I'm back for questions on different detox methods

[flyforfish]

From any one that remembers my last post after a few days I caved pawned some stuff because I was sick like really sick,  sickest I have ever been detoxing. So I used yesterday and of course within hours all symptoms had disappeared. I need to be able to do this without looking like I'm a walker from the walking dead. So I know the traditional way is to slowly drop dosage by mg. I've noticed I don't really ever start getting sick until the middle of day 2. Has anybody ever tapered by the time between dosing rather than actually cutting the dose? Say I don't get sick until the second day,  how about waiting 3 and taking a full dose then waiting 4 and so on. I know it's probably mostly the addict in me that wants to do it this way but for what pills cost around here.  I can't imagine spending that only to feel slightly less ****** instead of awesome. So has anybody done this or is it just begging to relapse again. I figure it's what casual users who don't become addicts do.  Take a dose and get high don't mess with it for awhile and so on.  Realistic yes?  No?

WOW...I feel sorry for you buddy. You are stuck in active addiction and you don't realize that you are on a merry-go-round from H!ll. You need to just get this done. Your taper plan is no good AT ALL. I don't think you would stick to a proper taper plan anyway. You need to buckle down and get this done. Know that it will be five to seven days of feeling sick and it will be over. The physical part anyway. I hate to tell you to lie but faking the flu will get your wife off your back and if you can take time from work..well then do that. I am happy that you keep coming back and posting. this is a great place for support so read all the responses and make a decision. I will say a prayer for you tonight.

And see how I said "physical" part. You will still have to go through the mental part,right now I'm finding it the hardest part.

I would jump. It's really to bad you can't take 4-5 days off of work to get the initial physical part over. Is that what your scared of the most about being sick? Is being sick at work? I couldn't taper. If they were there I'd eat them.

So jump? I know I'm not taking anything crazy

Hi....well relapse happen when the desire to get high excises the desire to stay clean ...this is something that often happens days b/4 the actual use.. the phyical part is often ezer then the ''mental mind screw''...there is no''get out of jail free card'' as you taper it gets harder and harder to deal with the withdrawals  if your habit is small it is better to just jump  if your habit is really high it pays to taper as for doing it it is next to impossible if your in control of the pills your best thinking got you where your at.. you need to give N/A a chance dont judge the program if you have not applied it  im a old dope fiend and if it work's for me after 35yr in active addiction it will work for any one   I got stubborn about it the methadone clinic actually said I have been on it to long and at to high of dose to ever stop using and and would be on it the rest of my life  not very encouraging  but when people say I cant do something only motivates me to do it more.. just know what your doing is so so worth it and it can be done  yes your sick for 4 or 5 days   like having the flu you will come to find out it is similar keep posting for support.......Gnarly

I brushed the subject with the mrs. a few nights ago while I was sick because I wanted to reach out but she got very angry, getting anywhere near the subject so I just dropped it altogether. It's pretty obvious she'll drop the hammer if I drop the bomb. I'll keep trying though I just don't want to be visibly sick at predictable intervals like damn I'm sick every Tuesday. That being said I take 75-100mg of hydrocodone twice a day(75 is a solid productive buzz, 100 is a nice nod ) what's a reasonable rate to drop off at say 10mg per dose per week or can you go faster?
