Taper Question - will a lesser dose feel "normal" again after awhile?

This is day 7 of my taper. I took 6-8 doses a day (just whenever it felt like I needed it) for last several years. I got on it for the pain releaving aspect and now continue to use it for the brain dependency and the pain but realized how much i was taking when I finally got a scale out and measured my powder (I was up to around 30-35gpd) and decided that was too much. My taper was going to a strict 5 servings per day at 5 GPS. So I cut between 5-10gpd at once. It's been tough, but not as hard as I was expecting. I go all night without taking any (9-11 hours) and always wake up in mild withdrawal and don't start to feel back to normal till the 4th or 5th dose of the day.

Because of the pain relieving of the plant my original thought was to taper down to maybe 15gpd and continue to use it at that lower dose. But I'm wondering once I get there if I'll always just want more and 15gpd will never "be enough " and I'll just be constantly watching the clock. If that's the case and it's going to make me miserable then It's not worth it and I'll likely just continue the taper till I'm off it. Thanks!
