Taper yourself or speak with your doctor if thats how you get them. Just taper down, one less everyother day. It may suck a bit but then when it's time to go off. It may still be a little painful but not so much to miss work. I think.. Just an option.. take care
you can try to taper. its not easy. dilaudid is about 7-8 times the strength of morphine. rule of thumb is to drop off about 1mg a week if you have that much. just remember you have to really want this. I recomend if that doesnt work seeking assistance asap professionally. trust me opiod addiction doesnt stay the same or gets better it only gets worse. I pray for you that you are strong enough to do it
