So this is not my first time here, reading posts to pass time while suffering through oxy withdrawal. I am currently on day one with no oxy. Not because I don't want it. But because I moved to a new city and don't have a source. Also my bf wants to quit because he starts school in 10 days. So I am supporting his efforts. I have been doing 30- 150mg per day for about 8 months. Last time I quit was 3 months in cold turkey. Was hell on earth for 5 days. All the usual symptoms, anyone reading this has heard it before and I was no different. Quit for a month then decided I could use recreationally and control it. Ha. So here I am again. This time I am using codiene that I have aquired OTC and done CWE to get through. I am fully aware that I am replacing one opiate for another. The "plan" is to come off the oxy and taper the codiene to avoid the hell I suffered last time. From the research I have done codiene being a weak opiate is easier to taper and w/d from. So I had 100mg when I woke up at 10 am and another 100mg at 1:30 when I started to feel like shit. I am going to try and keep days 1-3 at approx 500mg. Then taper down 100 mg per day by decreasing each dose by 20mgs. Does this sound reasonable to anyone with experience? Also at what point should I cold turkey off the codiene. I was thinking when I am down to less than 100 mg per day? Any and all advice or encouragement is appreciated. Also bf is still sleeping, trying to avoid facing the inevitable. It's quarter to 4 here.
