I've recently tapered from 120 of oxy a day (snorting) to 80 mg of oxy a day this is my fourth day at this dose and I plan on maintaining it at this dosage until Sunday. Come Monday I'm going to quit. I just got my wisdom teeth out today and got a bunch of percs I plan on takin then on Monday starting at 4 then next day 3 then next day 2 then next day 1 then next day a half. Then I will not take any opiates at all. I also have 29 10mg Valium and 8 15mg oxazepam and 3 0.5mg clonazepam which I'm goin to use to help me with anxiety and sleeping issues when I'm going through withdrawal.

Does this seem like a good plan? Or would it be better to just drop from 80 a day to nothin or stick with the plan of an 80 then dropping to a couple percs then nothing? Input please
 
I'd definitely use your percs if you have got your wisdom tooth out, is it still painful??

Whether it is or not, using percs to come down a little bit more softly over a few days doesn't sound unreasonable at all to me. Not that it is something I have done, I hasten to add, but it makes sense to me. It's still going to sting I'd imagine so it's good to use what you can to help. Good luck :)
 
Well I got them out this morning and they don't really hurt I've been icing them a ton and eating freezes and shit.. not to mention I'm on an 80 of oxy a day so I ended up taking half a perc only cuz I don't want my tolerance to increase or anything..

Okay because I'm thinking 1 of 2 things:
1. taking the perc's will end up prolonging the withdrawal symptoms, which will make them last long so i might as well just go cold turkey
OR
2. taking the perc's will ease the withdrawal symptoms and make them easier to deal with

so which one is it?
 
Well.. both. Shorter but more intense or more drawn out but less intense. That is my take on it, but I've never tried it personally so will see if anyone else has some input or personal experience :)
 
Thanks for your input it's appreciated..
anyone with personal experience or relevant information they would like to share would be appreciated
