I need to taper off asap! My insurance was canceled so I'm going to buy my prescription for 30 days worth of pills for $200! I can't go to the dr because I don't want to pay over $100 for an appointment. Can I just empty out a little of my time released pill everyday? maybe week 1- empty out a quarter, week 2- another quarter, week 3- last quarter and week 4- less than a quarter? I've emptied out some in the past if I forgot to take it and it was too late in the day to take a whole one. I'm so scared I'm not going to be able to work/parent/even drive! Also, I'm petrified of gaining weight? How can I not gain any? Will detox drinks help expedite the withdrawal process?
