See below: While I understand your frustrations, I agree with Dr. Killian. Additionally, your communication with your provider is imperative to your treatment outcomes, even if s/he didn't prescribe the pills. Good Luck!

Why need to taper?: Roxycodone, aka blues, OxyIR, roxies, roxy, is an opiate derived narcotic pain reliever, similar to oxycodone aka, hillbilly heroin. If you are asking how to taper its usage and won't go to a Dr bec they aren't prescription, then my best advice to you would be to go to rehab, as i can think of no other reason you won't go to a Dr and want to taper. Do the right thing and be safe.
