Well, I haven't weaned down yet. I have a wisdom tooth on the bottom that is impacted and infected so along with all the other pain, now I can barely eat and I'm in SOOO much pain!!! That should not be an excuse, but it is what it is!! I'm taking almost 30 7.5's a day. That cannot be good for the liver and kidneys!! I WILL wean down and finally get off these very soon. Since I take so many, it will take a bit longer to wean down, but it will be worth it!!! 
Then I will take some suboxone and also my anti-depressants will actually work!! I've successfully done this before and know it can be done, so I will not give up hope!! One of the things I'm looking fwd to the most is laughing....I mean REALLY laughing!! For those of you that are on vicodens or axy's you will notice after a while that you do not laugh like you used to when you weren't on them. Sure the pills numb everything and you probably feel okay, even "good", but you don't laugh like you would / should!! I could use some encouragement! I hope to encourage someone out there, even if it's just me! After over 6 yrs of pain pill abuse, I got myself off them for over a year, until I shattered my left foot and my dad died. No excuse, just the facts of what happened and how I started all over again. Until later! God Bless!!!!
