I've been on oxycodone for about 5 years for abdominal adhesions (10 pills per day). I finally found someone to remove the adhesions, and am now trying to get off the oxy. I've heard that I should slowly reduce the amount I'm taking over a long period - up to a year, in fact. My doctor is trying to wean me quicker (6 pills a day for a week, 5 pills a day, 4 pills and so on), but I can not seem to get lower than the 6 pills a day without nasty side effects. I work so it is hard to deal with withdrawal symptoms at the office. I need advice - a second opinion. Any suggestions?
