My broken bones r healed. want to quit roxycodone. should i taper or quit cold turkey using clonidine?

Slow taper: you did. It state how long you took the oxycodone, but you should taper slowly to avoid withdrawal. Stop,one pill every other day, or start using half tablets, assuming that you have the short acting type
