Everyone will probably want to kick me for saying this but you say you are taking them to rid yourself of pain, not to get high. If this is the case you may just want to accept a stronger prescription because clearly if you are at 49 a day these arent working. I think it would be safer on your liver, that amount of tylenol is toxic and will kill you. At least on a stronger script you wouldnt be taking as much. After stabilizing on something stronger then consider starting to taper down and off. Please talk to your doctor, this sounds so dangerous to me, something must be done. Good luck to you and God Bless. Jacky
Hey~ Thank you...I have been having a "party" all day. LOL
First,this is just my opinion and as I said you may want to get with a Dr.
I just think that 50 pills is a lot to ct from...and yes,you will feel crappy while tapering.
I guess it's up to you...you'll feel withdrawals either way. Tapering takes a lot of willpower... I'm concerned about all that Tylenol,so the sooner the better.
Let's wait for others to post to get their opinions. Opiates were not my DOC...I had a love affair with barbiturates...
Other members have a lot of experience with high dose opiate use. Hang on and wait for them to post. Do read those health pages though!
Welcome to the forum...there are some wonderful folks here!

Hi! No I have not looked at that, what is it and how does it work? Is there information on this site? Or can you give me a short description as to what it entails? I appreciate your help! Thanks!
Actually, when I first started taking them it was to get rid of the pain in my mouth, as time went on, the pain wouldn't go away, so I started taking 2 at a time, then 3, eventually ending up at 7. I have been taking 7 at a time now, because if I don't I feel like crap! I think I take them more now, to keep away the pain of not taking them. Make sense? As I said in my original post, I honestly do not take them to get high, in fact if I wanted a stronger prescription, I could get it, I just don't want to be in pain anymore.
When I drank, I drank so I didn't have to think about my past and the abuse, ****** childhood, rapes, blah blah blah! I could go on with the emotional pain I was and still can be in, but that is not why I take 3s. In fact I know from trying to quit the first time (and only time) that the pain I am in now is NOTHING compared to the pain I will have to go through in order to get off of them. And I had gotten to the 4th day that time. OMG! I wanted to die! And I know you are not trying to judge me, and I appreciate that, I also hope you are able to look in that mirror one day (sooner than later) and see the you, you used to be and still are! Thanks for your input! I really do appreciate any I can get!
have you looked at any information about suboxone
If I am not mistaken, Congrats! are in order? I have told many doctors the amount I take and they basically do nothing or offer me something ever worse like moriphine! My mother died from taking drugs in 2006 and I do not want to go the same way. So, your saying I should just keep taking less and eventually take none? Will I feel crappy while doing that? Not that it really matters, I have not went a day in my life (since being addicted and a drunk at 13) without feeling some degree of crappy! Thanks for your help! I will see what I can do and yes, I will keep you posted! I appreciate you taking the time out!
