Hello and thank you for taking your time to read my post :)

I have been clean now for the last 24 hours thx to a couple of sub strips a buddy gave me. I have enough subs till prob wed or thurs if I try tapering down as I go. 2 8 mg strips. First day sunday took 4 mg and was good for about 24 hours so I took another 4 mg today and am fine. I plan on trying 2 mg tomorrow and see if I can make it thru the day with just that. Otherwise ill take 4 mg total tomorrow too. The following 2 days I am going to take 2 mg each day as the physical shit from the oxy should have subsided by then. I just hope coming off these sub strips won't send me into wd.

I injured myself about 4 years ago in an accident. I fracture 3 ribs and have been plagued with back probs ever since. Herniated disc in my back w severe nerve pain that shoots down my leg and backside 24/7 ever since. I have been on oxy and percs for that amount of time given by my doctor for chronic pain. 60 oxy and 120 percs ea month. It's my own fault that I got addicted to them. Started off using them how they should be used and that lasted till I wasn't getting high anymore. Got to the point where my 2 scripts weren't lasting 5-6 days. After the week that those would last I'd buy 80 op's (ER) and 30 oc's (IR) to get me by. Would take 3-30's or 6-30s along with 2-3 80's a day, depending on how much $ I cld afford. I lost my job and almost my life. I am determined to beat this shit. What scares the shit outta me is knowing that my pain is still here. I called my dr and told her I'm done w the meds and do not want them anymore. I really just wanted to burn that bridge so I can force myself off of it . Unfortunately, the doctors don't tell you that they don't help you get off the meds once they have you hooked.
 
All I can do is give you a nod of encouragement. You're doing the right things to make it work. I've been where you are and it's a slippery slope using narcotics for pain and not moving on to the buzz of it. I've always found Advil worked the best for my pain outside of the narcs. If you hurt, try it but otherwise you should be OK pretty soon. Good Luck!

What I think I would do instead, if you can can cut the strips into small enough pieces, would be something like:
Tues: 3mg (or 2mg if you can handle it)
Weds: 2mg
Thurs: 1.5mg
Fri: 1mg
Sat: 0.5mg

How do you "know" your pain is still there or would be there without opioids? I have chronic pain and after getting off opioids completely my pain is actually starting to improve (not as quickly as I'd like but hey I'll take what I can get). Being on opioids long-term can cause a heightened sensitivity to pain or even pain for no real reason, so you can't go by how you feel when you're in withdrawal or anything.

Good luck and stay strong <3 You can do this.
 
I def do not have enough to last that long. In fact the wd were so bad that I had to take another dose last night of 4mg to make it thru the night. Was not my plan but I know from past experience that the worst wd's are the first 3 days. I have 4 mg left now and am holding out as long as I can. Anyone have experience with kratom? I heard it can help with the wd too if used very short term. I am in school and go back Monday. I have a lot of work to catch up on this week too. Picked now to detox because it was the only time I had a break long enough to do it. I know the pain is still there because even dosing on oxy or other opioids the pain is felt. It has never gone away since the accident. They want surgery but I have no insurance. Also, yesterday I physically felt a big pop in my lower back followed my intense pain that has been increased ever since. The same thing has happened to me in the past.
 
I found some Kratom. I'm gonna try some of that since I haven't had any of the sub strip in 24 hours. Prob won't have much effect but I'm really just trying to not feel shitty and prolong using this last 4mg strip till tomorrow.
 
Can you just go back to taking the prescribed dosages to control your pain? Since you don't want to abuse them anymore what's the problem...
