If you wanted to continue with the oxycodone taper you could try using percocet (5mg oxycodone/500 tylenol). They are not time released, but it is a lower dosage of oxy. Just a thought.

I'm doing OK... now taking 1/2 regular strength vicodin just a few times a day. The symptoms are VERY mild... just a little headache/flu like symptoms... but very mild. I guess it will be MUCH, MUCH easier than last time. I still am completely spent and uncomfortable at the end of the day. I don't know if it will be OK to be all the way off the pain meds... we'll see. (Note that I'm still taking Voltaren and don't expect to stop the NSAIDs... I was never able to leave that behind after my lumbar surgery almost 7 years ago.)

leaving opiates turned out to easy... but still on roller coaster. Still OK most mornings... not great most nights... pretty bad some nights (like now!)
