Anonymous I have been at 30 to 45 mgs a day for about a week. I have been sweating and feeling terrible for most of this time. I refuse to take more than that, only less as I don't want to make it harder.
It doesn't seem like alot and I didn't think it could creep up on me this quick. I feel so stupid and want this to be done with.

Should I just jump off? I have been a bit sick anyway from cutting everything in half previously. I have had withdrawals a couple of years ago from percocet and vicodin, but I didn't recognize it and really thought that I had the flu.
Looking back and realizing that it may have been withdrawal makes me frightened to do that again. It was terrible, but no cravings as I am probably having now because of fear only. This stuff does't even work like the percs and vics, it only takes the edge off my pain if I am lucky and doesn't give me that good feeling like I can actually cope with life, like they did. I will be done with it regardless, but I would like to know how to make it easier on my body.

11/21/2011: I jumped right off at 15mg twice a day. The first couple of days weren't as bad as I thought but I am still sweating and getting cold at this time. I will let that be a lesson to me.

Have you tried aTENS unit for your pain ? { If that applies.} #4. Have you thought about a pain mangement ?

I have had some on and off pain problems, I have pressure on my sacrum from when my ligaments got destroyed during pregnancy and birth the uterus can get wedged there and it is unbearable, I have a small pelvis and that didn't help things any. I have also had frequent joint pains and post herpetic pain from shingles.
The problem is that I had gotten to the point that I didn't need opiates except for some bad times that were unbearable. I was actually functioning well enough with aspirin or ibuprofen even though it did a number on my stomach.

I was stupid enough to try this and I just want out. First of all, it doesn't even work, secondly, I can't believe the w/d symptoms after I cut things in half when I have been taking it for this short time. Not worth it for me, so I am trying to jump it now and haven't had any today. I feel like hell, but I am determined and thank goodness it didn't give a good feeling when I took it anyway. It is just hard, cause I know how I can feel better, but that will not do.
I am just frightened about what will happen in the next couple of days and need to just tough it out I guess. My husband and friend that live with me, know and are prepared for this, that was hard to get out of the way. But I feel better about getting it off my chest. Unfortunately, I am sure that like other times, the pain I started with will be worse for a while because of quitting. :(
For the worst of it, there is an expensive operation that "might" fix my pelvic problems, but I can't afford it and know that this has failed and put others through numerous operations that just made things worse in the long run.
To the many who have taken the time to comment... thank you.Good Luck to thos who choose to drop pain meds. I wish for you the best healthly life clear of them. For others who their pain makes their blood pressure soar or stomach ulcers or quality of life ..pretty dim... maybe this isn"t the time for you. Everyday is a new day..it is your.. gift... live , love , laugh !
