I’ve been tapering my dose of dilauded the last 2 months, I’ve dropped it down to 25% of what it used to be, so I’m thrilled about that.

To make this easy I’m gonna say I take Zmg whenever I feel withdrawals coming on (usually every 3-4 hours)

My question is: should I take a higher dose than normal before bed, since I sleep 6-8 hours? I know that helps me wake up normal but I don’t wanna take extra cuz I’m trying to get my body used to the smaller dose (Z mg)

I can get time released dilaudid (hydromorph contin) and try those before bed, but I don’t know how much to take?

For those that have tapered, what do you do when you sleep?
Do you take extra?
Do you take time released pills (and if so, how much do you take? Normal dose? 2x normal dose with time released versions ?)

I don’t want to wake up in WD everyday, cuz once I get into WD i have to take almost 2x my normal (2Z) dose to get normal...

Thanks to all who reply, and if your suggestion contains dose suggestions , just use Z as much dose, such as “take 1.5 x Z”
