Hi - sorry for your discomfort. Have you considered Suboxone? You can get thru the withdrawal w/o any discomfort and then wean off of the sub quickly (10-15 days) and you'll feel pretty good. That's how it worked for me. Some people stay on the Suboxone longer. If you have to work thru withdrawals, then that's the only route I can think of that will work. I couldn't hardly get out of bed when in withdrawal, let alone work or do anything like visiting customers. Good Luck
Sorry you have not had any replies to your post yet. Weekends are slow, but I can assure you that there are many wonderful people on this site that will respond. Please keep monitoring your question.
It appears you are new to the site. Your questions are similar to other new visitors to this site, and my very best suggestion to you is to stay on this site, read a lot of posts, post additional questions, and to learn all about the situation you are in. After awhile you will make decisions on the best course of action for YOU, and develop a plan.
On the right of this page, under most viewed health pages, you will find some answers, like the Thomas Recipe and PAWS (post acute withdrawal symptoms).
Please stay on this site, learn, and see how much support from the members here can mean so much in regard to your success in getting off the oxys.
My best to you,

Hi,
I used pain killers and more than you, but I didn't do a taper. I tried, but failed too many times.
There are people here familiar w/both oxy and taper. Weekends are slower than weekdays, so hang around and someone better than me can help.
To answer your question about the runny nose. Yes, normal, then you'll get a drip that will make you cough & sneeze. Use cough drops.
For the legs, hot baths, bananas, heating blanket or heating pad, or hot or menthol rubs. Don't laugh at this, b/c you're a man, but if you have a wife or girlfriend, ask for some knee highs or panty hose. Put some hot or menthol rub, drape w/tissue and put on hose. It'll keep your legs warm & helf aches.
These symptoms will go away in just a few days. Do you have the big D, or the anxiety? How's your sleep?
