Just an update on my taper

[BigWill79]

Day 4.  Started at 12, down to 11.  will be dropping down to 10 tomorrow.  I'm have had some withdrawals, a little anxiety, and I'm very tired.  I slept all day today and most of the day Friday and Saturday.  No appetite to speak of.   Any ideas on why I'm so tired and depressed feeling and not hungry.  If I can keep up the taper and all things stay the same, I will better off than going c/t, but I'll get fired if I sleep all day for the next 6 weeks.  Anyhow, just feeling blah.  Have a good night kids.

I don't know how your are planning on tapering...but my dr. told me that you just can't take one a day at a time. Meaning, you can't do 11, 10, 9, 8. etc. She told me to do 5 a day for 3 days, 4 for 3 days, 3 for 3 days...etc. She said it's healty and the w/d won't be so bad. This may not work for you, but so far, it's worked good for me. I was up to 15 a day and just dropped down real fast...am now taking about 3 a day and have been for about 4 days now. So maybe this will help a little. And if not, go c/t...it's hell, but worth it. Good luck to you, hon!

I have been following a plan that Avsig gave me.  I'm dropping one pill every 3-4 days.  I was on 11 for 3 days and will be on 10 for 4 days.  I'm doing very well with the lack of cravings, and haven't been high from the pills since the taper began.  I visit my doctor tomorrow, so we'll see what her opinion is on this whole thing is.  I have thought about going c/t again, but I don't have the time off work and my anxiety is more than I can handle going c/t.  I know, I'm a big baby.  Anyhow, have a good day guys.
