Hi John

Firstly ill say your story is similar to alot of us here! It is one big battle my friend.I was on remedine forte(codydramol) or similar, then the pharmacy stopped getting them,so the doctor just prescribed 30mg dhc with paracetamol to go with them.

To be honest that suited me, due to the amount of paracetamol i was consuming with the dhc.Also it allowed me to have Ibroprophen with them that helped me more with pain.

I done everything you do or did,including the shop!! Just able to do that on my own now, 5 weeks plus of no dhc. I am seriously getting better, although i am experiencing more pain where i had dhc before.Ibroprophen doesnt help some days,however i have to learn to live with it and adapt, because dhc destroys you,emotionally, physically and every other f***ing way,honestly. As you have probably already read in this thread.Opiates are a living nightmare.

We are all here for you John,we are! The thread started out on someones 18 days free.I never thought i and others would get to there,but we have! This thread helps no end! I have been tempted several times but i would lose 38 days! Not happening no more.Them 38 will grow.

I went my first week free and rewarded myself by taking 3.5 pills,omg i felt so let down,ashamed ect…i started again the next day!

How many mgs you on a day John if you don’t mind me asking? No prob if not!

Good luck on your journey my friend!! ????????????????????
