Hi.
I have been on Vicodin's for about 7 years off and on..
I have tapered for months now to about 2-500 mg. a day..
today I am hoping to do one.. but I already feel like I am in Withdrawals?
Would this be correct?
last time I took one was yesterday a 500 mg at 3pm..
Do I need Subs? Or is this normal and going to 1 500 or 2 500 are low ..even if it has been for years?

Thanks...any help would be great..

Hi plain, yes you are probably feeling the Withdrawls. IF I were you I would jump off to zero. You are going to feel the WD's but you are right there. If you have tapered to 1 or 2 pills a day, that in and of itself is AWESOME . How much were you taking? You are going to go thru some wd because your body is not used to NOT having opiates streaming through it. But because you tapered it should not be as bad. Get the ingrediants for the Thomas recipe, someone will put it up or look around on the different threads and you will see it.Let us know what we can do to help. CA

Thanks Caughtagain..
it just depends.. I have always tried to stay below the 4000 mark of the Tylenol.. so probably at any one time I have been at 5 or 6 750's...
I also drink.. so although I know what I'm doing is wrong.. I do it anyhow..
Now I'm just tired of taking them.. but scared to feel like this and probably worse..for weeks!!!
ugh.
Thanks...
I'll keep checking here..
seems like a lot of people get clean and kind of use this as their sounding board.. maybe I will too.
Can't tell the family.. or friends..

ya you're almost there. 1 or 2 500 vicodins is like the least amount of opiates you can take unless you take tylenol 3s. so if you were taking more than you should be in some withdrawal. don't get on subs, if you're almost ok on that low an ammount you can probably just quit.... not trying to make it sound easy, but thats probalby your best bet

Plain, the others are right. Just get off ASAP, and get it over with. You are not an ideal candidate for subs. It would be soooo much easier to be in withdrawal for a few days than going on suboxone. You would have to be in withdrawal anyway to start subs. Just my opinion !
