Support weaning off of MAJOR ammounts of meds
10 Percs, 12 Vicoprofen, and 4 Soma a day. Need I saw more. By the end of this month I will be down to 7 Percs, NO Vicoprofen and 3 Soma. I am scared to death and ready for any and all support to help this be easier. I have three babies under 6 to care for. Please help!!!
I am switching forums because I think I upset someone here with a question. (my post was moved)
Just wanted to tell all of you thank you so much for all your support. I will check back from time to time.
Good luck to all of you!

Yes I did tell him and he is not dumb. He see's me and asks me what I am taking and when. I feel like it helps to be able to tell him at night "I only took one vicoprofen today". He is proud of me but we have not had any long conversations about it. I think he just wants me to get better. I remind him not to expect the worst out of me or the old me because I am changing in a lot of ways right now. If he can expect me to get off and expect me to get better with handling life than I can!
I always took as perscribed. Took at the most 2 Percs, 1 Vico, and 1 Soma at a time. I never took more than one Soma at a time because they scare me.
Thanks so much for posting. You guys are getting me through this. I have a doc visit on the 20th. I am nervous for what is next for weaning.

your doing awesome! Did you ever come clean completely to your spouse?
at one point I could take 30 soma a day. 8 at a time. my stepdad OD'd and died 2 years ago on soma and darvon. I was also on Norco and quit cold turkey 8 days ago, on bad pain days I could take 4 at a time every 4 hrs. not only do I feel better but my pain is GONE. it's so crazy I almost can't believe it.
my husband said it perfectly when he said he didn't love the person i'd become while on the meds. When my mom asked if he still loved me he said he loved the me that wasn't on meds......now that I'm clean even though it's only just past a week for the norco and about 41 days for the soma (and technically 8 days from ambien) he and I are getting along alot better. but I had to come clean to him and tell him how much I was actually taking.

Made it down to 1 vocoprofen 7 Percs and 3 soma and doing great. Starting to feel like myself again. Or someone that is a much better person than I have been the last couple years.
On day seven and it is just getting harder!!! I will not give up, not that I have that choice anyway. I am still at 7 Percs, 6 Vicoprofen, and 3 Soma. Today my anxiety was so bad that I was screaming at my children. I hate myself for that. I am a bit better this afternoon but my husband left town today and will be gone till Wednesday. I go into surgery on Thursday which is NOT going to help things. I need as much support as I can get here today. Please help!
UHHGGGGG having a hard time tonight again. Why are nights so bad. Oh yah cause the pills are gone. Maybe I should have just gone cold turkey. Really hard not to take them when I have 300 pills upstairs. But I won't? Took 8 Percs, 6 Vicaprofen, and 3 Soma today. Can I make it? Need some support!!!
