Another Day

[jusmejen]

Wow another day and all i can think about is next friday. The day that this taper comes to an end. Still very scared. I  cant seem to think aboit anythng else. I read all these posts about what others are going through, and it really scares me. But also wishes i was brave and courageious enough to just do it. I cant think of anything else. Except the fact that i can predict the future and tell you that as of next Friday i will be taking my last pill, and will spend the following however many days, being very sick, and wanting to throw myself in front of a bus. Wow i am scared and counting down the hours.Have a great night everyone. To all of you who are going through withdrawl right now.......in a strange kinda way....... i wish i were brave like you! Way to go, and continue your fight, i will forsure be joinning you on friday.

HI........dont fear the withdrawals embrace them it is the begging to the end........there always worst in our minds then in reality so try not to let fear into the equation go into this with a sin sin attitude in 4 days you wont be chained to a pill bottle anny more as for coming offf 600mg of codeine your tapering it wont be as much by friday and we have had members come off of more just look at it like ketching the flu for 4 days you will make it threw and will be here to support you this is doable 600mg of codeine is going to kill you if you dont stop
keep posting for support good luck and God bless.......Gnarly

I guess we can't give advice on how to taper.  I think you can talk about what you are doing.  I know I did in detail.  This is a great forum and lots of people can give you advice.  There will be alot more people coming on here who have more experience and great suggestions so keep posting.

Really~ i had no idea we were not allowed to talk about that. But ok.
All the best to you, glad to hear you are feeling better.

I am feeling much better right now. I think you can definitely do this.  If you have the time to taper down slowy, do it.  We aren't allowed to discuss taper plans on this forum and I really don't have experience with a good one.  If you stick with the codeine and have lots of time then you should be okay.  Don't be afraid.  The fear is the worst part of it.

Tapering for just a couple days. From mostly codiene. Have also taken percs, oxys when codiene wasnt available. Presently taking about 600 mg daily. Want so bad to stop. How are you making out?

I am on day 3 of withdrawing from percocets, oxy, and anything else that I could get when I couldn't find my drug of choice.  I know the fear. How long have you been tapering?  What are you taking?
