HI well there are 2 schools of thought out on this prossess  you can just jump off and get it over with C/T or you can taper off a little at a time both have advantages and disadvantages if you C/T your going to be done with it in about a week its short and to the point it gets it done as quickly as possible hence less overall misery if you taper your final withdrawal will not be a sever but you will be in a state of constant withdrawal over a long period of time...it takes a lot of discipline to taper...you cant yo yo your dose taking 3 one day and 5 the next you have to put a taper in place and stick to it regardless of how you feel it can be tuff to do to say the least...I had to taper off methadone it is the only practical way of getting off it...and let me tell you it was 8 1/2 grueling months of on again off again withdrawals ..I did the taper myself and it took both discipline and perseverance to stick to it...I would never wish it on anyone ...
you just have to decide witch way is going to be best for you...for most people the C/T seam to work best but I have seen people taper off of the pills also..its best to have a third party hold them and keep you to a scedual with dosing...we will support you ether way you decide to come off them it up to you...keep posting and we will all try to help you along good luck and God bless....Gnarly

Thanks for that I know ya'll are right.I'm just a sick puppy, But getting rid of the pills is like having to shoot my dog,right now anyway.I know it sound s bad but it is bad.I think what I will do is give them to my neighbor and aleast I know they are there just incase I need them LOL.I have to laugh because I am thinking like the junkie I am.But isn't it better just to do the percs for 4 or 5 days and get my dose down.Then go ct from them I am just thinking out loud.Because we were doing 3,40 a piece(oxy's) which is 120mgs per person and this morning . we did 6@ 5/325 percs that is the same as just a 30 oxy's,am I right.So if we can cut out 90 mgs.per day for 4 or 5 days wouldn't be easy when we go CT ??????????????   Some times I worry that do I really want to do this but I really really do and my wife does too I think.this makes you crazy and b;h,y,,g,n

HI well on the bright side you made it 10hr longer then yesterday  but I have to agree with the Sarah and Avisg you need to get rid of all the pills in the house...the perc's contain the same narcotic as the oxy and putting it in your system is only going to set you back to the starting point again...if you can do it for 38 hrs YOU CAN DO THIS...your just going to have to push past the discomfort and the pills can no longer be an option ...I know this is difficult but it is doable ...start over today and come here for support B/4 you take another pill to feel better ...there is always someone else on this forum that is right where you are
and many buddy up with someone else in the exact same position as them self's..we are all in this together regardless of where we are with our addiction...the advise we give is based on experience....often from the school of hard knocks I road the pill train for 10+yrs I know it all to well you need to bring and end to the madness of active addiction where all here to help..please take our advise and get rid of the pills it will make it so much eazer to push past the pain..good luck and God bless ...Gnarly

Taking the percs is only going to prolong this.  I take it you have pills in the house and they will just call your name.  Gotta get rid of all the temptations.....You can do this.  sara
