I’ve chosen the taper method because I’ve still got 90 tablets left and I want to minimise the withdrawals. I’ve been thinking and writing down why I started taking them and why I keep taking them and I now accept all them reasons and I finally feel ready to do this! I’ve done really well today and I feel so motivated and I haven’t craved like I usually do. I’ll normally wake up take 2 tablets and within an hour I need another 2 but today I took 2 when I woke up and it’s now been 4 hours and 20 minutes ???? I really can’t believe it!! This is massive for me! My aim is to only take 4 30mg tablets today so I’m waiting as long as I can and then I’ll take 1 more and I’ll see how things go and if I can manage off 3 I’ll only have 3. I was taking up to 12 a day which doesn’t seem like a lot compared to some of the stories I’ve read on here but I am determined the most I’ll have today is 4 and any less is a bonus. Well done for getting off those horrible drugs and a bigger well done for doing it with 3 kids. My mum is a long term dihydrocodiene user because of her conditions but I really can’t believe there’s not much support out there if you want to come off them. There’s no help from the doctors either. Once I’m off them I’m thinking about going public on social media to maybe help others xx
