Reducing The Dose

Updated

I take 12 mg hydromorph contin twice a day for chronic pain. Until I get to the doc for a new prescription, I only have 18 mg capsules left... Can I remove some of the granules to reduce the strength until I get to the doc ( probably after the holidays). And, any idea how many I would need to remove? Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me.
