Well I been addicted to lortabs for over 3 years and hate it I try to stop back in feb. 08 with the help of sub did good for 6 months then I had a relapse and since then is been hell I just can't stop using again but now I have decided that I have to do it I can't do it ct because of my life style I have 90 pills of sub the 2mg so I want to do a fast taper I don't want to be on them for 6 months like last time.
I NEED HELP! you guys I really do, so I need help from the sub ppl on how to do it so that I use the sub just to help with the wd maybe every other day or what.
Thank you all and good bless.

I know you can do this -- I did.   Take only enough of the Sub to help alleviate the W/D's  not to eliminate them altogether.   Take only one or two mg twice a day - that will help but not make you feel wonderful --- then begin to taper immediately.  If you only take them for one week to 10 days you may escape the horrible WD's from Sub like I did.  I took them for 21 days starting at 2 mg and dropping to only a crump then jumped.  Not soon enough -- the W/D's were far worse than anything for 2 months.  So, use them fast and get off QUICK --   Main thing is to be willing to go through some pain of W/D's.  No one gets off scott free. But it is doable and you can make it.  Important to set a 'quit date' and stick to it. Makes it easier if you have someone to be accountable to and someone to encourage you.  All the best.

Hey Lonesome,

You will be ok!! I know it's hard. I know you hurt. I am on this forum to find help in getting my brother help. He is hard core into perc and oxi but he won't admitt it.

To you I will say that your life is to precious to **** with. You can die and all the people you love will be left wishing they could talk to you, hug you, tell you that they love you one more time. I hope you make a plan to quit now while you are in that frame of mind. I know that you can do it and I wish you all of the happiness and health in the world.

You are the master of your own destiny not the drugs.

along with the sub, you should get some sort of after care...i know you said you have a busy life style...but if you dont get some help what good is the lifestyle doing???  i really believe that aftercare for many myself included is the difference between success and failure...check into..good luck.
