Hi all. I hope I am in the right category, if not, MODS, please put my thread where it belongs. Thank you.
In early February i was in a car accident. i was a passanger. Long story short, after morphine they put me oxycodone 10-20 mg every 4 hours. I helped to the point that I thought I dont need them but I was wrong, So months passedand tolerance built.I was using 40 mg 3x per day. My doc was OK with it. I never went higher than that. I noticed where it is leading me. I figured I will get hooked mentally because I got anxiety and depression. My pain is almost completely gone. It gets worse when I stop the drug but thats normal. The pain from the car crash is gone. So it is time to quit.
Cold Turkey attempts only lasted 1 day and i felt like a shit. I also take higher doeses of klonopin which I have for 10 years, for anxiety.
My doctor is no longer here and his replacement doctor has no triplicates. I went to another doctor, explained my situation and he said he will give me 120 pills x10 mg each to withdraw. No direction on how to. he even have me ordered 40 pills x10 mg each every week but i understand him and that will start on friday because I told him I have some pills left which I do.
I have 18x10mg pills left until Friday.If I take 4 pills(40 mg) sunday, monday, tuesday wednasday, and 20 mg on thursday, will that help with my withdrawal?
Would that be better than cold turkey? Hospital is out of question as i got my job recently and have family to support.
Any suggestion on how to spread these 180 mg for the next 5 days? Anything to take with it? I am 41 but I never smoked nor drank alcohol but was thinking to have a beer at evening?
Please someone help me.
PS. I will quit my benzos too but THAT will be hell. But at least I have my shrink to monitor me.
