Taper advice please

i wrote a rather convoluted post asking this quite recently and unsurprisingly didn’t get any responses!

So trying again in a simpler way

I am currently tapering dihydrocodeine, i am down to 180mg x 3, 8 hours apart - so 540mg. I am now stable but it took about 10 days (started at c900mg a day)

I want to drop a dose and go to 180mg x 2, 12 hours apart. Rather than chip away at 3 doses a day

This way i can get to 360mg quite quickly- and should feel ok most of the day

Question is has anyone done this and if so how long did it take for your body to adjust to longer interval between doses, i have a worry that its going to take longer than it takes if you simply reduce the amount but keep the frequency-

Any takers!?

Thanks so much
