disappointed with myself

So only day 6 of taper and I gave into the sickess and took an extra nibble off my hydro 5mg...I'm very worried

I once did a taper because I was so terrified of wd. I was crumbling pills into 1/10ths and taking months and I was a wreck. I finally just went ct and it was so much easier. Don't let your fear of wd draw this out to much. Your fear is worse than the ct (really).

I'm taking 5mg and breaking them in half and then halfing the half so I'm taking 3/4

How do you taper?  I was taking 6 at least per day.  Now I am taking 4.  I want one all the time.. I just take 1/2 at a time, where I was taking two at a time..  I really don't know how to taper... So, I'm just taking 1/2 at a time, and down to  4 a day.  My stomach hurts.. I am such a messssss

Thank you I feel like I want to ct but I'm scared to.tomorrow I'm gonna cut 1/4 off each pill for a week and then a 1/4 off that so that's 1 pill down each wk for 4 wks does that sound reasonable to everybody

I am tapering too and a few weeks ago I took an extra pill.  Meant I had to suffer one day later that week so I learned my lesson.  Dont beat yourself up, just keep your goal in mind.  :)

What's done is done! Keep going with your taper. If you need help with your taper stay on this site and read and read and read all the posts. It helps a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!  If you are still having trouble with tapering under control taper slower if you can.  Or have someone else hold the pills for you and only give you a day's worth.

A lot of people find tapering too hard to control. I tapered in two steps. Cut down to 1/4 of what I was using and held it at that dose for 2 weeks, then cold turkey. A lot of people just go cold turkey because they can't do a taper and keep it under control.

I tried to taper several times and couldn't hold it. Finally it worked for me I think because I did a fast taper.

Anyhow, keep posting, keep reading, and keep the goal in mind always. You are doing great with 6 days of a taper and a nibble. Feel good about yourself. You can do this.
