Congrats on wanting to stop. Going cold turkey won't kill you. You will have flu like symptoms for 4-5 days. Read the Thomas recipe and amino acid proticol under health pages on the right of the forum( also PAWS1). These will help prepare you. Post and get support from the forum while you are going through wd. The support will help. Dealing with the mental part of addiction is the hard part. Staying clean is harder than getting clean. Have you thought about NA? Keep posting and let everyone here help you through. You can do this.

What Strength? 5, 7.5 or 10?

Personally, I was taking 10-12 5MG per day and quit CT...

I've seen some folks on here quit CT from 200MG per day (20x10mg per day)

Vicodin is a narcotic... and, it's highly addictive.
So, you may want to ween yourself off instead of going cold turkey.
