Is this possible?

We all have the dream of tapering to a point where we just walk off with little physical symptoms. Is that possible?

I have not snorted a norco since Friday. That was my main way so I feel good about that. Nice to not have an always packed nose. Still dealing with it a little but assuming I will have a decent nose soon. Hot showers help too there.

I have been at 3 a day. Splitting one in half and making it last at least 4 hours. Could never do that before. Stomach isn't happy as it gets closer I do feel aches in areas but not horrible. Was hoping to keep extending an hour or 1/2 hour till the next 1/2 pill. And then when I can get to 1 ish a day. Just go for it then.

Is this a pipe dream? Or doable. I know many can't taper. But for those who have, am I dreaming or on a good path?

You're on a good path when you make a positive move towards getting clean every day, and this is what you're doing. Congrats! I never hear of someone getting off almost Scott free from WD symptoms after tapering. But I do hear of people getting down to a manageable level so they can easily make the jump to freedom. Keep making those moves towards freedom and keep your eye on that prize. Become our next miracle on here!!

Hello! We can not tell you how to taper on here..BUT whatever works for you. You most likely will still have some w/ds but maybe less a tense with a nice slow taper. It takes time for the Brain/Body to adjust back from the removal of these Stims. Just make sure you are drinking lots of water..Get some Electrolyte powders and Protein..Start popping those vit/mins too..Keep pushing forward and do not look back..We will cheer you all the way.
Bless
