How to taper off pain meds quickly w/o going crazy?

[3474Fish]

I need to quit my pain meds within 2 weeks.  Currently I'm taking 10 Narco and 3 Opana a day. I can't afford a detox center, so I'll have to either go cold turkey or taper off to minimize withdrawal symptoms.

Any suggestions, information, etc.?

check out the thomas recipe and amino acid protocol at the bottom right of the page, they will help alot if you go c/t. alot of people can't taper it is very hard knowing you have the pills and not take them all. c/t works for alot of people, you will feel like you have the flu for a couple of days, get plenty of juice/gatorade and food, plan on staying home and not feeling like doing anything. take lots of hot showers or baths. it is doable..keep posting and reading threads, know we are here for you. there are lots of wonderful people here who are going through the same thing you are or have been there and have lots of wonderful advise...but you have to stay with us. we can help. good luck and take care
