Weaning VS Cold Turkey. help with symptoms......please

[DandMe]

I'm weaning off of perc 10mg, down to 1, tomorrow i will start the 1/2 pill, My legs are killing me.  I can't keep them still.  Am I prolonging the symptoms?  Will the leg pain become worse when I finally get down to 0?  I've been working out in the gym for hours a day.  Thanks

Thanks so much.  I think you are all right.  I have cut ties w/ dr. and only have 4 pills left anyways.  WITHDRAW is still WITHDRAW.  So I'm going to take everyone's advise and BE DONE.  I have real good support at home,
THANKS

at this point I would also jump as said before you are just prolonging your misery.. something about taking a pill or even 1/2 keeps us in the druggie frame of mind.. even though the 1/2 pill is really doing nothing. when we keep relying on swallowing a pill it keeps us tied to it and the behavior.. cut your ties with your doc and flush the rest. your wd will be over this much sooner.. good on you for working out as this has a lot of benefits to it.. Make the decision to reclaim your life and take your mind of the act of taking your doc. lesa

i said this to sum 1 else just today,if ur still taking dope of any kind even if it just a little your still gonna kick just as hard.you should just maintain ur dose whatever it is,mentally prepare yourself for 3 or 4 weeks of misery than go cold turky.theres no easy way around it i personally mainlined so i can relate to a hard kick but beleive me after about 15 days it will start getting better and then u will essentialy be out of prison.good luck

i think you are definitely just prolonging things! you are already in WD anyways, I would just jump off right now if i were you or you're just going to suffer the wd symptoms longer at this point.  the sooner you get it all out of your system the faster you will get past that!
