Answers:
The with drawls can be tough to go through!. You are not on a high doze tho so you should be able to get off them with out much pain!. I suggest you start by tapering off!. One week take 3 a day, the next week take 2 a day the next week take 1 a day and the next week take none! That's just 3 weeks and your off!. Withdrawals can be dangerous and hard on your body!. If your are a healthy person!. No heart problems etc!. then I bet you can cold turkey!. It took my friend 10 days to get back to normal!. Each day getting worse!. As the opiate leaves your body expect flu like symptoms!. Also some heart palpitations!. Your legs may feel weird!. Like restless leg syndrome!. They may hurt badly too! I really don't see why you just can't taper off!. It will be easier on you! I know several who take 100 - 150 mg's daily and they become deathly sick without them!. SO yes do get off them but do it smart!! I also think the with drawl depends of how long and how much you take!. They can give you med's to help with with drawl!. Personally, you couldn't pay me to cold turkey!.!.I have been on them for 3 years and when I run out, I am sick the first day, sicker the second day and then I start taking them again!. I can't get past the second day!. I feel aggressive, mean, dizzy just sick as I can be!. I can't get out of bed!. Best of luck to you and I commend you for wanting to stop!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
