I myself am back on day 3. I had gone to my doc & told him of my problem & he was helping me taper. But I abused it big time. I agree with Devonlee, with 5 days off you may want to try c/t. Depending on how much you take. If you decide to do c/t stay on this page! It's a huge help! Best of luck.

How much vicodin were you taking? Since you have 5 days off of work I would just go cold turkey....by day 5 you should slowly start feeling better. Good luck.
