<p style=”text-align: center;”>Hi Wynter! Really sorry too hear about your anxiety.Mine is the same in all honesty.I wake up in the morning an its there already,i have to keep telling myself it will get better in time,it is horrendous is it not.We just have to keep battling,we really do Wynter.I know how hard that is i really do.I have always had anxiety of some description, i just never knew what it was for a long long time.So i suppose it was always going to rare up.</p>
Thoughts are with you and hope you start to get some relief soon.Take care of yourself Wynter!

Hi all
5 weeks Kittycat, wow that has gone quick! Like you say,wish the first week was the same! You will stay have “meh” days but try and treat them as just that!
Everyone is doing so well, achieving everything you have set out to do! Amazing work,really it is! It does give me a lift seeing people come through the otherside Never forget its a war not a battle.They had us once,i can guarantee they will try again!
Summerwinds, you know yourself and how much you can cope with.The pregablin will help with alot of the symptoms apparently. Restless legs, anxiety ect from what i have just read.Just go easy on yourself.
Blockwarrior are you ok,how is your journey going,hope all is well ????
Have a good rest of the weekend troops and stay strong all!

Hi Tramadol
So glad you have made it through! You really have done amazing! Well done!! ???? ????
Stay strong my friend!
Am soo pleased people can see the tricks they try to play too! You may think it is worth it,for a second or 2,but like Tramadol says it really is not!
Awesome! Stay strong man ????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hi Winewicket
All the things you mention are completely normal unfortunately. Our bodies take awhile to start working properly again without codiene. Codiene or any opiate rewires our brains slightly.
You should start to have some normal feelings sometime soon.
I think it was Wynter whose doctor said the timeline is anything up till 6 weeks is normal.So all your symptoms are completely normal.I still had tummy troubles at 6-7 weeks. 2 weeks is awesome though,you have done soo well,you really have! You should start to settle down over the next cple of weeks.
Stay strong my friend!!

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Hi all!</p>
<p style=”text-align: left;”>I hope this finds you in a little better place.</p>
You are doing so well,all of you.Summerwinds becareful of dropping by more,i think your body is using up what is stored in the fat in your liver.I read that somewhere. You are doing so well,i wouldnt want you falling because you have gone too quick. That is a huge amount to cut out in 5 days,in my eyes you should be well in the throws of withdrawal,however we are all different,so do what works for you! I doff my cap to your effort,well done!!
Lola nearly on a week, i bet you never thought you would get here! Amazing job! So pleased you are able to eat a little and get a little sleep.Smashing it!
Kittycat good luck on the rest of your journey, stay strong and never forget how DECEIVING the pills can be! They try and grab you when you least expect it.
I have had a bad few days pain wise,and wanted the relief,however i stuck with the big pink Ibroprophen and that helped a little.I really did start to think its been ages now,they won’t affect me.I stayed strong,i do not know where the strength came from,but i am glad it did.
Speak soon all,thinking of you all and sending positive vibes to you to help the weekend!
Stay strong troops! ????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hi all
Jist popping in to see how you are all doing.
Everyone seems to be okay an d continuing the battle.
Well done guys!! Seriously well done.
Summerwinds,i tapered from 12 dhc,2 dropped per week untill i was on 6 then 1 a week.
I still had withdrawals though.Even went from 1 to none.The cravings were nowhere near as bad as when i had previously done CT though.
All of you give inspiration to each other who are scared to start the journey, so remember you will always be helping someone when you post,even if you feel it is negative,get it typed out.
Hope you all have as good a day as possible,thoughts are with you all!
Stay strong all ????????????????????????????????????????????????
W’hey Blockwarrior! 2 weeks down,well done that person ????
I am so glad you managed to get some sleep! The very next day after your last post! Wow i bet that felt good.Like you say it doesnt half make a difference knowing we have slept.I hope the mental side of things go ok,i am sure they will.Just remember the tricks they play and you will be bombproof!
The cravings will lessen aswel in time.YOU got this ????
Stay strong ????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hi all! Welcome Summerwinds.
First of all,please do not be sorry for finding the group! As Kittycat said,it could be the best thing you have done.You are in the right place for support and encouragement. Everyone is really caring and will help you with your journey.I found tapering easier however many prefer it to be over an done with a CT.
Lola another day on your calendar! These next cple of days will be hard,but you HAVE got this, you have done the start which is just as important as continuing to be free of dhc.You have to want to come off of these tablets,so making that decision is just as important. You have done so well,you really have,keep striking off the days and you will be free in notime.Seriously you should be proud!
It ss nice to hear you have had a good night Kittycat, and that your motivation is returning!
Try have a good day all,thoughts and prayers are with you!
Stay strong troops ????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hi all! Welcome lola.Day 3 through 6 is going to be hard,so stay strong,things 100% will get better.You will turn that corner! The amount of people who come through via this site is pretty hard to believe,but it definitely does help!! Just getting how you are feeling out and across helps.Good luck on your journey!
Access, kittycat absolutely smashing things! I had a similar mindset when i got above 4 weeks.I really had to work it out the other day,as i had forgot.
It is one helluva journey,somedays i do still crave,but definitely for pain reasons,but they could be trying to trick me still,i do not know,so i will keep on the Ibroprophen i think!
Stay strong all,nearly another day done ????
????????????????????????????????????????????????
Well done that man!! Over the worst now Tramadol, only the headwork left,just stay strong my friend.I use phenergan too.
Do not let them back in ????
All the best man
????????????????????????????????????????????????
Whey!! We knew you could do it! What an achievement ???? ????????
All you require to do now is stay strong!!
Seriously well done Kittycat!
????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hi Access
Yes you are right it does seem that way.One step forward two back.Completly normal though our brains work with the opiate for soo long.
Nice to get it off your chest too!!
Have a fab weekend man ????
????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hi all!
It’s great too hear you are slowly getting back to some sort of normality. Seems 2 minutes ago you both started your journey.More or less a month in now! What an achievement! You all should give yourselves a good pat on the back.
As Access says though be aware.
It always seems as though i put abit of negativity in my posts,i do not mean too,i just really know how this substance rewires our brains and tries to trick us into taking them again.
I still think about them regularly, i think it is definitely their painkilling properties, but still there all the same.
Blockwarrior i hope you are doing ok and continuing your jouney,and sleep is not far away for you.It will come honestly.
Stay strong troops and try and have a good weekend.

Hi all!
Blockwarrior,you are not on your own believe me,with the anxiety side of things with dhc.I think a fair few of us realised after first taking the tablets it helped with anxiety, so that will lead us into a whole new set of problems. Does that make sense? Probalby not worded correctly. Day 10 i think you still may have a little while to go, but stay strong because in all honesty more sleep maybe just around the corner. The void will be filled in time with something better than pills ????
Access, i think you have smashed it given how long you have been on them! Be just like the alcohol soon,a thing of the past!
Stay strong all
