Anyone interested?
I need someone to go through this with me...anyone interested? I have tried on my own and just cant do it. I'm down to 1-1.5 pills a day and just cant seem to get over that hump. If there is anohter out there in the same position I would love the help.
I think it is easier to have another to hold me accountable and vice-versa. My wife tries to help but she just does not understand how difficult this is.
Please let me know. I WANT MY LIFE BACK!

Im in the same boat. I only take 3 5mg a day. it ridiculous. so scared of full withdrawal it has to be totally mental now. I never thought i was going to get past the five mark. it took over a month to make it finally to three.......this is the hardest part for me to....I am just gonna keep going till i get the courage to stop. gonna just listen to my body. it will happen. as long as I don't go up just gonna continue. I have a surgery coming up so I know I am going to be on meds. so I want to keep my tolerance low and let my mind adjust slowly........working well so far. You will make the leap when your ready. I don't want to completely stop and in a month or two start up again after the surgery. when do you take your pills. at one time or throughout the day?
if you are down to 1-1.5 pills a day it has become a mental game. your body has done a great job accepting little of the drug and will continue to improve each day. I went through what you are going through...taking just 1 or 2 norco each day and felt fine. It was mostly medicating myself mentally rather than taking it any legit reasons, because, simply quitting all together is not far off and would make much more sense than dilly dallying around with 2 pills a day.
I am now on day 3 of no pills and my body feels %70 normal. Much better than I expected. My psyche and mental state is about %50 there. I just "want" pills, i do not need them. I think that is the realization you have to come to. At such a low dose you have to make that leap. there isn't much more to do. If you would like to, maybe take 2 pills today, one tomorrow, skip a day or two, take another pill, skip a few days, take a pill and then quit. On the days you don't take a pill try and do something fun. challenge yourself, excercise. push yourself and do things that only the pills would allow. this will help you believe that it isn't the pills allowing you to have a full life but only yourself.
good luck
