Tapering off Oxy

[jddancy]

I was wondering at what point do I just stop taking the oxy's?  I am down to 10 mg 2x a day and then somnetimes a 15mg for break thru.  I thought being this low I would not have this terrible feeling, especially in my legs.  I have been this low for only 2 days, and I feel like I am going to crawl out of my skin.  I am going today to get the stuff for the Thompson Recipe.  Any thoughts if I can only do it in 4 days then go back to work?  I can't take to much time off.  I know it says 4 days of  valium then the others.  ANY input would be greatly appreciated!!!

How are you doing?  Did you stop on Wednesday?  If so, how are you?  Tomorrow is my last day. Hope you are doing ok.

I am planning on stopping next weekend.  I have 3 days off and I can extend it.  I am going to get all the stuff this week.  It is raining non stop so it is hard when you just want to walk and get the feeling out of your legs.  I will add the bananas to my list too.  Thanks!

   Thomas recipe helps to lessen the w/ds. It does not stop them. If you want this over. Quit taking them. It still will be over usually in 4-5 day, but there is no guarantee. I wasn't miserable, but I didn't function well for a week and a half. Hot moist heat for legs & or Hot baths with Epsom salts. Eat lots of bananas to help with potassium and helps fight the runs. Drink lots of fluids, Gatorade too. Walking helps too.

Did you do the Thompson Recipe?  Disabled with pain?  Depression??  I do realize it is the control over our bodies.  I have had 2 babies and lamaze breathing is good to remember.  At times my legs feel like I want to kick them rapidly but I try to lay there and talk myself down.  I am so scared to completely get off,  I have to though.  I am almost out of pills and my insurance ended.

i hate to say but this is day six for me already but i am disabled for now... i got down to 2 40's a day b4 i decided it's time but reading all the posts are depressing for me because i feel like it is about over but everyone else is 14 days to months of withdrawal symptoms. it's all about our control over our bodies. i would tell myself this is the way that i should feel and my sweats would not last long at all. i'm still sneezing but not hurting as much as i did while taking the meds...
