Day 19. I’m feeling a little better but my mood has been so sour over the weekend, snapping at loved ones who don’t have a clue what I’m up to isn’t good. Physically I’m feeling OK but had a rotten cold last week, which provided a decent excuse for lying in bed for a couple of days at least.

My taper seems to have worked well enough so if anyone is interested I was on about 24-32 N+ per day and managed to taper down to 8 per day by dropping 10% per week, a few setbacks but this took about 3 months and I stayed like this for a bit, then I went over to the 8/500 co-codomal, taking about 10-12 per day and then slowly tapered down on these until I was taking 6 a day, I tried to go lower but the withdrawals were getting bad. Then just stopped and moved over to normal paracetamol.

Another week, keep on keeping on all.
