This sucks

Day 1, tapering. Chills, sweats, squirts. Just trying to last another 5 minutes until my next dose. Cutting back from 9 actiq's a day to 4 today, 2 tomorro, (I hope) this is not fun at all

I posted to you this morning around 3:00 a.m. It's down further under maonfire-fentanyl. Your w/d symptoms are horible but exactly what they should be. It will be day five before you get relief. At that time you will want to sleep. This is hard on your body especially with your other help issues.

Be sure to look down to see my post. I wrote so much I ran out of space and completed more on another post next to it. I'm concerned that you missed it.

Let me know when you read it please,
Take Care....LS

Hang in there - its (literally) only temporary! Tell me, what did you 27 days ago?  Don't remember exactly? Well - in a very short while, you'll look back on this incredibly hard time and feel the same way (ok, you'll remember it but you'll also be far beyond it).

Stay strong - think positive - you WILL get through it :-)  (I'm saying this from the heart as someone whos habit is/was considerably higher than your own and I've detoxed c/t before.

Hey man, i'm not sure who told you how to taper down, but that seems like a huge taper. You usually give your body at least a little time to adjust to a smaller dose, and by smaller I mean possibly cutting by 1/6 of your normal dose. By cutting down from 9 to 4 in one day, you are going to have a pretty bad w/d, then to 2 the following day, it's going to be drastic. At that rate, you might as well just quit c/t, because you are going to be in pretty heavy w/d anyway. However, if you were to taper down a little more gradually, while giving your body say, a week to adjust, your w/d will be MUCH more comfortable. I wish you the best, whether you take my advice or not.

Did you see the two posts I made to you up further. I wrote it at 3:00 this morning so I could get some info out to you. Just click on the link and read. It's up towards the top for now but will move down as the day goes on.

Hope you read it and reply,
LS
