What happens after tapper!

[Bigrod86]

Has anyone went on a 12 day tapper off hydro and can explain the wd after the tapper ? I was 6months at 40 to 60mg and 6 months of 90 to 100mg daily and almost done with a 12 day tapper so just wondering what to expect compared to cold turkey ? Thanks !!!

Hi  im with Pat on this one 12 days is not enough time ...you will begin to feel the taper on each drop in doe so I guess what im saying is ether extend the time or just C/t and get it over will the withdraws will only last about 5 days  but you will have to treat the illness the rest of you life  just know it will get ezer with time keep posting for support where all about getting clean good luck and God bless

I was taking 25 to 30 Norcos per day.  Tapering ***** -- it just prolongs the agony.  Can you arrange to take 5 to 7 days off work, and just jump cold turkey?  The bigger question is whether you're prepared for life after detox.  There are a number of rules you absolutely must abide-by if you want to stay clean long-term.

Hi there and congrats on quitting the hydros.
A 12 day taper isn't a proper taper.  I imagine you have been experiencing withdrawals during your whole taper.
Everyone is different but it will probably help you somewhat.
Don't worry about it and just go for it.  It's never as bad as you think.
Keep posting and we will help you through it.
