last update here... I flushed my last day supply yesterday about noon and have been free since wednesday morning. I feel a lot better and the taper def. helped. thanks for all the kind words and amazing people on here!
Now comes cravings today... tomorrow... maybe the next day... LOL
Just a quick update, I was on my "Schedule" and woke up about 4AM which is great cause I slept almost all night (usually wake at 6AM) but I could NOT get back to sleep, I took a 1/2 vic and fell asleep around 5. got up a bit late but am doing good today, trying not to take any more at least until tonight, I have enough left for today and tomorrow.
Since I am down to just 2.5mgs each dosing (2 x day) will the WDs get worse once I am down to none?

No you really don't want to go that route again, thats miserable! You should, however, feel much better this time around since you are tapering.

Mostly my body will ache and I am very tired first thing in the AM. I do feel relief from the 2 in the morning, I made the schedule only because thats all I had left and I don't want to try to "find" any. If I had more obviously I would taper much more gradually. I guess I will see how it goes, I felt very sick last time and took a day off work and slept all day with some NyQuil. Hoping I don't go that route this time.
You went from 40-50mg hydrocodone to 20mg hydrocodone for the past few days. If you have not had any withdrawal symptoms on the 20mg/day then your taper plan should be just fine. You have a good chance that you might have some withdrawal symptoms because you are coming down very fast and vicodin is not a long acting drug. Do you have withdrawal symptoms in the evening or when you wake up after only taking 2 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon?
