Hi all,i have been prescribed 30mg dihydrocodeine for about 5 years now(shoulder arthritis)

At my worst i was taking 360mg a day(only prescribed 240) so you can imagine all the nonsense that goes with that.

I am now on 22 days clean from dhc,i tapered down to one! Yet i still have major issues with anxiety motivation ect.Even tapering was super hard,i remember thinking I’ll never get to 18 days! I didnt have the flu but was still poorly for the first week.Its just the depression does me…i have loads of pills but will not take another.I done a week then rewarded myself by taking 4! My goodness…the horrors after that sealed it for me! Started again determined more than ever! Day 22 now! Reading these posts have helped loads! You can do this!! YOU CAN!!

Many thanks to all who have shared their stories ????
