I wish you the best kicking this thing once and for all.
I don't advocate doing this, but I did exactly as you're wanting to do and it worked for me. Of course I'm not out of the woods. I'm 8 days clean. Anytime I'd run out and go through w/d I always had my trusty Ultracet. I never felt any addiction toward it. It would help me not go through total w/d, but I'd still feel kinda crappy. After I reached the 4 day hump, I couldn't get my refill for Ultracet and was prepared for the worse. Nothing happened. I haven't had any in several days.
Of course I'm only 8 days clean of Hydro and still feel some cravings and that bobblehead feeling and my back pain (the reason for the hydro's in the first place). But I say if you have no addictive feelings toward Ultracet, try it. It helped me alot. If you do feel yourself addicted to Ultracet, then it'll just be substituting one drug for another.
Good luck, let me know what happens! We're here for you. You sound like you really want to quit. Keep remembering that. Think of the worst thing you hate about taking Lortabs, the worst side effect and think of how you'll be rid of that. I'm here anytime, ok?
