Hi I first started taking over the counter paramol 8/500 about 6 years ago.. I was in a very abusive relationship & they made me feel calm.. But have been on co-cod 30/an.. I can't talk to anyone about it & don't want to go to the doctors.. I'm ashamed as we have been trying for a baby & I have Misscarried 3 times.. I'm sure this is because of the tablets but my GP wasn't concerned at all?? I take 3 tablets at a time & around 15 a day.. Today I have taken 3 but normally would have been 6 by this time of the day.. Trying to just stop.. Is this possible? will it hurt me? Need some advice please.. xx 500 for the last 18 months for a shoulder injury which my abusive ex inflicted.. I get 100 tablets from my GP EVERY week without any questions being asked... I have just had surgery on my shoulder.. so it does feel better BUT Cant stop taking pain killers.. even though I'm now married to a lovely man... I don't know what to do. Can i just stop? will it hurt me? I feel shaky already.. But will stop if it's safe?? any advice please.. xxx

Thank you for your reply... I start every day thinking I'm going to stop.!! But recently I'm sure I'm getting Physical symptoms like my eye sight, pains in my stomach.. sweats.. & My moods are very up & down.. Today at 6.30am I took 3 30/500 & normally by now I would have taken 9.. Instead I have taken 5. And I'm going to try and get through the day on the recommended dose of 8 and stick with this for a few days & then try to half it again.. ? If I'm honest I already feel rubbish, clamy shaky & tummy cramps.. Sorry for my jumbled up message earlier.. I've been more concerned in deleting browsing history on my pc.. I feel so ashamed of myself.. Like i said previously It all started trying to escape reality & keep me calm.. But now life is good... Thanks for taking the time to respond :-) x

Hey! Welcome! Relax!! Often times the FEAR of wd's is worse than the actual experience! Wd's do not last forever and they are like a nasty case of the flu. IMO now is definitely the time to get clean if you are trying for a baby! Easier before than after! You can totally quit!! The first few days are roughest but after that you will begin feeling better and better each day!!
