YES my Bro, ive been in the very same position,i think i am not over-ststing my opinion when i say,probably 99% of the pill addicts on this form have.Chris as we use more and more of these drugs the euphoria that we receive keeps going down and down to where in time we use to not be sick.Chris i assume you are familiarwith  Methadone or the suboxone/subutex programs.I am on methadone at 30mgs down from 70 2-months ago.The meth is at least a lot better than the situation of always trying to get pills,day after day.Thats no way to exist. john

you should be ok after about 4 or 5 days. its like a BAD flu but you will live :) I have used up to that much recently and my plan is cold turkey. Trying to wait it out today to see how long I go...but if I don't do it today august 24th is my quit date. do you have a few days where you can just lay around and feel sick?

You will probably get more so you should get the same amount and taper off them gradually. I don't know if your planning ct but tapering might make more sense for you since your tolerance is so high and it sounds like your ravings are intense. I can suggest a taper schedule if your interested. Good Luck.

when i started taking them it was for the rush, that feeling that I cant describe, any of you that have been on them know what i mean. now i just take them not to be sick,I dont even get high at all.. and think about them practically constantly!!! I am almost finished with my bachelors in culinary arts and have so much to look forward to but have this vice just holding me back from everything I am capable and want to do... Its so hard keeping a steady job, when it comes to a day when i run out of vicodin and cant function or even gather the energy to get dressed and go... I WANT AND HAVE TO KICK THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I understand exactly what you're saying, and wish I could kick this too. I have tried and failed and am trying again. It's the hardest thing to do, but I know I can, I just have to somehow find the strength. It's killing me. I fear hospitals so much that I would rather die than go there, so it's up to me, and I don't think I'm strong enough, but sometimes I do, so I sit here and wait and wonder what's next. I know this doesn't help much, but we're in the same boat. AND... it's sinking.
