have to do it....

I haven't made my second drop yet. So tomorrow is the day.  I need to be strong. I'm droping almost by half.  Wish me luck to stay strong. I will only take them once in the middle of the day and that's it. I usually go about 19 hours between my dose. I feel it at night but I'm strong and will kick this

glad you did not drop too much.  I can't remember, what is your access like?  when I did my taper I had only the exact amount of pills in my plan, and I did not deviate from it, because your right, it is an ingrained habit and your body and brain are ready for the next dose.  pm me if u like.  :)

I only wound up dropping one pill. I was hoping to go to only 2 a day but I had three. Im a little disappointed but will drop again on Tuesday down to two. I don't have the urge for more. So I'll take that as a plus. I have to say dropping lower will be hard mentally. It's such a habit to take them.  Im still working on replacing those moments with healthy choices

Hi  if you go down to 1/2 of anything your going to really feel it we cannot give explicit taper instructions but slow is the way to do it  let your body be the judge if your already in withdrawals it will become worst it is a balancing act of drooping enough to make a difference but not to much to cause sever withdrawal  message me if you need to............................................Gnarly................................

I understand completely. Mine have been mild so far. I feel okay. But we will see how it goes tomorrow after this drop. Good luck on yours you can do it. Good job on getting as far as you have. Mine has been hard at night and morning because I don't take anything after 2 pm or before 10am and when the evening hits I can feel the w/d trying to start.  It does suck. But it's manageable. I also have been having some anxiety starting to hit in the morning. It's been hard to not take anything earlier but I'm staying strong.  I will send good thoughts your way

I'm in the same boat. Down from about 120mg oxy plus 40-60 mg Vicodin per day. Now two weeks later I'm at twenty mg Percocet a day. Today I believe this is my last dose. Benn in constant moderate wd most the whole time. Really stinks.
