Guest guest Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 Hi Guys, Recently saw my Primary Care who gave me a hard time about the oxycodone and Gabapentin I take (prescribed by my physiatrist). She told me I looked like hell (I barely sleep, duh!) and wasn't as sharp/aware as I used to be. Well, it upset me and I cursed her out good when I got back in my car, but it stuck with me. I'd recently become aware of some serious memory losses and had been considering how I could change my meds. When I saw my physiatrist later that week I told her about the fuzzy head and memory problem so we decreased my oxycodone with the intent of starting a slow taper to the lowest point possible. Well, I couldn't stick to the new dosage and ran out 4 days early. Basically, when I knew I couldn't make it to the end of the month I tapered very fast. No withdrawals as I did it, but today I have none and am sort of scared. Scared of the pain and scared of the withdrawal. I keep promising my husband I'll go back to physical therapy and here's another week I won't be able to. I might only be able to lay on the couch with my computer watching tv and trying to distract myself. Sigh. And, by the way, the email I get every day from this group is something I look forward to. Thanks for being there guys. I might check in with you the next few days to let you know how it goes. Hope that's ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
