Hi John
I took a leaf out of Wynters book and read your previous posts on your profile.Do not know why they was not published.
I have forgot most of the posts already sorry,i think you are down too 120mg a day.Thats an amazing start! I would say just do one at a time though, benzos are super nasty to come off so i have been told.
The reason i went back to opiates was pure and simple work.Id had a cple of ops to clean joints out,so once they was healed i trained,built loads of muscle around the joints and after a decent wage i went back to my old trade.I lasted 6 mths before all the pain started again,then had to leave at 9mths due to pain and meds.I had been clean(from dhc) about 3 years since before the ops.That is what scares me the most…”work”.Always been someone who puts a good shift in.Liked the manual work.ect.That has gone now,i have to look at different types of work that i have not a clue about unfortunately. So its a totally new life for me.Scary.
I do not drink or smoke,i used too,13 years dry(3 years since last fall) 10 year smoke free.
I will get there,it is just going to take some time that is all.
i will say this,after tapering the pain meds i do not get half the cravings i used too,where as after doing a CT they were constantly there.Could just be me though.
As for chucking the meds of a cliff you maybe right,atm the more i collect the more i seem to not need.Seems strange does it not.I think you are right though. I am also on several meds,same one as Wynter for the “darkness”. I am looking at getting rid of most of my meds in the future but for now the problem one has been done.
Stay strong troops! ???????? ????????
Wynter,Warby,Sophie Ns and last but not least Danna hope you are all good and still winning!
Speak soon all!
