[jesss22]

thanks Hamp , what's tapping?

[hampstead]

I do know much about tapering off all i know is you cut back on the med little by little like a quarter every 2 days or more if you can stand it

[jesss22]

I ain't prescribed I get them off the streets , Thts why it's probably goin to b VERY hard for me

[otoh]

if your not in a position to wean your dose down little by little. you need to get some things that will help get you through this . I hate to tell you but going cold turkey is a good 5 days of...yes hard ! you'll need some b12 gatoraid, sleep aid. (I took benydrl ).hot baths, some good cries,ect.

[jesss22]

geshh I guess it's worth it in the end I kno I'm goin to b sore tho

[otoh]

I can assure you ,you will feel like new coming off this stuff. It really numbs you to everything. you'll feel better than you did on them. yes tylenol will help, I also took immodium. read the suboxone facts at the bottom of the page, and look at the immodium peice. withdrawal is withdrawal and all this stuff helps.

[jesss22]

I hope so , How many dayz would yu say a week or two?

[otoh]

yup.. just don't cave in once your on day 1 keep it up ,just keep telling yourself your 1/2 way through. alot of these folks have been addicted for 6-10yrs. you don't want to end up fighting that battle. Just keep posting questions and/or whining and we'll all be here for you.

[jesss22]

does coffee help

[otoh]

I,ve heard coffee dosn,t really help, but everyone is differant. (thats why you shouldn't psyce yourself out.)  you may be better off than some ,as your intake was not that high.
