gnarly is right....You are going to go directly into withdrawal and you might as well go cold turkey.  I am not a fan of tapering without supervision from a doctor or a live-in sober family member or friend.  I think tapering is just prolonging the inevitable and yes, the first couple of days of cold turkey will be uncomfortable but it is like ripping off a bandaid....Slow and painful or quick and painful!

You need to do some sole searching first though....Are you really ready to be done?  Do you have a plan?  There are many supplements that you can buy that will help lessen and speed up the process which memebers here can help you with.  You need to post and ask lots of questions, there are things like hot baths with epsome salt and other little tricks that will help you through the process.  I was a habitual relapser and probably have detox'd 50 times and I spent a lot of time and energy trying to find ways to lessen the effects of withdrawal.  We are here to help, you just have to want to help yourself first before the rest of us can help you!!!  I hope you stick around and together we can do this.....Good luck and God bless!

HI  dropping dose so drastically your going to throw yourself into withdrawals 18 to 3 is a lot where not allowed to discuss tapers in the forum its ageist the guild lines but normally you want to drop slowly waiting a few days till your next drop this will bring you down a nbit more painlessly we will support however you want to do this just though I would suggest a slower taper to you good luck and God bless......Gnarly

I'm not sure I understand your question, but I'll try to help anyway.  Do you mean you're on day two of being on three a day?  You can get off of the vicodin no matter how you do it.  Going cold turkey will get it over with, and it will be over in a week or less as far as the physical part.  If you want to stay at three a day, you can do it that way too and stop after a week of that.  Honestly, as far as physical WD I doubt it will make a lot of difference, but it might???  Mentally it may make a difference to you.  Everyone is different.  I tried to taper several, like a hundred, times and could never do it.  I didn't have any self control.  

How many days are you planning to take three per day?  I hope I understood and can help!  You'll get lots of support here! :)
