Wow, good for you... definitely stop and get away for life... it's soo much better than staying on for a long time and changing your brain's physiology.  It sounds like you have this chance of getting away.

Question, if you have read my posts you know how much I have been taking and how I tapered. it is 24 hrs since I took my last dose of 1 1/2 norco. I am feeling like flu, but I can function and do things...took somthing for the runs it works and I eat and drink water a lot of water. I am quiting this I told my doctor thats it. wondering if I take 1/2 today then 1/4 tomm is this going to help with my withdrawls and make it easier? or will it just prolong the withdrawls?

Your going to feel the effects for sure, you will be ok.GIve your self 3 to 5 days to get back to something that is normal.Right now you still have some in your system and it does make a big difference.Hot showers, and things that you like to eat ,lots of fluids ,minimal asprin products,no tylenol PM ,sleep aids like that tend to drag you down even if you sleep on them,,try and keep occupied and realize this is temporary and will be gone in a few days.

Ok   u mean will u be comfortabel...like feel no withdrawals?  6 months is not a long time but u may feel some fatigue, anxiety, depression and such...if u do not have the runs already then u may not have them at all....i dont think u will feel too much worse that u do now as 1.5 is not alot

you will be safe. at my highest does i was taking around 200mg of oxycontin daily and i went cold turkey .  you will be safe, uncomfortable and have trouble sleeping, but safe.

That is a difficult question to answer...what do u mean by safely?  CT from narcotics is not life threatening unless u have a bad heart condition of if u r pregnant...i guess it also depends on how u feel at 1.5 a day...that is a very low dose and u have done a great job tapering

stopping opiate use does not cause death or anything like that. you can not die from the withdraw, you may feel like dieing but you wont. have you been taking them or just for the past 16 days? you may not experience much withdraw if it has only been for those 16 days
