Down to one NORCO a day.. just like a vitamin... NOT

[SuzzQ]

Well, all... I am finally down to 1 norco a day...I can't believe 1/4 a norco can make such a drastic difference.  I went through withdrawal from just 1/4 a pill.. or is it that I am still withdrawling from the 8 a day???  It's been weeks since I took that much.  About 3 weeks ago I was down to 4 a day.. Now , all the way down to one.. I was going to jump...  Still, I still cut down even more.  I can't seem to just jump, so I'm actually going to cut down to 3/4 soon as I get used to taking just one..

I sent you a private message...  :o)

Girl you r not alone there are a lot of people out here who r going though this gone though it and will go though it. Your wds won't be to bad. One more thing pls watch the amount of tylenol you take in 24hrs

I agree with someone else that you have to find your own path but at 1 pill a day you may as well just jump off.  Your wd's will probably be mild.  I think it's almost impossible to avoid all wd's.  Seriously, at one you're so close.  Make tomorrow day 1 without any.  You can do it!  Look how well you tapered.  It's something most of us can't do.  JUMP SUZZ JUMP!  Everyone will be here to support you...including me.

yes, I've been taking them for almost 20 years... I think this way is best for me.. get used to not taking them by cutting down so drastically that I finally stop... I am already replacing them with tylenol... when I wanted a piece of one today, I took a tylenol... not that it helped with the pain, but I can handle the pain, I have to say, the pain was way worse when I was taking 8 norcos a day!!!!!!  I couldn't believe it.. when I cut down to 4 a day, the pain was cut way way down....  astonishing!

[SuzzQ]

I only took 2/6 of a pill today.. and it's 4pm.. I went to the pharmacy and got all kinds of different tylenol... tylenol regular strength.. tylenol extra strength.. tylenol pm... lol.. and then some.. so, when I want to take a pill, I can replace it with something.. Just thinking ahead... pretty soon, it will go down to NONE a day.. I got more vitamins.. trying to do it right... I'm sure soon I will be not taking any at all... just replace it with vitamins and tylenol....

Hey girl it is you and only you who can do this. This is why people need to get clean by them selfs. You can't let someone else take the blame or stop you from getting clean. I may have not been on them for 20yrs but I did however wd from 6yrs of norco and methadone at once. This can be done stop holding on and jump. You will not get anything from 1 pill but wasted clean time. You can do this. Bit the bullet and jump it will be ok sweetie

i weaned down to an 1/8 of a norco!!!!  i believe the weaning helped my WD symptoms since they were way less worse than 3 yeas ago...when i quit the first time.  take your one norco for 4 days...giving your body a chance to get used to it the smaller dose.  then go down to 3/4 of a pill for 4 or 5 days, the 1/2, then a 1/4, then an 1/8.

good luck!

Please jump...and please let Sunshine Girl find her own way...it is not fair to put your delay on her.  You alone must go through this...even though we are here to help.  You have Lovemyhorse on hour 22...me on hour 95 and a entire host of others at various stages just waiting to help you.  

And of course...YOU GOT READY!!  The biggest inspiration yet.  It will suck...but it will be over soon.  Trust us...the diff between 0 and 1, is not much at all.  I went from 10 to 0 and am alive...I think...hahaha.  Seriously though...I am getting through it just fine.

We are here for you whatever you decide...

[SuzzQ]

Yes,, thank you... I do realize that... I've just been taking them for so long... near 20 years.. Seems nobody has taken them that long... for me, they are just so easy to get.  I'm going to go to the store and get tylenol.  I'm going down to 3/4 today... doing this fast.. just went down to 1 pill yesterday... but, I can cut down to 3/4... I am mad at the pills and mad at myself... but, if I can get down this far.. well... then... just torturing myself more I guess... can't seem to jump... I was going to when sunshinegrl said she was... but , she bailed on me..
