Okay so 2 weeks before Christmas I was using hydrocodone everyday at about 40-50 Mgs a day. The last time I used hydrocodone was on Christmas day. I stopped using hydro on the 26 and have not used it since in hopes to take my tolerance down a bit. Because as some of you know, hydro gets pretty expensive at higher doses. Anyways back to my question, tomorrow I'm back in school and plan to start using again because it helps me get my work done/makes me more social/ etc. my question is how much do you think my tolerance went down? What would be a god dose to feel a good buzz after an 14 day bereak?
I'm hopefully trying to get back to my regular 20mg dose but I know I will not be able to get there after knowing what 50mgs feel like.

Thanks in advance - Ope
I'm sorry if this was posted in the wrong section!
 
Moved to BDD.

Start much lower than you would normally and work your way up, you might just find your tolerance dropped a little more than you thought.
 
That is alright.

25-30mgs sounds good. Try to keep your use less frequent, otherwise your tolerance will be back to 40-50mg in no time. I know that whenever I take a break, the first high is really good, and can be achieved at a lower dose than normal, but if I use the next day, my tolerance is close to being back to what it was, and by day 3 it is back to what it was.

I recommend using 2 times a week at the most. That seems to be the best way to keep your tolerance in check, and is still enough times to use for someone that wished to use often.
 
I used hydrocodone for over a year for back pain, between 20 & 30mgs a day & then stopped for 7 days & then popped 15mgs & it felt awesome.........almost like that 1st time but not quite as good.............but it didnt take long to get back up to 30mgs again...........

You should start back up with 25mgs.....................
