Hi Peter, It was easy to titrate down as the opiates made me very nauseous and dizzy on the tirzepatide. I literally halved the dose of the oxycontin every day (as full dose made me feel awful). The physical withdrawals I experienced once I stopped altogether lasted only a couple of days and consisted of some mild nights sweats, restless legs and leg cramps, insomnia and a bit of anxiety but I experienced no cravings as such. I did take 15mgs of codeine twice, 48 hrs apart to ease the cramps in that week. Sherry

That's great but there is no real discussion of the withdrawal issues. Is she claiming she could just go cold turkey or that it was easy to titrate down once she no longer had the craving?
