Hey guys,
Looks we had a good day today. I am still hanging like you Ralph at the same place I was yesterday. I have taken about 3mg right now. I agree with you that it is just mental. Just like Charlie said ... you guys are just taking what the dr prescribed. A person doesn't know any difference if that is what they are told. I don't really understand why there is so much difference though in what these drs tell the patient to take. Doesn't seem right to me.
The half life is just how much of the drug is still in our system after a certain time. I know it takes about 4 days or so to really hit bad WD from Loricets or any
Hydrocodone. This drug from what I read here says it is about 40% longer if I read correctly. So on days after that 4th or 5th day we should still have another few days to get into the bad WDs. But each of those days following, the Subs we take then also hang with us for that extra time. So if we actually stopped when the WDs started, we would theoretically have another 40% longer in days or so to go, but as we taper we still have the extra drugs in our system. The reasoning being for tapering is obvious ... to avoid the WDs. At least that is how I understand it. I saw a post that explained it really well. Seems like in the drug category, not this one on conditions. I think that is where it was.
