scared of withdrawls

[jordan1222]

I've been taking vicodin for seven years on a daily basis . I'm wanting to stop but scared to death of withdrawls . I've started to do some research online for home remedies . Thinking the tapering off would be best for me but would love some feedback . Depending on what I can get I do about 10 - 10s a day , or  7.50 . So my question is how to start the process , don't think I can do the whole cold turkey thing .

If you do the tapper you'll still fear the final pill. I like most couldn't do the tapper. We're all here to support you either way you go. God Bless

I wouldnt fear the wd's, i would fear what will happen if you continue using.

One more thing... Alot of times the FEAR of Wd's is Worse than the actual experience.. IF you end up having to go cold turkey it probably won't be as bad as your imagining (although it's no cake walk).. It's comparable to a nasty case of the flu! :)

I don't know alot about tapering as I never could do it that way! If I had the pills I was going to take them! Its a great option if you can stick to it.
I just wanted to drop in, welcome you, and throw my support your way! Hang in there! Others will be along shortly with some answers for ya!
