Yes, there do seem to be quite a few of you. smile
15 mg. of Oxy 3-4X/day doesn't sound like much. Gordon was on 40 mg every 4 hrs. during the day and 60 mg. every 4 yrs. at night, and this was on the advice of the pain management Dr. The highest daily total dose he took was 300 mg. He's now down to 5 mg. 4X/day and will stay there until he's off the patch (now at 12 mcg. - it comes off tomorrow night). I think he must have had either a very low tolerance for pain or an incredibly high amount of pain. It's all so subjective.
I'm glad to hear you had an easier time of it, because the withdrawal is just awful.
