Ok they should be making you stop them slowly .. This drung is like smack, so slowly slowly you need to be taken off it , they can supply a different drug that helps with the withdrawals of this drug.
Ask your doctor for these options , I am lucky considering all of my medications are opids I should have the same trouble but you learn that when you need to uo your dose so to speak its best to ask your doctor for an alternative to what you are on example - oxycontin can be swapped for Norspan patches or Jurnista , then after a few months you can go back on to your medication without increase.
As it is your doctor whom has prescribed this to you he is also responcible helping you get off it. Its a shit drug and very addictive as are all opids they why you really need to use other pain management techniques, as drugs often are only a band aid treatment especially with chronic pain.
Good luck :) Do not give up , the Vitamin Niacin helps relieve addictive problems so keep that in mind ..

Jurnista is pretty new so its like on order base no chemists stock it, so if you get put on it make sure you have 3 days worth of other medications until it kicks in fully ..
