Withrawal question

Hi,
   I need some help with my situation. I have been taking Hydro 10-325 for about three years now. Currently taking about 240mg hydrocodone a day. I have to stop. I am so sick of spending everyday obsessed with taking Hydros. It is taken over my life completely. I have to stop cold turkey because I don't have enough to taper. Also, I can't get any real time off from work right now, just one day. I was thinking about starting the process on Friday and then taking Monday off from work. I know everyone is different and there are no simple answers but is it possible to come into work on Tuesday and at least function? I really don't have much choice right now. Please help.........GD

Everyone is biologically different so no promises can be made....but some stop using on a Thursday - - the first day isnt usually too bad so thats Friday. Then Sat/Sun/Mon would be days 2,3,&4.... most indicate that days 3/4 are the worst.....so you can probably make it to work on Tuesday and not be in very bad shape.......Best of luck to you in your effort.............
