    I too have hidden it on and off over the years only my husband knows, I think it would shock my friends that I can take the same amount of tablets that others would consider an overdose, I guess that is what got to me again this time.

    I can only blame myself no one forced me, I wish they never gave me the good feeling in the beginning, they just make me feel like crap now . I am tired of being in the never ending circle of them. Would be nice if we go to sleep for 3 days and when we wake up the worst is behind us.

    Yes, I get hot sweats But that could be my age.

    This place is great for support and knowing we are not alone in this journey. X

    I Had been taking at least 30 NF+ a day and just can’t take anymore I feel it hurting my stomach and heart. Had last dose yesterday afternoon followed by a few tramadol last night (my thinking a few of those would cause less harm) . So now I am going cold turkey again i Have warned my husband that things will get rough and I will feel ill. I left work this morning as my stomach already started. I think the only way to get through this is be kind to yourself, hot baths with Epsom salts, hot water bottles, stretching, fresh air , breath and try and take comfort in the fact that this will pass and there is life on the other side.

    I have done this before more than once and always find days 2 and 3 worse, if there is anything else people can recommend I would be grateful.

    I Can’t believe how many people this effects and how little help there is out there, you should be able to get the basic help you just things to lessen the withdrawal effects. When I tried the Dr before he gave me codeine!!

    Good luck to anyone on this journey we can all support each other.
