Norco withdrawal
I decided to post a bit of my story. I have been taking norco off and on for pain for a couple of years, but last March 2014 I had a hip replacement and I had a rough recovery. I ended up on Norco 7.5 for pain and got to the point where I was taking more than prescribed because I liked the feeling they gave me. I haven't needed them for pain for a few months now. I have been taking 6-8 a day. I have had short periods of withdrawal where I would run out early, but would always refill the script when it was time and start all over again. I could have refilled it again on May 28, but I decided no more. I am sick of being dependent on these pills. I have just completed 24 hours of freedom from norco and I will not go back again. They didn't help that much with the pain, anyway. It is going to be a little tough, I know. I am feeling achy, tired, sick, and antsy right now. It will probably get worse,but I don't care anymore. I am pushing through these wd symptoms and I won't go back. I can't wait to get back to my pre-norco days. I know it will be a long road, but I'm ready. Reading and posting on these boards really helps me stay motivated.

your story is like so many of us that said I cant do this anymore and stopped one way or another just remember that 15 years is a long time and this habit will take everything you have to get off your back so hang in there and by day 7 or so it will start to look much brighter.... and like Tina said one of the great things is go sit outside in the sun and just let go you will find its very comforting...
