Sorry to hear about the rough hydro holidays and WDs. That really sucks...especially if you are trying to work too
I was curious about something though in that the original poster I think was taking 40-50mg a day? I just came off about 30 mg a day with hardly any withdrawals. In clinics they wean you down to 30mg a day or so and just take you off.

I wonder if the amount of awake time you are on hydro has an effect?

I was taking 30mg a day for several months, this weekend I decided to go off them (my condition is responding to another drug so not so much pain). I had very few WD, just a bit of lethargy and a touch of the runs the next day. Now a week later I feel great. The thing is, I NEVER take them when I first get up. I wait until about 5:00 in the afternoon and took a 10mg, then took 20mg at bedtime. My tolerance was up to the point that if I took the 10mg, I didn't feel it too much, and I started to feel cruddy by 5:00 before taking the 10mg, but I think it did make my WDs pretty insignificant.

I was pretty nervous about coming off this amount which was alot (for ME) but it was no problem.

Anyone else have experience with this effect of not spending all waking hours under Hydro influence and not getting bad WDs? I wonder if the original poster had weaned down to 30mg for a week or so if they could have just come off them with fewer WDs?

Just curious.....
