should i just cold turkey now?

[Mandapanda17]

i'm lost. I think I may just want to do it tomorrow. I already feel like I'm done, and honestly I feel pretty bad already. I know it'll get worse if I cold turkey. I have sat and sun and mon off and then I work tues wed thurs and then I have 10 days off after that. am I crazy for thinking I could be able to go to work on days 4,5,6??? I just don't want to live like this anymore. I've taken 6 norcos today. 60 mgs of hydro.. do you think I should just do it?! My plan was to go cold turkey on august 24th, but this anticipation is killing me!!! talk to you all soon and thanks for listening.

Did you think about maybe tapering down to about half off what your taking for a few days then you have the 10 days Manda ? Maybe that would make it a little better on you  . But whatever you decide remember we are here for you and im sure someone will be here for you 24/7 to help you threw . I know I will be here whenever im home or at a PC at work . Take care and stay strong   ...... Jim

To Mandapanda17, not sure if you are always posting under this topic, but wanted to check in on you. Its been a few hours. Please write and say how you are doing. I want to try and be consistent and check in on you (actually its so I can ramble on about myself) so anyway hope you are doing ok. I'll be around here tonight but wont be able to check back in until tomorrow after work, > 4pm or later. So post back and i'll reply. No matter what, even if you have something negative to say about the experience. Up to now you've been just full of inspiration  for me though. So yea. Anyway, I took my last pills for the day today at 2pm. Took 4pills total today. Normally would have been 4.5 pills but as I took my last dose I thought about this board and said screw it, I'm gonna taper. So instead of taking two, I took 1.5 at last. Every litle bit counts. If I only taper today, I'm gonna do it! So I did. Then instead of worry about that tiny little last amount that I didnt take, I went to the gym instead. Havnt excercised in any way for like ever. But now somehow I feel better....Been sittin around trying to be as still as possible to enjoy the norco buzz for like 7 years now and gaining weight and eating fast food and not excercising at all, but now if I keep this up for a week or so I could totally be in the olympics, I just know I could!! :-)
