When I was on vicodin I tapered off slowly and relatively painlessly. I never took them to get high or more than the dr. wanted me on though. I even shaved some of the pills. I never craved them so if that's a problem you might want to go faster or even try c/t. Then coping with the cravings won't throw you off your taper.

I'm tapering off fentanyl pain patches now and it sucks!! I went down to 25mcg's last Thursday. I want off of them so badly. I hate them!!

No matter what way you choose, I wish you the best....Take Care..LS

How fast or slow do you wanna wean off?? Some people cut whole pills every 3-4 days some people do a half every week.. depends on you.. and what you have to work with.. you said you have 15 left.. I would cut down to 4/day to start. it will hurt a little but you haven't been on them too long. I have tapered down from 6-10 vicodin a day.. post me back we can talk

OK..IM GOING TO START BY TAKING 5MG EVERY 8 HOURS FOR 3 DAYS AND THEN JUST STOP..I THINK....PLEASE ANY FEEDBACK WILL HELP..IM ALSO GOING TO TAKE SIP OR TWO OF NIGHTTIME MEDICINE.
AND  JUST RELAX FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS....I FEEL I CAN DO THIS...

TO BE HONEST..THE VICODIN NEVER HELPED MY PAIN..IT JUST MADE ME FEEL BETTER ABOUT IT...WHAT A HEAD FU.. THAT WAS...OH WELL I LEARNED....i WILL BE ON THIS BOARD FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS OR MORE TO KEEP CONNECTED.....SO FAR I AM GETTING GOOD FEEDBACK...OH BOY I GET TO TAKE ONE IN 2 HOURS......LOL....
