I'm disgusted!

Listen I'm beyond mad so bare with me!
My doctor puts me in these pain meds for months and now my doctor takes them away, I'm all for it don't get me wrong but he gives a addict a refill on Monday of 30 then calls today and says.... The X-ray of my tailbone looks good, weak myself off the narcotics and start taking 800 mg of ibuprofen 4x a day! WAIT WHAT???????? Ok so now I have 12 left and I'm suppose to wean myself???? How the hell am I supposed to do that??????? I'm no doctor! So here's the only plan I have..... 3 a day for 4 days? Idk what to do! Anyone wanna chime in on some kinda plan so I don't screq myself up anymore then I already am!????
I should have never called him! I should have stayed cold turkey like I was doing! Thank for the help doc....NOT!

I think your daughter is correct.  You used a low dose short term, so the detox won't be that bad. The symptoms usually peak at day 3 clean and by day 5 or 6 will subside. I don't think yours will be too bad, although everyone is an individual ..

5:30am I slept all night, no leg issues yet but I did wake up hot/cold... i will have plenty of water with me and I'm stopping for Imodium today. Question.... I broke all my 5/325 in half, yesterday I did 4 halves so that's 10 right? Today I thought I'd try 3 halves, is it too soon?  I had 7 pills left, I have 6 today! Again this is huge for me HUGE! I read somewhere that tapering is to taper not get high and that's stuck in brain, I'd rather taper then get extremely sick. My daughter keeps telling me I won't get sick as others cause even at my highest I wasn't taking that much... Just looking for some encouragement I guess
