You will get used to 75mg again but it will take time. You around just about halving your dose and there is some tolerance so it is likely miserable for you, sorry to hear about that. If you have the means to get more pills I'd taper more slowly. This is why I couldn't taper, personally, apart from lack of restraint. My tolerance was extreme compared to what I was scripted (at least an order of magnitude higher, I would say 10 to 20 times higher than the dose I was prescribed I would be using. Even more when heroin was involved. I would be tapering great, but then start running out. Hit withdrawal hard, freak out in cold turkey, and get a hit as soon as I can manage to. If I cold turkey, I get through the shit fast. The pain is over fast, the days do go by. Only takes 10 to 20 days for me to feel great again.
I just finished my second day. Cold turkey is awful feeling, but I have been staying active this time. I refuse to lay in bed as my body decays and I grow older each day, but all I can really do is trek. I get out walking in the snowy nice weather each day. The cold weather is comforting since the windchill and stuff distracts me from the feeling that the bones in my upper arms are being gnawed and chewed away at by bugs. Fuckign skin crawling, muscle aches, extreme pain in my spine, depression... I almost got fired today as I slept through my shift. I never do shit like that normally. Got restless legs like crazy but that isn't so bad I find as it is just irritating; not physical agony like the full body muscles aches. That is my worse symptom. Makes me feel like I'm burning alive.
To think, a couple weeks ago I had none of this whatsoever in my life. I was waking up each day feeling great, little stressed and explosive but that is normal for me. Tapering is okay it is miserable but cold turkey is a fucking nightmare. Not at first - I am only two days in and it has been alright. But, I can see myself bedridden for a day or two coming up. Days 3 - 10 are the worst for me since the withdrawal is ongoing and the lack of nutrition, the anhedonia really gets to me and I start freaking out. I expect to start crying uncontrollably; I have been too braindead to do so as of yet.
Not having cravings. Why would I, when I felt so great a couple weeks ago and was not dealing with this utter nonsense. Got out today for a few hours to the health food store and learned a lot about nutrition. Got a plant-based omega 3 fatty acid oil on sale, with lots of EPA and DHA in it. And doesn't taste like fish oil more like wheatgrass or something. Awesome stuff and I shouldn't be having fish oil as I am becoming more and more strictly vegetarian with my diet.
Suffering a lot. I was really high though and pain free. Can't forget about why I feel like such shit. This is shit though. I was off it for so long I am not used to being sick like this at all let alone fucking miserable cold turkey. At least when I was tapering and dosing short acting opioids/opiates every 12 hours, I would have a little relief to look forward to. I have nothing but a week of hell ahead of me.
