Mark,
What about a slower taper vs.cold turkey. I can get thru the flu symptoms and even the ghastly GI symptoms but at some point w/my taper I have respiratory problems and feel like I'm gasping for breath or forcing myself to breath. Also the unslaught of pain all over the bod (nerve pain mostly) is just intolerable as is the crippling burning muscle pain I get in the glutes and quads...

I've asked my PM to switch me to Suboxone to help w/withdrawls and as a maintenance med tho he has to get certified to prescribe first and then WC has to authorize...

Here's hoping your withdrawls will be quick and not too nasty but some of the pain that pops up could also be just your body responding to the decreasing amount of pain med...
