i have been on oxycodone for 15 years and i know what your saying when you miss a dose and i know its time to get off them but afraid to go through withdraws, the doctor told me not to go off them by myself cause i would have to stay in the hospital for at least 2 weeks with heart monitors cause getting off of them could cause a heart attack going through withdraws. i have rheumitoid arthritis very bad. so if you ever decide to get off of them make sure your in the hospital so you dont take the chance of a heart attack. they are very addictive thats for sure so please becareful tony
