hey girl,me too.7 years on them,went to psychiatrist last thursday.I tried to wean off but I couldn't do it.they gave me suboxone.
I'm not saying thats for you,though.I've been having weird side effects from sub or w/d.idk
but do it,please.do what they are saying and get a lot of advice.talk to a doctor who may be can help you taper off.I was taking 12-15 lortabs a day.I tried to work but couldn't ,gonna try again.
while you're doing it eat right and drink a lot of fluids.take supplements.good luck,GOD BLESS

As jstntime said w/d is a function of how much you were taking and how long you were taking for. What strength were you taking and how many/per day& how many days a week did you take them? It makes a difference in gauging how bad your w/d will be. I hope you will take the next step and STOP using. We are all here for you.

Hey Jenny,

You BECOME strong enough when you want to be clean more than you want to use.

Your ability to stay clean will be VERY tough working with that many co-workers taking your drug of choice.  

Your wd severity will depend on how many you take as well as how long.  Let us know how many.

Find other stories on here with roughly the same dosage and length of use and you can use it as a measuring stick to see what their wd was like.  It's different for everyone so don't expect it to be exactly the same.

There are lots of people who can help you here,
It's yours if you want it bad enough,

bob
