Tapering is really the way to go, if you want to take a holiday. The first thing is to make sure you aren't taking an unplanned holliday.. That will lead you to a very nasty situation. If you always have 10 hydro's on reserve and never touch them, then you can save em' for a rainy day and start to taper. Tapering will only get you so far before your temptation and pain gives in, so it's best to just taper for a few days and then stop. At least I think so....

The bad part physically is over in 6 days and then it's mostly mental. If you are a person that really want's to stop taking hydro completely, then there is a miracle drug called buprenex (I forget the real chemical name).. I haven't had first hand experience with it, but I've read tons and tons of great success stories when using a combination of ultram and buprenex over a 6 week course. Most regular doctors won't have a license to prescribe it, but you can get it at certain clinics in most places. I don't know the rules for receiving it, but I do know you will be tested to make sure you stay off opiates, if they decide to do an out-patient program. I've heard the Bup. takes away almost all physical w/d's and takes the opiate craving away too.. It also takes willpower from you, but weaning off buprenex is said to be very easy compared to hydro. Anyway, just thought I'd share this, if you haven't heard of it already.

Other than that... Ultram,Imodium,vitamins,food,water,milk and exercise are the best things to combat holliday's...

Good luck everyone.. it's a very tough thing to be dependent on a medication, but always remember that life before wasn't as good...(if your a real chronic pain patient).....
