Tapering

[Repip68]

I have been on various opiates for over a year now, this last month I was prescribed diulodon and am always prescribed 5mg of methadone, long-short I abused my pills and went 2 days with a 750 vicodin every 4 hrs , didn't sleep over 2 days and except when I seemed to pass out and in min literally come to, where of course I would cry feeling clammy , depressed, and all around tortured. I got my dr to not prescribe the dilodon and he went back to the norco 10mg 3 - 4 a day and 50mg of methadone. Since mon I have cut 5 or more to 3 , still on 3 of vicodin and 3 mg of Xanax, for my anxiety, I had a antic attack within 6 hrs of last dilodon, I really thought I was dying anyway, can there be success by taking 1 methadone away every 5 days til down to none ? My husband has my pills now as I clearly am an addict and cannot take them as prescribed, after feeling withdraw for 2 days I decided I don't want to be on anything with this much power over my body? I will still have vicodin for pain but hope to get that to 2 a day when I get thru the methadone deal. Hoping if my husband has pills locked away I can take vicodin less than prescribed , am I fooling myself with that? If I am plz can anyone suggest what I can use for pain of degenerative disc disease   L 2-5 and herniated S - 1. Thanks for any help

Sorry no one has been able to help you out so far. It's not that you are being ignored, it's that sometimes posts are not able to be seen enough for all kinds of reasons.

I will bump up this post if I see it starting to go down again.

There are cool and smart people here and I will try to help you get an answer :-)
