Sorry I have not been on for awhile but I sure missed the site

I am still taking the oxy, I go to the doc Monday and I am going to tell him I would like to start a slow tapper, I am sure he will do everything he can to help me, I have a new doc and he could not get over how many meds this other doctor had me on.  So I am sure he will welcome the idea, he was not happy about giving my all my scripts on the first visit but he did.  I am going to tell he I want to start a slow tapper that I should not have to suffer because my last doctor had me on this med.  So wish me luck.  I take 5 20 mg a day.  I am going to tell him I could handle going to 80 mgs for a couple of months then down from there even if it takes me 6 months I have been on this for 4 years so 6 months is not bad, I just hope he goes along with me and a slow tapper and not a fast one.  I have been reading alot of post on here but have not posted I guess I feel bad that I did not stop in April but I am ready and we will see what the doctor says Monday.   Anyway I hope everyone is well and I wish everyone luck with there own problem.

A slow taper would be good with his help..a docs supervision is wonderful so i hope he will do it for u....if u have to taper on ur own....maybe find someone u trust to hold the pills for u....u havent quit trying and that is great...i am assuming this is oxy that u take...keep posting

Dont feel bad that you didnt stop in April. You were not ready yet and for this to work you have to be ready to do it. You are now and that is great! Good luck to you and we are all here for you. I will be rooting for you!!

It's good that your ready because that is what matters the most..I am glad you are deciding to do this and it sounds like you have a plan together..that is also very important. I do not think 6 months is so bad either..keep us posted..

It sounds like you have a pretty good doctor. I'm sure he will help you the best he can.
