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
