I had surgery on my back almost 3 years past. I was put on OxyContin and Oxycodone for lingering pain. Somewhere along the line my back felt better but i kept getting refills. I'd run out early all the time because I was abusing them. I'd tell them my back felt worse and they'd up the dosage.
After a while I was prescribed 80 mg OxyContin twice daily and 5 mg oxycodone 2 pills every four hours. I abused those as well and on some days was taking over 400mg a day.
My insurance changed and they'd no longer cover that pain med so I was switched to 100mg moriphine ER twice daily with 15mg IR 1 every 4 hours.
Now I'm finally ready to quit. I tried tapering myself down. I got down to 1 100mg pill every 36 hours. After they were gone I took 2 15s 8 hours apart. Waited twelve more hours took 1 15 mg pill and now I'm all out.
I'm white knuckling this at home, but someone told me it was really stupid and that the amount I was on and how long meant I needed to detox with doctors because I was at risk of dying. I'm reluctant to go the hospital. I'm a single parent of a 15 year old and I don't want to shame him. On the other hand I don't want to leave him without a father either.
