how to taper off oxycodone

Posted by Susan

My fiance is a taking 4/30 mg oxycodones a day. He has had two back surgeries, but cannot take the pills as prescribed. He has a history of drug abuse. He wants to taper off the oxys and get on Lyrica or Suboxone. How should he taper off them? He has been on them for about 7 years.

Thanks,

Susan

He should try taking one less pill every few days. Then every other day, then every day to taper off.

There is a natural herbal detox he may want to check out that helps bring your body and mind back into focus, to break free of his addiction during this transition.
