hi. I have been on oxycodone for over a year for severe back pain. could not get several surgeons to confirm pain was due to cervical disc disease found on mri so postponed surgery as Long as possible. tried almost every conservative means known to man with no success and finally, reluctantly had cervical surgery. Ended up with a paralyzed right vocal cord. Anyway, I've been on 60 mg oxycodone total a day for over a year and am trying desperately to get off it. I am now down to 5 mg a day and am wondering where to go from here...I was wondering if any one knew if that was a low enough dose to jump off of or if I should go to 1/2 tab first. I was on the 10 mg a day for about 3 weeks and today was first day went down to 5 which I will continue for 3 weeks. Can I stop it after that ? or do I need to go down to 1/2 pill (2.5 mg) ? I would so appreciate any help anyone can provide realizing of course that you can only share your own experience.
thanks so very much
 
Id say your progress fucking amazes me to start, like kudos to you, ive been trying and trying and cant do it, im on heavy opiates ( 100mg morphine, 20mg oxy, 9mg hydromorphone per day amd 30mg codeine x60 extra, id only think with 5 you can ditch the oxy forsure youll recieve very mild symptoms, but nothing maybe 2-3 alcoholic beverages for a few days cant fix and then youd be in the clear, and again, congratulations for coming so far down a long road which mustve felt like walking from europe to the ends of russia, then swimming across the globe, but when determined, anyone can do anything
 
I can't thank you enough for your encouragement. believe me it wasn't easy but I am just desperate to be free. I'm gonna stay on the 5 for 2-3 weeks which sounds crazy long but when I did it faster I was just so miserable. main thing was freezing cold chills and diarrhea. I just wish I knew what to do next. Meaning stop at that dose or go lower for a time... Thanks again for your compassion, I will keep you in my prayers.
 
P.s. the mild symptoms are going to be due to the fact that any amount of oxycodone wether it be 60 or 5mg, the body accustoms and will think " where is this?" Without it, but if youre at 5 im sure you can ditch it with SLIGHT booze support but dont get into a habit of boozing, when you feel what i describe as not a craving but more of an ' ugh' feeling, thats going to be what im reffering to and thats when you can either have a beer or two, or a solid alcoholic beverage
