Slowly: 1st of all - congratulations on quitting! Finding a good doctor to guide you thru it is best but if you need to do it on your own, go slowly. However many a day you take, cut by 1 each 3-5 days. If 3 days results in feeling too bad, go to up to 4 days to cut further. Or you can just go down a pill every 5 days until a 1/2 pill and then stop. Too quick is not wise. But quitting is very wise. Best!

Vicodin addiction : The chance of getting clean in your own is not good You need to find a provider who is approved to use Buprenorphine They will switch you over and slowly wean you off the Buprenorphine The should also have a counselor in house and information about support groups like NA Good luck
