i have tried several times to quit and tried the tapering thing this time and it does not make a diffrence at all, your just prolonging the detox. do what you can to get whatever can now and set yourself up to be laid up for awhile. and please know that you can this. last week i thought i was going to die so i downed a bottle of cough med and took a mouthful of flexeril, i just wanted to get loaded and go to sleep, i ended up being taken by amb to er and spent the night and had to drink the charcol ****. i would hate to see anyone else go thru this. you can do it!! we are here to help you.

i only have 7 pills left.  are withdrawal symtoms easier if you tapper?  in going 17 hours without a pill i never really felt much withdrawal, just got out of bed in pain so i took one, took a total of 4 today.

Thats because they are what is the only reality you know any more every one is scared I know I am still afraid I wont make it. i havnt taken pills in 4 yrs if I had them I would eat the hell out of them isnt that sad? you have revolved your life around them for years all you can do is try! lots of support here!
