So suddenly you have Wonder Woman Syndrome where you think you can quit pain meds cold turkey ? Wake up little sister.
As an ex hippie who took percocets for breakfast along with vanilla ice-cream & wheat germ, I have to say that just quitting is less than an optimal approach. Like EricS says, just taper down. (Of course, Eric being an AlphaMale Young Frack ended up just living out Hero cabin therapy). Seriously, don't underestimate the staying power of pain and act accordingly. Don't be so hard on yourself and if it turns out you had a little more medication than absolutely necessary, it's hardly a big deal. Better safe than sorry.
good to see your posts
