Hello Jason,

At 6 a day, you should be able to work it out.

I can tell you what I did successfully the first time I quit.  Unfortunately I fell off of the wagon, and now am paying the price hard.  I gets harder each time you try to stop.

But here is the basics of my first try to quit.  First, I want to point out, my withdrawal symptoms were not too bad, and I could work under this protocol.  

That said, many here might argue about whether tapering is the best way.  For me the first time it worked just fine, BUT you have to keep with your plan, and NEVER  NEVER go back to trying to get high from them.  

At six a day, if you could taper I would but I see you already went Cold Turkey.  At this point some would argue to stay on that course.  I was able to take a few days and work from home when I felt up to it.  If you have to punch a time clock, then you may have it a bit harder.

I don't want to minimize it, but 6 a day is not too many in comparasin to others such as me.  

If you stick to the Cold Turkey, then follow the great advice of those who have posted.

I think you should .

If you were still taking  them, I would have suggested a taper, because at the rate you were taking you could taper in less than a month, and probably not feel too horrible.

I will leave it there..  I tend to ramble as My fingers "talk" faster than me....

Good luck and I hope you can  stay the course.  As I said,  IT  GETS  HARDER with each attempt to quit, so get off, stay off!!!!!

Good luck.

I dont think anything can take all of the wd symptoms away...but u can make it as comfortable as possible....i dont know ur dose, but clonidine helps many...especially if u were on a high dose...i did not take it so i cant comment on it...get the vitamins and aminos suggested...liquid imodium helps alot...something for anxiety and something for sleep if u need it...u will feel like u have the flu for a bit....again, the amount u took has alot to do with with how bad u will feel and for how long...i took 80 mg a day and felt flu-like for 4 days...the energy thing and depression lasted a bit longer for me...but then i really cracked down on the supps and things got better...hang in there
