I have been on Norco for 10 years and realize it is a huge problem. I have known for years but don't know how to stop. I have a 5 yr old and 3 yr old and feel as thought they are being robed of their mother. I ran out as usual 6 days until my next doctor appointment and have been drinking whisky to cope with withdraws i don't know if its helping but i know I'm miserable and this is a vicious cycle. I wish i had advice for you but looks like we are in the same boat. :(

How many days have you been out? You are probably thru the worst of the physical withdrawals. Don't get any more. You are detoxed this far, why start up again?

Welcome to both of you. I think I had tried every which way to quit on my own. Tapering never worked. As long as I had the pills, I took them all. I became a raging maniac when I ran out scrambling to find anything to ease the withdrawals. I even went into rehab for 4 days so they could medicate me until my prescription was due. When I got out and got my script, the insanity just continued. It became exhausting after many many years. No matter what I tried, I failed. I finally went to an NA meeting. There were so many others who knew what I was going through. They told me to keep coming back. And I did. They told me to call someone when I thought about using. It wasn't easy but the more I listened to what worked for them, it started to work for me. I had to get honest with my doctors. At that time I had many. Got honest with the pharmacists. Had to stay away from other who had the drugs I wanted. And I kept going back to the meetings. Pretty soon days turned to months and months to years. The day came when thinking about the drugs was lifted. Please stop now. It only gets worse.

I was on opana ER 30 mg twice a day plus Vicdin 10 mg five times a day - I have tapered down to just Opanaopana IR 1.25 every six hours (5 mg a day) It was really hard some days - mostly so lethargic! But I did it over three months. Getting close to zero. Will I have terrible withdrawals?

Hello! I can relate with the exception that I need to get off Methadone because I became pregnant while taking Percocet (for Fibromyalgia). My doc wants me back on pain medication BUT there is a somewhat better alternative than taking pills for pain. He told me about either a once a week Vicodin patch or strips that you can only get once a week. It'd be a pain in the a** but if it's going to help me live a normal life and be able to be there for my child,my family,friends..just overall get my life back!! Talk to your doc about the Patch because then you won't over take yet still have pain relief. It feels crappy. I know. I totally relate more than you know. It's hard. This I also know. Suzanne
