Tapering off Vicdin

[Bettyboop4papa]

I had a question.. I have started tapering off of Vicodin, my doctor has started at 2 pills every 6 hours for 2 weeks.. I was used to taking 30 per day and started detoxing before I told the doc... in 4 days time I had taken 2 pills before they started this regimine..  I am having a problem now though it seems that when I take a few it only makes me want more!! When i was detoxing I think the cravings were less than now that I am getting some opiate in my system.. has anyone else experienced this,, and if so what kind of advice could you offer??

Having someone to hold your pills is a good way to go about it. Its alot of work to taper but you should be proud of yourself. It seems you re a strong person and you will get threw this. Best of luck to you!
