[luvlife10]

Well stupid me started taking the Norco again because I was in so much pain. However its been a month and i'm taking 5/325 2 times a day. I am stopping them today. The first time I went thru withdrawls 6 months ago it was hell will it be like that this time to. I knew what I was getting into but the pain *****.

You will experience rebound pain for awhile once you are off these meds.  Usually it subsides.  Have you tried anything else to manage your pain?

You are so kind I just love the people on this site. Are you taking anything you mentioned You wish you had the strengh to do it that way? I just had just come to a place where enuf was enuf because I wasnt being true to myself or my son. I had issues that I needed to confront, those pills I was taking not just for pain it helped me deal with everyday BS. Now this time it started because I was n so much pain I know what I am going to go thru just I hope because the dosage isnt at all what I used to take the Withdrawls will be alittle easier.

How long where you on the Norco? I posted a comment this morning I thought it would go to all you guys that responded to me but it just went to chaliej41. Well to help with the insomnia at Target they have whats called NiteTime sleep with melotoin now I still woke up every one to two hours but you see these tablets you can take anytime at night and you dont wake up sleepy like other sleep aide, the first 72 hours where the hardest for me by day 5 I felt so much better. Don't be hard on yourself you can do this. These posts really helped me when I was going thru it the first time people are just so caring.

Hang in there it really sounds like you are not on such a high dose but then again I know nothing about Norco though. Either way if you are worried about just jumping off do you have the strength to taper perhaps? Ask your doctor about a tapering schedule where he only gives you some many pills to make it through a week at a time. I wish I had the strength to do it that way but you could have the strength so keep your head up and keep trying you will get there. Have faith! :)

Thank you guys for all your replys really apprieciate it. This morning I threw my back out my knees buckled scared the holly stuff out of me so you know today wont be the day to stop, because I still have go to work, still b a mom, to have to have your child help you get dressed is bad. My history with Norcos and vicodine started back in 08 with multiple ovarian surgeries female issues, but I knew enuf was enuf when I was jus taking it to get through the daily issues sometimes not for pain. I started growing irritated, i had to take more to do the same effect I was taking 10/325 7 times a day. In later March I stopped cold turkey, insomnia, and anxiety no strength but I had to keep moving. I went to my doc and told him and he gave me ativan I took a whole one that day and woke like I had a hangover so I stopped that its just another addiction I read, but I occasionally would take a 1/2 of the ativan because the aniexty would creep up on me for about a month. I know I went wrong when I have people around me who takes the Norco so it was easy to get and I stood strong I knew the pain in the end and I told myself I wouldnt do this again but I hope when I stop its done. You know the funny thing is the dosage I take now does the job for a while but once the pain goes I take an aleve. Just like this morning I took a 5/325 and when I got to work I took 2 aleves. Pain is no joke. You guys are awesome and I hope ALL OF YOU HAVE A GREAT AND BLESSED DAY.

Hi. I just stopped faking the Norco  today. I am.prescribed 10/325 I was taking up to.2 at a time and slowed myself down.to.no more then 3 a day. Yesterday and the day before I only took one. Today I start taking none. I still have a lot of ppain and I am just going to try and deal with it. I can'tt take a lot of meds bcuz I have digestive issues and can't tolerate them. I'm hoping the pain is not as bad as I remember it to be and I can just deal, because I don't want to take these pills anymore. The wd aren't too bad for me right now, but it's only 10:15 AM, and a lot of times I would hold off taking any til around noon or so.. I'm scared I'll fail...

Hi! You said you started taking Norco again because of the pain. Do you still have pain? If so, then you need to make sure that you have an alternative to deal with it, or you may find yourself back in the same situation!

Good luck! Hopefully, the withdrawals won't be too bad! I don't know what you were taking before so I can't say for sure! Follow the Thomas recipe, stay well hydrated, and try to stay active! Best wishes! Keep posting with any questions or if you need support! Take care!

I am not sure what kind of pain you are having, but have you found any alternative ways to manage it besides the norcos?  Good for you for stopping now before your tolerance gets any higher. Lots of water & gatorade will help flush your system out.  You will get through it!
