I need to tapper off hydrocodone! I had a knee surgery and was using hydrocodone as prescribed for 2 months. Then I somehow liked the feeling… f... it, I got addicted and was taking 6-8 10/500 per day for about a year. Now, I want to quit… Jesus, I do not want to be a junky. But if I do not get the dosage, I get this cold turkey… I cannot afford the treatment, I have a job and cannot be sick there.

Use vitamin B6, it always help releaving the cold turkey symptoms, not that it reduces the symptoms (do not over exaggerate with B6!!!)
I would suggest reducing the dosage. If you are still on 6 to 8 daily (wow!!!), reduce to a half, immediately and continue half dosage for few days, then reduce to 1!!!! Keep it to 1 for a week or two. And then quit! This will help you minimize the cold turkey… but remember, cold turkey is just physical addiction, then comes the mental one, which may be and IT IS WORSE!!!
