Hope you have a safe trip. I think you'll be just fine. I know you are probably on a tight schedule because of your delivery but if you have to, pull over and take a break. Definitely get the immodium like said above. Nothing worse than being on the road with no restroom in sight It will save your @ss.
So how many are you down to a day? Weening down really does help when you decide to take the plunge. Be sure to stick around this forum as you will get so much support.
Best of luck to you and have a good trip.

also you may want to take some Gas X tabs in case the gas pains that accompany the lovely trots get too bad. I always had to use them when in WD. Do you have motrin/ some type OTC pain reliever for the body aches?

Do you mean is it physically possible? If so it really depends on the person. When I went cold turkey last year I was working over a hour from home. I was also working 7 days a week, 12 hour days. I was able to drive each way every day and work. It wasn't fun but I made it through. I don't think driving cross country would have been a issue for me. I enjoyed the time in my truck as I was in my own little world. It was kind of relaxing. But then again I was just driving about 3 hours a day which is much different than driving cross country.
I'm sure they could make the drive especially if they have been tapering their dose.
Why do you ask?
