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.

Hey, thanks for th info.  I feel much better now.

I'm a little concerned about your own w/d plans.  I don't think you should take Wellbutrin if you want to sleep the first few days.  That is a real wake-up med.

On the very top thread "Still Looking for Chezz", Thomas02 has reposted his famous "recipe" just today.

This post is a bit far down, Im not sure how many folks will see it.. you may want to repost on a thread nearer the top.

This is the place to be if you want to stop.

You may get the runs and cramps also.. look through these threads and find "the thomas recipie" it will help. You seem hooked up on Xanax and Ambien (be careful of that ambien, its potent stuff, you can do things and not remember them). Id rather have someone who has had experience in those tell you how to take them.

Youre lucky to have your sister help you, love and support are prime factors in getting you through this.

Again, you may have better luck posting in a thread near the top of the page.

Hi... well.. i'm a little nervous about being here but i guess this is the first step to freedom...i have been on hydrocodone for about 6 months now and i believe that its time to quite the habit... i'm seriously depressed and suicidal and havent talked to anyone about this problem of mine yet except my sister whom i told just today..  The reason why i told her today is because i am going to visit her in NJ on wednesday.  She has always accepted me for who i am and i can trust her.. i am going to try and go cold turkey with her help.  So far the only symptoms that i have experienced of WD are sweating, hot and cold sweats and headaches.  I'm pretty nervous and scared to do this but i have to.. i dont want to be taking these anymore.  What i am looking for is to find out what i can expect and what my sister should know before i attempt the WD.  I have Xanax, Ambien and pot to help with the sumptoms but other than that.. i dont have a clue as to what to expect.. can any one out there help???...thanx
