N+ for dummies

[ginap60]

So, I have unfortunately got myself into a predicament, made worse only by the fact that this is round #2 for me. Have been taking 40(ish) N+ every day for what must be almost 4 years. About a year ago I saw a doctor and managed to wean down on codeine tabs which I really didn't stick out for long once I had come off them - maybe a month? I now have to do this again, but probably on my own as i can't imagine going back!
I went to another doctor a while ago (one I didn't know) and got not a lot of help there unfortunately. So I am now just trying to taper off the actual N+ tablets myself - which I have half heartedly been attempting for months!
My stomach is wrecked and I basically suck.
I can't really get time off work so I will have to do it this way and hope I can reallly stick to it.
My partner knew last time but there is no way I can tell him this time.
Ummm...any encouraging words appreciated.
Has anyone succesfuly stopped doing it this way?

You know what will work the best for you.  You wont feel real good but you can get thru this.  Have you thought about any type of recovery care?  Can you buy these pills from a chemist?

So just trying to start on no more that 15tabs (half normal amount) a day for a week, then should go down to ten...I feel like the faster the better though! Dragging it out seems so painful and like I'm more likely to give up and just take a whole bunch!

I am glad you posted.  Tapering needs to be done very slowly.  How much have you come down already?
