As many of you have seen a few of my recent posts, ive been around the opiates and w/d pretty regularly. i have consistently been taking about 6-7 norcos hydros (10/325) for about 10 months.. the past week and a half i have been taking 20mg a day of hydro compared to my usual 60-70mg (a day).. and felt fine, still got a little buzz which tells me i have a chance at getting thru this.. i took my last dose this morning of 10 mg and before that was midday the previous. so far ive got some vitamins and lope ib and advil ill touch back in as soon as i can, i just wanted to post it now as i may/may not come into work tomorrow.. also read about Kratom? your thoughts?

i know my abuse/addiction is light-ish but still tough, ill let you know how it goes

thanks
 
I wouldn't think that after 10 months of 60-70 mg/day followed directly by 10 days of 20mg/day of hydrocodone, that there would be any appreciable w/d. At that point, physical dependency isn't much of an issue. There might be psych issues in play but actual withdrawal symptoms should be very minor, if any are present at all, IME.

I'd disagree strongly, going by my anecdotal experience.

10 months of 70mg a day is definitely enough to feel sick, not suicide sick, but sick none the less.

Well, that's the thing I guess, everyone is different. My anecdotal experience was several years at slightly higher than that use pattern resulting in nothing but minor symptoms, particularly compared to what I experienced later. That said, I've heard before that any w/d sucks and I can believe that. Just tryin to keep it real. Today, I wish I could come off at 20mg/day of hydro for 10 straight days, I'd take it a thousand times and be happy.
 
Just got out of the jacuzzi which I feel fine still but have taken lope a couple times today and just took 10mg before I hit the sack now
 
You can still benefit by tapering down to half of a 10mg Norco or even a quarter of it (half of a 5mg Vicodin), but if you feel a need to catch a buzz every time you dose, then CT is the way to do it, man. Best of luck, achkeet looys for even getting this far. ;)
 
Congrats on having the will power to execute a rather difficult plan: actually tapering down on opiates. Just understand that because you haven't moved up the opiate chain, you have the opportunity to exert some influence and will power over your current situation. Get any deeper in or go any further as far as stronger opiates and you will quickly find how little will power means to opiate addiction.

Congrats on your plan so far and good luck.
 
Thanks, I dunno if lope is going to stretch out the w/d or if my tolerance is a bit low but I woke up maybe 3am with a dry mouth and that was pretty much it it's now 630 and I feel good..
 
I don't think lope extends the w/d because it doesn't do much (if anything) to the receptors in the brain. The body's receptors? Anyone's guess there.
 
I commend you for making the decision to end your addiction. It takes serious guts to realize you have a problem, accepting it and then knowing what you have to do to get into recovery. CT isn't going to be easy, and I think that you're being incredibly courageous in taking it upon yourself to get clean. We're all here to support you if you need help. PM me if you need any support. I'm here for ya.
 
I don't understand are you w/d without any opioids

or

tapering

sorry if I don't understand good luck !!!!!!!!
 
Congratulations man. Keep up the good work!

I used hydros for years whenever I could, usually daily, with no appreciable w/d like the other guy mentioned. That said, I was just a kid, and I eventually graduated to the big boy league of opioids. Wish I would have stopped when you have OP. Good job.
 
thanks ya i used some multi vitas and imodium but didnt need a whole lot, maybe mentally i made myself aware that it could be worse, quitting something like oc or heroin or higher amounts, which the mental part probably helped.. the jacuzzi was a good help too...

most importantly i went to the casino a few times and when i was on the blackjack table winning/losing(a little) i wasnt thinking about w/d or buying or anything 100% out of my mind lol try it
