I posted here a couple weeks ago, planning to go c/t and just BE DONE with hydro, but I slipped and bought more... a week or so ago, I realized what place I am in, ready to just spiral downward to bottom, and I started a taper, using a scrip for oxycodone from my neurologist and some hydros I picked up. I (stupidly) started with the hydros, and finally tapered down over a week using the oxys down to 2 in a day... from 10 10/325 hydros daily for about a month.
I've been here before. I c/t'ed off over 100mg of hydro daily for almost a year, about a year ago, and I know what's coming. Today was God awful! I made it to work (late) for a few hours, then came home and slept all sweaty and achey. Last time I made meetings daily and told EVERYONE, but this time that's just not an option. I do have some good medical support, and my girlfriend knows - though she's not that supportive. For sleep I have Lunesta, for the heart racing I have Klonopin, and I have rx strength naproxen for the aches. I'm feeling medically prepared, but I'm really freaked out about the days to come. I know day 2 is the hardest, and that my energy level will be hellisly low for a few weeks... I just had to get all this out. Please, someone, talk to me.
