I would like to start this next week....

Can anyone message me taper plan they could suggest. I normally take anywhere to 5 to 9 hydrocodone every day. Also, can anyone suggest on good ways to deal with withdrawl symptoms. I don't know if this would really take into effect until maybe towards the end... but I have a job... so I will need to find a good way to help get me through while I am there. Also, I saw some postings about smoking "hippy lettuce" can help out?

Hi.  You are not taking a super high dose.  I would just stop and be done with it in a few days.  Don't drag it out by tapering!  Do you have a doctor you could ask for help?  

To help WDs, take hot baths, drink lots of water and gatorade, take cal/mag supplement,  use immodium, tylenol or advil and a heating pad.  It will be over before you know it.  

Keep posting!

I tapered and still had to go through withdrawal, so I agree with cabalerro.  Take the plunge and get it over with.  There are lots of ways to cope through this, just check out the Thomas recipe.
