Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It is better to taper oxycodon down before stopping. You can decrease on 20 mg decrements each week before completely stopping it.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Lekshmi Rita Venugopal
