Hi to all and thanks in advance to any advance this may be a long post so bare with me please
lol
Ok I recently decided its time to deal with my addiction to hydrocodone my addiction background as follows
I started hydrocodone after 2 knee surgerys. And ironically after my first surgery I was on Percocet 10s I took as prescribed for 2-3 months and stop ct without any withdrawls as I can remember, but at that time I did remember hating the meds so it could have been that ...fast foward a year and a half another knee surgery I was prescribed hydrcodone 10s took 10s for a month 7.5 for a month and then 5 s for a month as recommend. But this go round I do remember saying hay I love how this makes me feel and that's were it all started. So after all my scripts ran out I started buying meds off of people and using but not immediately I remember going at least 4 months without popping pills, because initially I didn't know where to get them I was just mad a few days and I think I used alcohol as a substitute but hated it...now once I started finding hook ups I started indulging in popping pills on the reg (10/2012). Now for two months I popped pills as much as I could get them so I would probably go a few days without and my max mg a day would be between 40-50mg.....then in January 2013 I got a pretty consistent supply so from jan-April it was an everyday 40-50mg habit..My supplier stop answering the phone one day and I couldn't get my next batch and that's when it hit me WITHDRAWL !!!! Now at the time I didn't know wth was going on I just knew I couldn't get any pills and felt like you know ... So I researched found out what I was going through and had to do it cold turkey it took about 5-7 days before I was about 70% and I just happend to be off work so it was all good ..I vowed as we all do to never go there again ...well needless to say I went all the way until October 2013 sober and then I ran across something that suggested u could use and not get addicted and go through withdrawl if u use carefully and not consecutively .Well that worked out for about a month buy mid November 2013 I was all the way in and have been since. As of today my habit is ranging from 35-65 a day and I WANT OUT !!for good this time......sorry for the long post but I like to lay everything on the table. A day ago I went 32 hours no meds until this mourning had a meeting at 930 am so I caved and popped 15 mg to make it through this meeting..Now here's the question I'm working and I have a good paying sales job I can't abandon at the moment so this go round I'm wondering can I taper down and still be fictional,and if I do I'm wondering how so....I was thinking I could do 10mg a day but someone said that was to fast and it would still have bad withdrawl so they suggested 10mg a week what do you guys think? also as far as my schedule of taking pills sould I alter that as well while tapering cause usually what I do is take 15-20mg between11am-1pm somewhere in there,then maybe a afternoon shoot 15-20mg between 3pm-5pm then evening of course same dose between 8pm-9pm....now should I taper down on this schedule or go to a more traditional every 4-6 hour schedule your advice please !!!! Oan I don't have any access to any benzo scripts and don't want to try any while going through my opiate withdrawl I know people that have benzo addictions and I don't even wanna put that in me opiates are kicking my $&& enuff but thanks guys look foward to your comments
