I've been taking 10mg of oxycodone every 4-6 hours for the past 3 months (I had a series of 2 major surgeries in Feb). My doctor says it's ok to stop taking it now - but how do I do it without experiencing withdrawal symptoms? I tried going cold turkey a few days ago and it was terrible!! I was anxious, stressed out, had cold sweats, rapid heart beat and I couldn't sleep at all.
So what should I do? I think I should cut back slowly a bit each day - but how quickly can I do it wouthout having terrible withdrawal symptoms? My goal is to be copletely off the medication in about 6 days (because I'm soo... tired of being constipated all the time). Any tips, suggestions or ideas for how to taper it off is much appreciated.
