I can attest to the fact oxy is pure hell when your out.
Went from 30 5mg tabs a month to 180, all through the VA for 6 plus years.
30mg a day is not alot compared to what others were getting.
Quit cold turkey Nov 2016, pure hell for 3 to 4 weeks.
The wife said get back on them your fine with them, I told her when im out it's pure fkn hell not taking another.
Once I made my decision all the docs agreed, stay the course you just need to calm fk the down and quit treating staff/family like shit while detoxing.
Get off oxy/hydro asap

Even doing a slow taper (~5 months) was shit for me. I was up to 80mg hydrocodone/day (8x 10/325) and, on particularly painful days, 8mg Dilaudid 2-3 a day (this was on top of 3600mg gabapentin and 60mg cymbalta for nerve pain). 80-70mg and then 70-60mg (1 week per drop) wasn't too terrible, but was by no means fun, but once I got down to about 50mg I had to go 5 at a time. Once down to 25mg or so I would go 2 weeks per drop because it started getting SO rough. By the end of it all (December 2019) I was still dope sick for a week. There was definitely still depression, insomnia, and a drastic increase in pain, but I'd do it all again. Unfortunately I'm still on max gabapentin and cymbalta.
****ing nasty stuff, man. I might be regarded as nothing more than a troll, and not a particularly good one, but I'm definitely here for anyone struggling with drug addiction or alcoholism.
