Oxycodone plus extras

[crizzle]

ok swim has been having trouble with oc's and ritalin/adderall over the past few months. recently swim almost overcame the withdrawels that came along with 2-3 weeks of 200mg/day oc and some H in between with about 100-200mg dat ritalin. that was horrible. after 3 days swim decided to wean off using a little rit and oc and was down to 10mg oc 2x/day and then somehow now again he is stuck. this time its not as bas, though. swim uses about 80mg oc per day and 60-100mg ritalin. what are swims options for dealing with the withdrawals? in exactly one month swim is starting a VERY important job just out of college and was one of a few selected out of many. he is not sure what is the major componant of the withdrawals, which are mainly depression, extreme fatigue, tough to get out of bed, disoriented as a result of the fatigue, looks like a disaster unless swim takes some oc. these are the main issues.

swim has decided to go to meetings, he did this before and was clean for over 3 years of all drugs and alcohol. of course he had to test the waters and after a few nights of drinking he was doing heroin and coke. anyway what do you guys think the best way to deal with this is? swim is low on cash but can make it work. ocs run around here for about 20-30 dollard per 40mg, but the $30 tabs are much more accessible. also has access to hdrocodone and a script for ritalin which he is trying to sell to get money and get away from it.

ok so my main questions are (i know im all over the place)-
can swim wean himself off ofthe stuff?
if so what schedule?
also how bad do you think those dosages are that he was taking?
other input?
***ps- suboxone treatment is not going to happen, unless swims primary care physician can prescribe it are his neurologist***

thank you so much for all your advice, swim will be at a meeting tomorrow night, wish him luck.
