I'm starting over again on Monday. I fail miserably everytime I try! No one knows I'm addicted to these cocodomol 30/500 (dr prescribed) I'm also on robaxin and have just learned on Internet that these can be used to withdraw. I will post updates on here everyday to try and stay on track. Last time when I was failing I stopped posting but I know now I will get all the encouragement I need here if I just keep posting...good luck everyone!!

    was ok to begin with terrible runs lol buts thats to be expected I guess. Legs are starting to really ache which is when I would normally reach for the co codamol but so far none at all so determined this time to do it for the last time.

    How are you getting on Hannah?

    Hi Hannah,

    I Started with you this morning I changed my profile name to my real name I used my dogs name to start which was Rosie. So I am the same person as Rosie buy Jo.  Its been a really tough first day today runs, shivers, sneezing and now the real horrible leg pains have kicked in but NO WAY am I going to take anymore of these evil little beasts. Well done on taking just 1 Cocodamol this morning thats a fantastic start.  WE CAN DO THIS. xx

    Hi,

    Well done on sticking with the tapering doesnt matter how slowly you do it or if you need 1 twice a day like you say so much better than 6 to 8 a day. Keep at it you will get through it feels horrible the detox though doesnt it. I think I might be at the cant sleep at night stage now which is awful coz the body is tired but mind will not allow it.

    No sure how you private message on here Hannah but are you on Facebook Messenger maybe we can exchange details x
