I am nervous because last month I was taking about 25 10/325s a day after a surgery and had really horrible withdrawls. I got over that but because of the pain the doc prescribed me more vicodins 5/500 with tramadol. I am currently taking about 10 5/500 a day and about 10 tramadols a day. Tomorrow I am going to cut down to 4 vicodin and 5 tramadol. I am nervous and afraid the withdrawls are going to be horrible again. I want to just get off of these pills though because they are consuming my mind. Can anyone tell me how bad they think the withdrawls will be? I have the 4 vics and 5 tramadols for 6 days worth. Am I in for it or will I be okay? Thanks. Any advice would be helpful.
IMO, you should get ahold of your caregiver and talk to them about this and how they can help you get off without the horrific withdrawals! You really shouldn't go at it alone!! If done properlly with medical supervision, then the withdrawals can be very little!! I have been exactly where you are right now and I was glad that I took the medically supervised approach! I have detoxed several times (methadone, duragesic, dilaudid , morphine and all the others including herion) and going to an inpatient detox or having your doc give you a slow taper is the only way to go! I really hope you find what you need to get off the pain meds! Good Luck!

You should start reducing your intake by dropping 25 per cent for two weeks and if that was ok drop another 25 per cent for the next two weeks, etc.
When down to two talets a day, take that dose for 3 weeks and then just stop.
While you are going through that non use period, you should have nice hot showers four times a day to keep yourself warm and the blood to flow around your body.
