ive been taking 20-45mg of hydro/vico/lortab each day for a little over a year How do i go about weening off of it? whats a good time table? Im hoping i can be off of it within a couple of weeks. i read that dilaudid is good for this? I can get that so id like to know a good way to get off of this shit with as little pain as possible. many thanks
Go get some subz and mail me the rest of your scrip. Now. On a side note weening down does not usually work for addicts and honestly your pain is going to be very minimal if you're doing 20-45 mg a day!
For real, man. 45mg habit of hydrocodone? Man up and stop, you aren't gonna get mad w/d's or anything. Niglet.
Tapering off hydrocodone with dilaudid.... baaad idea, unless you want to start up an even worse habit.
yea dude, just stop cold turkey...the craving symptoms will probably be much worse than your withdrawal syndrome. just go on a 2 week dust binge so you won't remember? AHHAHAHA
dude hydromorphone is way stronger that hydrocodone dont think you can stop one but starting another I love them both and always will but I have a 100mg averaged a day 25-40mg a day aint shit
if your really concerned with withdrawal symptoms i say stop for a day and see how you do.. the mental part of the withdrawal is the worst part which is the cravings. i can live with the physical attributes for the most part. everybody is different but i say if youve been taking them for a year then your defintly in for it. i dont care if youve been taking 40mg or 1000mg a day a habit is a habit and its usually unbearable no matter where you are in your addiction. i get the same withdrawal from shooting 10 bags of dope a day as i would if i was takeing 10 percs a day. once your addicted to opiates thats just it your addicted to opiates. your brain acts completely different once addicted. i myself havent touched an opiate in over 4 years except for a very mild dose of vicodin for a kidney stone and a hernia surgery in this time frame. but i battled a herion addiction for 10+ years. and ill tell you what if i were to go out and shoot dope 2day even just a half a pill to a whole pill of decent scammbled dope 3 days in a row my habit is full blown by that 3rd day. so for those of you telling him to man up and his habit isnt that bad you havent got a clue or youve just never tried to come off. but see how you do with trying it cold turkey and if it duznt work and your really serious about coming off look up detox centers in your area. there are some 7 day detox centers out there that wioll work if your wiling to stop. alot of them use suboxone to bring you down. even at low doses suboxone is highly effective. but im from baltimore and heroin addiction runs rampid in this town so there detox centers all over the city.. 7 day detox usually = about 200.00 to 300.00 but its worth it imho. good luck bruddah!
Yeah, just so you know withdrawls from hydro are minor, it's really al in the mind. Last time I tried to do oxies to get high I did 400mg and wasn't nodding, and I didn't die detoxing, so you'll be fine.
I have a friend recovering from an 180mg/day oxycontin habit, I got to play moral support during her pill sickness days. My advice is: A)Cold turkey, it may be hell but if she can do it, so can you. B)Distance yourself from friends and dealers who use them. Her problem was her house sucked (No tv, internet, cluttered as fuck) and she kept going to hang out with friends who supplied her. C)Find a new addiction while you're getting off of it (TV, video games, gyms, etc. Nothing really "harmful")
did i just get called "niglet" wow and about the dilaudid, i read in this very forum that its short lasting and doesnt have as much of an euphoric affect. A few google searches showed it is often used to help people get off of heroin or ween off of lengthy codone, perc and other opioid habits, not sure why that makes someone 'lol'. I guess we cant all know stuff. But thanks for the nuggets of advice sprinkled throughout all of the other response...
