ADDICTION: SUBSTANCE ABUSE COMMUNITY
Taper or cold turkey

Taper or cold turkey

Lets assume we want to get our systems clean of the poison as soon as possible. By poison, about 50mg of vic per day.   I can stand the pain of cold turkey if it will put me where I want to be.  I will taper if its healthier though.  You have any suggestions?

I would say cold turkey if you can do it!!  50mg of Vic is low compared to some on here who go cold turkey!  My first detox I tapered so fast It was like cold turkey and I was using 150mgs of perc a day for a year and a half and I did fine!  This time I'm cold turkey and almost through 3 days and feel good already!  I think my body cleans it out fast cause I'm all mental now.

Thanks Jay.  I will try cold turkey and see what happens. Nice to know there are other people who have gone through it.  It was only in the last cuple of months that I admitted to myself this was an addiction.

If you do go cold turkey make sure you don't have any pills in the house.
a week to 10 days for w/d's.
Good luck! Congrads on wanting to be clean!!

Thanks for input from you above.   Good luck to those who are quitting.  Maybe I shouldn't say luck, it will take more than that to pull me away.   I'm pissed though and want my freedom from these things.
