this sound like a really fast taper, but i do understand not wanting to get more. the temptation is just too strong if you have a lot of pills. my hubby has norco too, and it is really hard not to take some, but i don't want to go through this again. just get ready for a roller coaster ride, and keep on checking in here. prayer helps too. you can do it!!

Hi Lucy:
Thanks for the response. I have tried the drawn out taper and it never works that is why I am opting for a fast one. I am going to feel like **** if I go cold turkey so I figured if I did a quick one week taper that it would cushion the body a little. I sure hope so! I believe in the power of prayer also and plan to spend a lot of time doing it in the next couple of weeks starting Monday. The Monday I go to zero my husband and younger son are going to camp for a week so I will be home with my older son (16) and I am going to tell him I have the summer flu and just pamper myself and watch a lot of movies and order in food for him. I don't think I will feel like eating much. Is there any other comfort meds that I should need. I was thinking of getting some sleep md but I haven't tried it before and I don't know how well it works. Take care and God Bless.

Yes, you can do it if you want to badly enough. Maybe you should have your doctor work with you though, on the tapering dosages, etc. It might take longer considering the amounts you've been taking.

tapering like that is better than full blown CT but is going to be tough.
Hi!I'm glad to hear you are going to quit this miserable drug.I started a taper plan myself today.I have only done c/t in the past.It was tough but i did it.
I was reading your post and you said the depression was tough.I agree and that is what usually makes me relapse.not the crave.Try to remember that it is the drug playing with your mind making you depressed.take care of your self and keep us posted on your progress as i will also.Good Luck and God Bless.Bruce
