From everything I know and have seen from others trying to get off the heavy meds without help, it is very hard on your body. Please be careful and ask your doctor about the 'in between' drug, which I've been told is not addictive, just helps your body adjust to the reduction in narcotics. If he doesn't know about it, then find someone who does.
We depend on our bodies for so much...I tend to be kind to mine, or at least not abuse it if possible  I want it to last as long as possible, because I have experienced what happens when I treat it badly 
I'm glad you are feeling better and hope you continue on the uphill climb!
