Sorry that we didn't get to you until now.
It sounds like they have you on a fast but doable taper. Aminos and vitamins can be started right now. As long as you are feeling OK and not throwing up, I would take them. Take a good multi vitamin twice a day so you get the soluble vits all day and all night.
I started the amino acids a week before I went c/t. All except the L-tyrosine. I started the L-tyrosine 1 week after c/t. Are you on any other meds besides the oxy?
There is an artical in Health Topics about amino acids just click it and look for it. I didnt take them just ensure and gatorade and multi-vit's so I don't know much about amino acids. GOOD LUCK! Keep posting.

Since you are tapering, I still feel you should start the aminos now. They help with mood and as you taper, your mood can be depressed and blah.
I think that is a horrible taper plan. I am by far a Doctor, but it pains me that so many of them just don't get it. On the same token--we are responsible too. However you look at it .......catch 22. It sucks.
i went and bought all the aa's so i am all set-i'll start in the am with them- i am tired and am going to hop right into bed---after a nice hot bath that is,,,,
and thank you all very much for your responses...
ENJOY your bath...and your bed....SWEET DREAMS!!
