Need help with withdrawel
Posted , 9 users are following.
Hi, I have been taking DHC for years, I usually take 6 30mg every morning, sometimes 8, I don't take anymore throughout the day, I know to most people this seems such a low dose, but I'm scared, I want to stop, but I don't know how to be normal again [sad] I need to wake up without taking them being the 1st thing on my mind!! In the beginning it was amazing, I was on the ball, doing things, looking after myself, now I just sit around, I keep the house tidy etc..I WANT TO STOP, I have a Granddaughter now & this should make me more determined, I know my withdrawel won't be anywhere near as bad as some on here but I'm scared, I know I'm gonna feel rough, Ideally I would like to sleep for a week & wake up not needing them, I also need to put a stone & half on...Please someone help me, I'm NOT telling anyone as no one knows but surely I can get off them quick?? I need help PLEASE!! I have 2 left & prescription 5 days away, I shall be telling my Dr but don't want to taper I want off them, I'm so so scared I look after my Granddaughter most days & can't be ill with her.....I stopped an addiction to 80-100mgs of oxycontin years ago, just taking solpadene & that was a hellish week or so, I've been told it's worse with dihyrocodeine Can someone please help me I hate this!!!

I know my withdrawel will be quick & fairly easy but it still scares the crap out of me! It's been so long, when I was last clean I felt great, enthusiastic, wanting to live life to the full, I have another Grandchild due in November & although my Darling 17 month should of stopped me, I'm hoping to now put my Children & Grandchildren 1st & also do it for myself!!
Oh no please don't buy them, it's not worth it, I know how much you want that lovely weekend, but what if it turns into every weekend?? Are you in the USA? I don't know how to buy them on-line? I'm prescribed & sometimes such as today get an extra strip or two!!
I thank God I never kept going up & up, although I did spend a lot when on the oxy's!!
Hope we keep in touch, nope I'm not a dude Stay strong x

Yep I took 6 a day for the last 3 days, my usual dose, but the day before I got those 18 I didn't take any (didn't have any) I have taken 3 today (all I have) for now as I get 14 later but & it's a big but, I am praying I find the strength to just take 3/4 tomorrow, same Wednesday, I'm seeing the Dr then, I will get 28 as I'm asking for weekly prescriptions now, it will help me!! Yep I've felt like Superwoman now I feel supercrap...I long for the day people say "are you on drugs?" I love that, it means I've cut right down & my eye's are wide, pupils are wide, because everyone see's my eye's half shut my pupils like pinholes all the time, even to myself I look high as a kite, cocaine wise, but I love it as it means the worst is over!! I'm hoping to do a fast taper, as follows..starting Wed, 4, 3, 4, 3, 3, 3, 2 for a few days then one.....Hoping!! I think my fears are more than the withdrawel, it's not having that feeling anymore, that's where I'll struggle most!! Not a big drinker, 2 wines & floppppp! Will be nice to enjoy the odd glass once or twice a week to celebrate...Not a huge fan so not worried I'll turn to alchol Can I ask if your in the UK? I am, just not sure if we can say as it's all ANON XXX

Freedom, I'm confused by your numbers. What is your plan? Not judging at all just confused. You can get over the worst in 3 or 4 days and then never have to take the wretched things again. Or maybe your doc can prescribe a milder opiate like codein to ease you off? I so want you to do this, I'm sure you will. x

To be honest I'm not sure I have a plan, taken 6 again today 6-8 is what I've been taking for just over a year, I started them again because I confessed to my Daughter that I was back on oxy's, chewing up to 150mg every morning!! I feel I shouldn't even be on this site as people on here are doing so much harder than I have to! I don't understand why I can't take 6 5 4 3 2 1 done, 6 days then some Wd's & slowly back to health..Am I kidding myself, Dr's day after tomorrow where I will pick up 28 (asking for weekly's to help, normally 56 2weekly) Surely if I can go from 150mg's of oxy's to 6/8 DHC 30mg then this should be a breeze!! I want to do it Nick, I need to do it but something is stopping me, my name is Sarah, I choose Freedom because that is what I want!! Does the wine mess with the subs or was it BC you drank a lot? Stay strong Nick, your feeling like crap & yet you still stop by to help me I am proud of you, wrap up warm, plenty water etc, al these things you know! There is light at the end of the tunnel, look at what you used to take!! You are amazing! Thank you for caring xxxx

you are right, huge circles, that's why I need my Son involved, he will help, I'm just scared of never feeling my old self again, not the happy high self but the clean sober self, been too long
I am also a good liar to myself!!
Yep gonna write a letter to myself today, my goals, my dreams, MY PLAN & how much I will enjoy life once clean
Be careful with that drink, to to easy to get addicted & very bad Wd's
Power?? You just hit nail on head, that's it I have to stop their power, stop those stupid pills ruling me, it's my brain, my mouth my stomach, why should they win!!
Hope your ok today Nick, sending hugs xxxx
