Tapering off the meds

I have begun my tapering off of the Oxycodone and Vistral that I have been on for 5 months. I have gone from taking 15mg every 3 hours (120 tablets per week) to 10mg every 4 hours (100 tablets per week). I have to honestly say that there are times that I feel like I am going crazy. My skin crawls and sometimes my body "constricts" wanting the Oxycodone. I have been having night sweats and chills along with starting to awaken every 3 hours with my body aching. I know that it will get better as time goes along but it is a really difficult ordeal right now. I have also stopped the Neurotin and the Clorazipate too which probably is making things harder but it needs to be done. This next perscription will be 90 tablets so a slow taper it will be.

Well my weight is pretty high from the non activity the last 5 months and it is stressing me out. I am going to StayFit in the morning to begin a walk/run routine to begin back. I am starting physical therapy Tuesday 3 times a week for 4 weeks and know that will also get me on the road to recovery. As my friend Bonnie said "baby steps" and I think I'll use that as my mantra for right now.
All of the love and support that I get from Angela, family, friends and customers helps. I hope that those of you who deal with me on a personal level have a understanding of what I am going through and can continue with your help and patience.
