hi all.. new here.

been visiting this site a while now and been awsome info n ppl,so anyway trying to come off oxy habit
like many ...

been in and out of it a fair bit after 2 full knee reconstructions , im so over it , this time round my family know n im done for good (god willing) sometimes iv done CT sometimes a fast taper, habits been about 2 years on and off, was up 350 mg one stage but wasnt for long at all and droped it back down now to around the 170 mark.\

basiclly iv heard of this method of taper, 1/3 factor cut every fourth day and then keeping a steady dose for 3 to 4 days then dropping again 1/3 of the dose till u hit zero, with maybe a little discomfort the first day u drop but no hardcore w/d at all apparently.

was wondering if anyone tried this? i know there is no pain free method obviously but anything that minimises the agony is better than nothing at all we all agree ay lol...

peace, and yeah newbie here , thanks in advance
 
Right now, how much Oxy are you taking at the moment and how often? 170mg every day?

How much do you have access to, and what strength are the pills (for purposes of constructing a taper plan)?
 
Hi Rybee thanks for quick response mate, yeah 170 mg a day through out the day, atm I have the 20 mg oxycontin , lil pinkies ,got about 21 left which is enough till Monday when I c my doc again ( 3 days away ) so I'm guna have to drop to 140 mg a day tomorrow to make them last me the three days ... I also have 20 pills of 5 mg oxycodone that I have just incase .
 
Help wean

I'm new too, trying to find my way here. Has anyone used fentlyn patch or methadone pills to assit with oxycodone short release 60 mg per day for wd? Which one, how did it help? Not sure how much or how it works, any advice is appreciated. I'm unable to start my own question so I have to bump into comments so I can get help. I am talking short term use 4-5 days max. I know the dangers of both but what helped you the most. Tried ct and not happening, please understand. The doc uses tramaodol to wean, not sure if that would help either. Any good advise. I'm trying to avoid wd for the most part.
 
dont mean to be a dick here but i thought bluelight was a bit more welcoming n supportive, over 100 views and only one reply.........
oh well ...

thanks anyway, was worth a try.
 
Honestly i would taper with something of less magnitude like vicodin or norco. im currently tapering using bali kratom and ive taken one tea spoon about an hour ago and i have zero wd symptoms at all. So maybe look into that as an option. But i would use oxy for maybe a few more days then switch to something lighter
 
Or get your hands on some phenibut that will help you a lot but you have to use that in moderation. Phenibut .has some nasty nasty withdrawals worse than opiates. Anyways good luck to you friend ! Just take it one day at a time and this will be over before you know it

fair enough i get what you mean.its coz im doing a fast taper now and feeling it bad ,probably just frustrated lol, my doctor is sick n wont be back till next week so i kinda have no choice.
 
good luck tyson101 your strong you can do this! tapering down will hurt but it will be worth it eventually. one step at a time
 
thanks glitterbugz , ur words mean a lot , especially in the state im in right now :)
 
Good Luck but hopefully I'm not stating the obvious here. When I've had to taper, I would not only reduce the mg slowly but also try to add an hour (or whatever you can handle) each time. There may be a little discomfort in pushing it a bit but it does work. Be Strong~!
 
yeah thats wat i kinda do , try to push it as far as i can handle befor my next dose, the thing is my doc switched me from ir oxycodone to extended release(oxycontin) same mg, n had me on one dose in the am n one in the pm ,this apparently helps with getting used to not dosing all day long yet its still in your system so mentaling u not popping pills wen u feel like it, from there the doc then will drop the dose maybe 10 mg a week(that will take too long
) thats y i wanna try the 1/3 factor taper that iv heard about( i mentioned it above) n was wondering if it can be done and if any one tried it???
 
man the cravings are the worst, slipped up today big time, 1 day shouldnt be that bad tho ay? as long as its only one day i guess ,am i right???
