Trampy, thanxxx for the great tapering schedule ~ i'm going to try to stick very close to that & give the buph a try once i get down to 20mgs or sooner if i feel positive about it. as far as scheduling goes ~ it's NEVER really a good time, is it ???
i've been cross addicted in the past to codeine & xanax as well as hydro at the same time, & had to go cold turkey unexpectedly for 1 week & believe me when i say that i've learned my lesson! feelings of all over sunburn, shakes, sleeplessness, hot/cold flashes, naseau, & the feelings that my insides were being sucked out by an industrial vaccuum cleaner assures that i don't ever want to have that happen again. those were only the physical symptoms ~ i don't even want to remember the psychological ones!
unexpected holidays suck! this time i'm pre-planning it with all kinds of things to have on hand just in case ~ lomitil, etc. although i don't think it's going to be that bad since it's only hydro.
again, THANK YOU for your valuable info!
