So basically I'm trying to figure if tapering is worth it. So first question I have is...Does the amount of dope used daily effect your withdrawals? As in, is tapering worth it?
If I'm using XX bags a day will tapering down to X bags make any difference in the intensity of withdrawals? I can taper I've done it before but wasn't as serious about quitting as I am now. Trying To figure out if i should start my detox now cold turkey off an XX bags a day habit or taper over the next few weeks and then go cold turkey.
And trust me I know it's going to suck either way, I'm not naive to that fact. I've been through this more times than I care to admit but haven't wanted to be sober this bad ever in my life.
You may also have advice about the consistency of dope and how you can't taper exactly. I get that but my gear is quite consistent and know my doses quite well.

Thanks in advance for the help!​
 
Tapering down from say 1.5 grams to half that .75 grams doesn't make much difference. If you taper down to .25 or .1grams then it definitely makes the w/d less severe. Try to get to less then .1 grams. Then it makes a big difference imo.
Good luck.
