Hello, I am looking for information regarding fiorinal and codeine. I have been taking for 30 years. For many years, I was able to get extra and was taking from 12 - 14 pills a day, sometimes more. Three years ago I was forced to reduce to 6 pills a day, my prescribed amount, as I could not obtain extra. My doctor has retired and it is now time to find a safe way off of this medication. My current prescribing doctor does not like prescribing this medication. I know what everyone will say. Tell my doctor. I just can’t at this point. I need to try and get off of this on my own. Two weeks ago I reduced to 4 pills a day. It has been hard but not so hard that I cannot do it. What scares me is when I continue to reduce. I have read all of the posts about seizures, etc. I would think that logically, if I cut down by 1 pill each month, that should work. Am I kidding myself? This is very scary. Can anyone offer any advice? Thank you.
