So some here say taper and some say cold turkey, I tried to taper and doc said I just prolonged my suffering and I agree so I just said **** it and stopped.

7: I can not address the craving part thank God I have none.

But there is a wealth of knowledge here and some can help with that.

As bad a you feel going through WD I have to ask how bad will you feel if you keep taking the pills?

Good luck.

I think i can offer you some advice on tapering. I have been addicted to painkillers off and on, but pretty much on, for about 5 years. it started when i was sixteen, and i was depressed at boarding schoolPreschooler development

Back strain treatment to tapering". Second of all, it prolongs the withdrawalsDelirium tremens. if you taper over, say, a month, then you will have some sort of withdrawalsDelirium tremens for that whole month. granted, they wont be as strong as cold turkey, but they will last for as long as you are tapering. If you go cold turkey, the worst should be over in three to four days, and the rest will be the mentalMental retardation

I agree with Goldie as far as the anti-depressant and it is different from the opiates like vicodinVicodin
Vicodin tuss.  I can actually function pretty well taking 10-20 ultramUltram
Ultram er a day.  It is amazing how much I can do. My husband calls them speed pills.  I wonder if that is true.  I never had as much energy with other painkillers like UltramUltram
