all. I got myself off Suboxone by taking Hydromorophone in its place (not that I'm endorsing or condoning that). My Doctor is the "Dugey Houser" type, and he cut me off all my pain meds. All I could get was OxyNeo, when your not grabbing for awhile you loose connections. I was able to get somebody to trade me his 40's for my 80's (two 40's for an 80 of course). Joshakavix, let me know how things are going. Can anybody help me with a fast taper plan, I've been trying to cut back %10-18 every second day or so. Any help would be great. Eg. Should I eat weed in order to cut back more per day or should I not smoke weed. I'd like to do this at home, I'm never going back into detox.

I replied to your post promptly joshakavix but something prevented it from going through. I'll try again if this works. Congrats on what would be 7 days now.

My original reply was in violation of ToS? It wasn't rude or anything that I could remotely see as being not allowed. Does anybody know what this ToS is?
