I'm sorry to hear you would rather live with the Pain and 80mg 5 x a day is so much medication. How long if you don't mind me asking have you been on that reigmein and Do you take other Pain Meds?
I also take Oxycontin 80mg, about every 6-8 hours and then 20mg 6-8 hours & 2-7.5-325mg Percocet, Guess that isn't much different then your dose if you add it up. But trying to understand WHY you would rather be in Pain. I know the withdrawals and your so right they are horrendous and I would agree being at home or in a safe place to have these withdrawals is best. I get Watery eyes, Runny Nose and Vomit to no end, Sweating like I just took a Shower, Incredible feeling of being outside yourself , Slumpy and cannot move. Are you the same? Have you spoken to Your Dr. on replacing it with something else? I have never been to a Treatment center but I have tried to get off the Pills on my own and after the 1st day I had to sleep like ALOT but found my body needing it as I couldn't take the Pain and I had already been waiting 7 yrs for something to take the Pain away until I was put on Oxycontin-So I understand you more then you know, Plus I have been through almost every medication out there until Oxycontin. I don't mean to pry by asking all those questions and I am here for You to talk to if You'd like, Not to many honest people out there who take this medication and I would really enjoy talking and making a New friend.
