Howdy all

Hope you all are doing OK (so far as an addict can be). Ive found a lot of inspiration here, THANK YOU.

I know there are several schools or thought on stopping this crazy cycle of addiction: Cold Turkey and Taper. Also some folks recommend taking other drugs to help out the WD symptoms, others dont.

Well, Im slowely creating a "WD Kit," I have a bucketload of Wellbutrin, about 5 klonopines and a few Ativans and am saving them up for the Big Day. Every week I get a few more and am actually surprised I havent taken them just for the buzz. A month ago I would of eaten them as soon as I got them. Guess I want out of this nightmare BAD.. Im also slowly collecting up the Thomas Recipie stuff.

Im currently on Duragesic 100mg patches and plan on switching to oral morphine, tapering over a couple weeks till Im down to about 25 mg morphine/day, then going CT

My question is this: What dosages of these (klonopine etc) are recommended? The _last_ thing I want is to wind up addicted to something else so I figure 5 or 6 days tops taking the other meds.

When tapering Ive heard that you should take as much as makes you comfortable (...riiiiight...) but I doubt that would work for me. I plan on doing this over a couple weeks at most. I should save the Klonopine till after Ive taken my last morphine? Anyone else gone this route?

Thanks for any help.

oh, another thing, perhaps you could get your bf to come here and get information for himself...helping yourself is the best medicine.  if he doesn't want to come here, i will try to help you with your questions if i can.

i never saw your post, which is why i guess i didn't answer.  many non-addicts have posted here trying to help loved ones, and i don't think anyone had a problem with posting back...don't assume anything ok?

if you re-post your questions, i'll try to help you out.  have a good one...
