So I have been using opiates for about 7 years. I started with low doses of hydrocodone and worked my way up to 50-70 mg per day of oxy for the past few years. I'm so tired of this life and being a slave to these pills. I have a great job, home, car the works but fear that because I have been on pills for so long that I will not be able to keep up at work or home with the same enthusiasm as before. Last week I decided to get serious about tapering as I have tried cold turkey and couldn't make it past one day or night. So in the past 7 days I have gotten myself down to 20 mg of hydrocodone and made it through yesterday/night with 12.5 mg. I only have another day worth of hydro so I guess I'm so seeing if I will need to continue tapering so I can continue to work and be mom or if I should jump? The worst part for me is the rls and not sleeping. I have ambient and xanax, neither help and I do not want to over use the xanax.
