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 sad Can someone please help me sad I hate this!!!

    what is really hard is knowing, I don't even have to leave the house to get some more... I'm thinking, let's just go on to 3 a day and make this easier on myself. What am I thinking... Crazy right! No no no!

      Nick, I don't understand what your saying? You can take 3 of what? Sorry, remind me again what your daily usage of meds is? Not crazy? I'm ashamed as I've taken 6 again!! I really want to start dropping but it's always tomorrow!! xx

      Hey Alex! I'm thinking the loperamide kind of strung out my withdrawal a bit. Def had milder symtoms but more strung out I think. Any ideas on loperamide and withdrawal?

      Yes I was addicted. About 30/day of Dihydrocodeine. I did it cold turkey! Brutally hard...took about 6 weeks to feel pain free. But I did it and you can too ! It's been about 10 months and I dont even think about them anymore. Keep me posted.😁
