Ok this is my second post. First one was in introductions and I managed to mess that one up so here goes.
I have been on Oxycodone for a couple of years now. Im on the plain 5mg ones. With no fear of the icky APAP in what my doc used to give me, ive been steadily upping my dose to get the mmmmmmmmm feeling back. Now im at 80mg a day (up from 40mg last month). This sucks because im running low (about a 5 day supply) and have 2 weeks to go until i get more. Granted- for many people, 80 mg of plain oxycodone in a day isnt much but Ive went thru cold-turkey withdrawl once before and I didnt care for it.
I happen to have like 65 or so Morphine extended release (15mg) from my doc trying to get me on something last longer for my pain.
So, I think I have 3 options but I welcome any others. Should I (A) detox using lopermine for a week then back to my regular 40mg daily dosage (B) switch to my morphine stash for a week or so (C) ween myself down to 40mg and save my morphine to get me by until my next months supply gets here.
Apperciate the advice.
PS Was also wondering how long roughly it takes the brain to recover from extended opiate use. Im curious to know about how long without using opiates I would be getting the mmmmmmm feeling from a lower dosage.
Thanks much!
