Hey guys - starting tomorrow or Mon (going to see if I need half a pill tomorrow to smooth the ween off), I want to stop taking oxy.
Some background, I’ve been on anywhere from 7.5-15mg of percs 2-3x per week. Usually Fri to Sun only but that’s been weakening during COVID when I’m always home. Now I’m doing the same dosage but almost daily. I really want to stop this before I’m too far addicted or worse, starting to do heavier stuff.
I have about 40 pills at home I’ve gotten through a legit source (for severe back pain). My back is going better at the moment, but I do want to keep the pills “handy” as I’ve been in some awful pain situation that come on without any notice and it’s peace of mind to have them.
So my plan is this: tell my wife I am cutting myself off. Give her the pills the hide somewhere in the house. And do not take a perc for at least 2 months (hopefully never again, but don’t want to commit to that). This is less about stopping forever and more about showing that they do not control me and I do not NEED them to function day to day.
This will be hard for me so if it’s ok with the rules of this forum, I’d like to post daily (or close to it) in the beginning. I also plan to seek support if I ever feel weak and needing it.
Really appreciate anyone’s advice on how to deal with the withdrawal symptoms! I don’t have access to any other drugs aside from OTC stuff, muscle relaxants, alcohol, Xanax, fluoxetine/Prozac (which I currently take daily 10mg). Prefer to make it through without introducing a new drug, if I can.
