I have been weening off for months. I went from 20mg/day now to 1/4 0r 1/8mg 2x/day. It's hard to believe I can't kick it. At exactly 12 hours after the last dose I start having withdrawals and I can't take them. I need sleep! It all started with back surgery and getting hooked on Vicodin. I was taking over 100mg a day! Probably more. This was 15 years ago. I went to Talbott in Atlanta and left early but made sure I was under the care of an addictionologist. She has since moved to North Carolina. I just can't believe I was able to get it down so low and I can't get off completely.
