Released from hospital taking 18 mg/day dilaudid 4 weeks ago, tapered myself down to 1mg morning and night- if i go cold turkey tomorrow will i have withdrawal symptoms

You may: Going to nothing may cause some withdrawal, but it may be mild and tolerable, and within a week should mostly resolve. Expect fatigue, mild insomnia, loose bowel. Can take some immodium. Lots of fluids if having more symptoms or difficulty talk to your doctor.

Probably not: Trying to understand - they had you on 18 mg a day of Dilaudid in the hospital? For what? Hydromorphone is a short-acting drug, and if you have tapered down to 2 mg a day, it is unlikely you will have severe withdrawal. Symptomatic treatment of nausea, diarrhea and muscle pains, as well as clonidine, can help if you do get mild-moderate withdrawal. Get additional help or you will likely relapse.
