Ive done a lot of reading here but cant seem to find the best answer. Here goes.
I have been taking oxycodone for 2 years+ for a spinal condition. Pills are 10/325 but I cut them in half. Depending on the day I take 1/2 a pill up to 1.5. Rarely I go over 2 10/325 in a single day. I ONLY take these in the afternoon or night when the back has been working all day. The reality is they work well and I have them under good control. By control I mean I dont steadily increase the dosage. Never use for recreation but Ive been taking them in the evenings by habit just to keep the back pain away. Im very active and like an energetic feel, hence the desire to stay off if possible. The pills seem to give me a tired feeling. Has anyone been on a long term use pattern but at a low dosage? Occasionally I forget to take one and Im fine the next day although the back is a bit more painful. Any thoughts on what a week off of this will be like? Maybe some bowel discomfort or nervousness? Worse?
