Thank you for your reply. But regarding your comment, she doesn't have a doctor, nor any insurance. So it looks as if we will just have to try and come up with our own method. We were just hopeing that we might have gotten some help or suggestions on this website that would have been different from various governmental agency's. And by the way, who is "we"? In any case, thankyou for you responce.

Thankyou for your reply. I've been away from home to deal with some medical issues concerning two family members, and I've just now accessed my email. The informatin that I am looking for is for a good friend, and she uses about 120 mgs a day and her method of use is snorting. We've devised a makeshift method that hasn't been started yet, due to the present circumstances. Some of which are extenuating and some for the obvious reasons. If you have any suggestions they would be greatly appreciated. In any case, thank you for your responce. :)

This is something you need to talk with your doctor about.  We dont give out taper schedules here as we dont know if there are any underlying medical conditions.........sara

depends how much you are taking and how often. Also if you take them normal or snort any of them. I was on oxycodone and made my dr. take me off of it after a few months because I knew it was f*cking with me and if I didn't go down to somthing not so strong I would have a huge problem. How long have you been using them?
