DHC addiction

I've been watching someone withdrawing from DHC on a popular TV soap, I hope his portrayal is OTT and perhaps made to dissuade other people from becoming dependent on them because if it makes you go as doolally as he has then I'm gonna make sure I never run out!

    Withdrawal can be life threatening (partly due to your inability to care for yourself whilst its going on) :? If you have been taking lots of DHC for a long time youve got to make sure you never run out :D

    Dr Spock is right these tabs realy can screw your head up and when you run out of your tabs you will do any thing to get your next priscription early than usal you will lie to docs saying you lost tabs or complaning that you have more pain than usal when realy all you want is the tabs to carm you nerves.

    If your not hooked now I would just bin the tabs and try somthing else because they are realy hard to give up

    It's too late for me now, I've been taking DHC for years, and you're right Anth about lying to get your prescription early if you run out, I've said I was going on holiday to get it a couple of day before it's due!
