ROXYCODONE DOSAGES. How much is too much??

[ctbackpain]

Hi I'm new here. I hope I'm in the right spot. I am a chronic pain sufferer and have been on a combination of opiates for about 10 years now. My tolerance is through the roof and I am now taking Roxycodone 30 mg, about 15-20 a day. I was wondering if anyone else takes this much? I feel like I'm skating on really thin ice and the thing is, I can't even feel them! I was hooked on Oxycontin last year (yes, I know they're both oxycodone) and quit cold turkey. I threw up for literally two weeks and was in the worst pain I ever felt. I'm hoping to ween off of the Roxy's this time and go the Subutex route when I decide to quit. In the mean time, does anyone have any suggestions on a pain med combo that I might be able to feel a little? I think because there is absolutely no euphoric effect anymore, I tend to keep taking them thinking that they're not working. I think that I wouldn't take as many if I could "feel them". Any suggestions?
