What can I do? I been ttaking 20-25 lortabs a day, trying to quit but I need help I just want to stop cold turkey but scared of what will happen so I'm down to 2-3 pills a day is that safe what can I do? I been takin pils for about 1yr 1/2, please help me I'm so scared

Yes, that is safe.  Quitting opiates is not really that dangerous.  Benzos are the ones you have to worry about having seizures with.

Aside from the symptoms, feeling nauseous not sleeping and being tired, there really isn't anything to worry about.  As opiates normally only take 3 days to come off of, you should be feeling better soon.

Congrats on doing it yourself.

Thank u so much for ur comment that made me feel better but one question I think I have missed typed. I was at 20-25 pills a day then like the next day I drop down to 2-3 pills a day, is that safe just to drop down like that cause that's a big difference? So is that really true that u can't die for withdrawls? Cause that's wat my mine be tellin me that makes me scared. But at nite its hard for me to go to sleep cause my mind is going on about bad things that will happen, what can I do to stop feeling like this an feelin so I guess that its called paranoid at bedtime?

If you are really down to only 2 or 3 pills a day, continue to cut down until you are taking only one at bed time, then half at bed time, then none. You are doing great, better then most. Every day should get better and better. Detox from opiates is not deadly, just very uncomfortable, but you seemed to have done it. I am very proud of you. Please don't give up. Let me know if you need any other help or advice. And don't be scared, you are not alone.
