We might die from all the medication, But we sure
ill make a long story short, never had wds for the past 9 months of using, started using more frequently like every day for 2 weeks, BOOM hell of wds. I have a very high tolerance, I CAN take up to 960-1,000 mgs of hydro (CWE'D ofcourse) and still function very fine. I believe my tolerance is crucial info to add to what im about to ask.


Being that my tolerance is high and my AVERAGE dose unless im really trying to get thrashed is about 150-300 mgs.

question is I want to taper off and try using the MINIMUM amount every other day to keep the physcail wds away and hopfully lower my tolerance THAN finally lead up to hopefully quitting.

Because I am the withdrawls are alot stronger coming off a 900 + mg usage as opposed to a 20-50 mg usage? correct?


anyways, 150 mgs keeps me totally out of wds like 100% even gets my feelin real good.

what do you think is the lowest amount of mgs I can take to not even feel good I just wanna keep me body happy so I can stop getting these shit flu like symptoms.

any people on here with similar dosage? How did you do it? I have tried cold turkey like 6 times now.. Its a fail, And I couldn't find a taper plan for someone with a abnormally high dose like me? Any ideas on what I can/should try? Thanks in advance?
 
If 150mg keeps you well. Start there obviously. Then I would decrease your dose by about a third every 5-7 days. So after 5-7 days go to 100mg a day. Then 5-7 after that go to about 65mg. Then 45. Then 30 then 15. You could jump off at 15 or 30 with probably minimal discomfort if your exclusively using hydros. You will probably feel a couple days of discomfort each dose reduction but it shouldn't be horrible. Everyone is different. You may be able to decrease more or less. I've had to jump off 180-240mg daily doses of oxy a few times. And it isnt to horrible for me. I can still work and partake in all my family duties. Just dont feel 100% good luck
