Pain meds: Hopefully you are doing this under your doctors supervision. That being said, continue to follow your doctors supervision to decrease your medications as we have no idea what you are being treated for or what dose of the medication you are on.

Opioids: Get off Oxycontin first, then Dilaudid and then of fentanyl evidently in decreasing steps. Make it in 4-6 weeks under a doctor's supervision. The withdrawal syndrome is not to be down played.
