Hi, I'm new here. I posted elsewhere, but I think this is better. I have been taking hydrocodone for 9 months. I was up to 8 - 10 per day, now I'm down to 5. I'm going to try to taper with what pills I have left. If I cut out one per day, I will be down to zero in ten days. Here is my question. I'm terrified of what's going to happen when I'm done completely, and even during the rest of the tapering process. Some of you sound in a bad way. Is tapering (which I can handle) a way to make it any easier? Or should I expect the worst? Does length of use and amount make a difference in withdrawals? I'm just so scared I don't know what to do.

I can't go to any kind of clinic. I can't get into why, but I really can't, so I have to do it at home. Any insight based on my information would be so appreciated you'll never know.

Thank you all.
