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

      Don't do that you'll end up in the nick lol! Yeah I got Temazepam... Just 7 20mgs. I managed to get out and do some shopping with my daughter today. It was real hard as I'm so tired. I feel good that I went though. My fatigue can get so bad I can end up in bed for weeks at a time ( even when on pills) so I'm feeling really proud of myself but I'm exhausted! Was gonna make a fish pie tonight but I've no oomph left so it will just be something simple. The fish pie will have to wait until tomorrow. Hope you are having a good day james. :-)

I've had a blocked nose for so long I've forgotten what it's like to breath freely! My nose gets soooo dry too... Anyone else got that problem? It's def the opiates!

      Looks like I missed you tonight... Or this morning I should say, it's coming up to 1. We can do this James, you are right but oh it stinks sometimes... I really hate this not being able to sleep nonsense as it makes for a rubbish following day. Guess you are sleeping now... Moi jealous, not much. Sleep tight. I'm gonna scout the Internet or watch some rubbish YouTube docs...

      Hi James, I'm sezyboo lol, changed name as too many people know me by my nickname in everyday life smile I chose Freedom as that is what I want smile You help more than you know smile Sadly I got my prescription yesterday & the weekness kicked in, took 6 & now just another 6, note to self GIVE THEM TO YOUR SON!! I need to do this as although he doesn't know about my addiction, he knows I take them for pain, I'm just going to say on bad days I take more & don't want to, soo I guess from tomorrow I taper, fast!! I wish I had a few Tempz's, I could do this a lot quicker, sleeping is one of the things I worry about most, along with kicky legs!! I do have Diaz but don't want to rely on them & they don't help me sleep! I will take any help & advice you can give please!! Thomas reciepe I don't think I'd have the 1st clue sad My plan so far is plenty multi vits, extra vit c, Diaz when feeling really rough, plenty water, I also have cal drinks from Dr as I need to put on at least a stone, these are full of goodness too!! Anything I've missed?? I have to do this NOW I can't put it off any longer, would love to be clean & feeling better by the Summer (if only) I agree with getting lost, I'm talking to a few people but keep losing everyone sad Is there no way to get all our convo's onto one thread, I'm talking to about 6 people at the moment, I have to open an e-mail & go to patient comment, I end up with loads of tabs open?? Anyway James, you've found Sezyboo smile Thank you for all the wonderful comments you've written, just hoping I haven't missed any!! xxxx

      Morning freedom yeah I find it hard to follow threads what dose of dizapam you on the yellow 5mg witch are quite weak the blue 10g is what I used 1 or 2 through the day helped massive with the withdrawals then 2 at night to sleep if you are on them and still can't sleep your torlerance must be so high speak to doc before increasing I got prescribed during my fake viral infection sleeping pills zopiclone 7.5mg is a highest dose they come I took about 2 sometimes 3 t knock me out again docs up here are reluctant to give out but I am quite a big bloke they might work better for you than dizapam so this be my last post till am sitting with a glass of Rosie the night think am swapping 1 addiction for another lol today is gonna be a bloody good day lady's come on we can do this xxx

      Agree,new have to find a way to make it one thread... This is a strange set up and I'm missing things.Did you see the lamps?

      Hey James, please come say Hi, I'm worried about you, we all are!!

      Dr's will give me Zopiclone but I don't like them, as for diazapam, I'm taking it easy, I don't have a high tolerance, 20mg easily makes me feel better & sleep, although to be honest my Wd's haven't been bad, no sneezing, no loo problems, nothing really, strange?? I just have this lack of wanting to do anything, staying in house (keeping it tidy etc) I can't wait to be me again....

      Hope to hear from you soon, sending lots of virtual love & hugs, Sarah xxxxx
