    Ok guys. Im gettin to the point where its costing me way to much to feel how I want to. I have decided to go on an extended break for the first time in a long time. I know it will be hard at first with WDs and everything, but im wondering how long it will take to get my tolerance down to almost nothing. Just a little info: I have hit 80mgs a night to feel how I want, I told myself once that happened I was going to take a break, and now Im at that point and ready to stop for a while.
    My question is how long is it going to take to get rid of my tolerance almost completely? A few weeks? A month? I was a steady user up untill I hit the 80 mark which I have only done a few times. Im going to keep my promise to myself and go on a extended break. Any help would be great. Thanks Guys.

    ***I'm no expert on opiates*** Hello. You can try cutting your dosage's in half every week or so. For example, you can try taking 40mg's for a week(whatever fit's you best), then cut it to 20 mg's a week(etc.), and so on, until your tolerance goes down to your liking. Be safe. This technique is good way to avoid cold turkey w/d and to stop opiate usage/addiction. Good

    I can handle the cold turkey, I have done it before but started back shortly after. And tapering is worthless, just a waste of good opiates and always wakes me want more. If I want to fight the WDs I will do some poppy seed tea(kinda defeats purpose) and anti-diarrheal OTC meds. I think cold turkey is going to work best. I can handle the WDs. They won't last too long since im not a every day 80mg user, i just started doing it. WDs suck, but once they are over the cravings are over, at least for me. I'm just wondering how long I need to stay clean to get my tolerance back to almost nothing.

    Just make sure you drink plenty of liquid's and eat healthy since w/d obviously cause lots(or some) of vomiting and diahrrea. Remember, you must replace what you've lost. Be safe.

    oxy-I agree with you 100% about trying to cut down. If you are going to quit doing opiates just do it cold turkey and get it over with. Every dam time I would try to cut down my Herion habbit buy doing a half or one less bag every other day or something in that order it would fail and I would go right back to doing as much as I was doing in the first place.So Like you said your best bet is to just get it over and so threw the DT's.As for your question If you go cold turkey it should take a good 2 weeks to get every thing out of you.You tolerance should be very very low after about 10 days to 2 weeks. But every one is different so I am not for sure ? After about 20 days to a month without one drope of opiates you should be able to get nice again of of only a few vicodens. Wow to I wish I Could get nice off of Vicondens again. I would have to eat about 20 of them right now to feel anything. The only thng is you should know this is alot of OD's hapen when a opiate user cleans up and then goes back to using again. What happens is when they go back after claning up they try and take a large amount like they were taking when they had a habbit. And your body is not use to that large amount and you end up oding. Just be careful man when you go back its going to be like when you first started so take it easy and only do a little bit. Having a opiate habbit sucks but one good thing is its hard to overdose when you have a habbit . When your clean and have no tolerance you have to watch out and be very very careful. Good luck man kicking I know it sucks balls but you will get threw it the first 72 hours are the worst after that its not so bad !!!!

    I would stop cold turkey for at least 2 or 3 weeks to make your tolerance the same as when you first started. but when you start again, don't go back to daily use, try and only do it every other day or so , that way you won't be in this situation again.

    2-3 weeks. I average 100mg daily and when i quit for two weeks i took 20mg and got the same feeling as i'd been having to take 60mg to achieve previously.

    Ok, well its day 2. WDs starting to creep in, nothing bad though. And yea I plan on starting out low and am going to try and keep it to weekends. No doubt it a fun drug, but I use it for chronic pain also. Tolerance is a bitch. Im going to take a 2 week break, 3 weeks is a little long, IDK if I could make that.

    Good to hear that man. After 2 weeks your tolerance should be very very low, you might not have no tolerance at all and like I said above a few vicodens will do the trick.
