Hi Jen, yes on the taper if you can do it.  I was one of the people that had to go to formal detox.  If I had 180 pills, I would always, "put off" the taper until ~~~ of course it was too late!  I would go and get my script and feel like it was christmas time for a couple of days and then... well you might know the rest... Maybe you could give the pills to your husband and forget the test?  Just a suggestion... maybe with a written contract?  I dunno!  I just know I would like you to win.. below I have saved in Word and will paste it for you in hope you can get something out of it.


It’s good to come clean with your doc concerning your desire to get off.  Ask him to prescribe clonidine, (not klonopinKlonopin

Drug-induced hypertension they are very powerful ….. kinda like heroinDrug abuse in a pill and just as hard to get off once you attain the, "addicted" status.

omg, I know exactly what you mean about it being Christmas time when you pick up your Rx.  i would be driving there with a smile on my faceFace pain just KNOWING i was going to get my fix.  i would run to the car, barely able to wait to even get inside the car to open the bottle and eat a handful.  then when they were gone - life was HORRIBLE.  nothing mattered.  i was miserable.  the worst cycle to keep going through.  over and over and over.  

i think it's probably a good idea to give them to hubby to hold.  i don't really need any extra stressers right now.  Lord knows i have enough.

I am going cold turkey day 3 for me and I could never taper off.  If I had 180 es pills I would not be detoxing.  Cold turkey works the best for me and is the easiest in the long run.

Right now I am pretty miserable but it will pass.  Good luck to you.

I liked the way RCS put it... if I had 180 pills, I wouldn't be detoxing.  Also I agree with her that CTAbdominal ct scan
