I am new to these boards and I am interested in quitting my pill addiction because it is time. I have tried ct and just cannot deal with the pain so I am planning to taper off like you suggested. My only question to you is this: I am taking 100mg hydro a day, sometimes 120mg but more like 10 pills (10mg each) and I know you mentioned dividing the number of pills by the hours in the day but since I can usually sleep through the night, I do not plan on waking up to take the dose needed. Should I take more during my waking hours to equal my total pill intake or what? I usually take them as follows: 3 in the morning so I can be well, and then 4 more twice throughout the day. Usually by 2 or 3pm I will take 4 and then again before bed around 9 or 10 I will take 4 more. I know that equals 11 so sometimes I take 3 at night. I sort of depends. I am trying to watch my intake of APAP so I even go so far as to cut them with a cold water extraction. I know, it's gotten bad and I am getting scared. No one knows that I take these pills regularly. I am afraid to say anything. I just want to be free of them. I find myself thinking about the pills ALL DAY LONG. I do know what wd feels like so I am so afraid of that. I have restless legs as it is and it becomes unbearable when I am going ct. I do have a script for Klonopin that I NEVER take. I got it a lonf time ago because of my ridiculous and irrational fear of flying. I am not a big fan of the way they make me feel but I have read on here that they can help me as well. If you can help me in any way, I would so appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks so much. This is the first time I have ever told anyone about my addition. It feels interesting to admit I actually do have a problem. Wow.
