Been on norco 10/325 4 about 3 yrs

I started takin norco 10/325 4 herniated discs and fibromyalgia bout 3yrs ago. Funny thing is, in the past i have battled and beat heroin and methadone only 2 find myself addicted and taking between 25-30 of these things a day. U think after 3 weeks of cold-turkey meth and a 13 bag a day dope habit, this would be a breeze 4 me 2 kick, yea well it isn't. Im still freakin out and keep tryin 2 cut down. I feel so weak for gettin myself in this position again. Does anyone know of any otc besides benadryl and melatonin that help withdrawls? Since i take so many a day i start withdrawing after 2 hours. any good ideas on how 2 cut down?

Trust me when I say stay away from benzos. If you think opiate withdrawal is bad, then you sure don't want to experience w/d from benzos. Right now you are on a low dose, however, do yourself a favor and taper the Valium after the physical w/ds are over from the opiates. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Good luck!

the coke probably magnified wd symtoms plus 0 chance of sleep.take your vits with b6 to metabulize them.take ahot bath.get emmodium for stomach turmoil.it has mild opiate in it but doesnt cross blood/brain barrier.i think it helped with my rls.take only as needed sorry for late post

I WAS NEVER A BENZO ABUSER.I HAD A FEW XANAX IN THE EARLY STAGE OF DTX THAT HELPED ME SLEEP.I COULDNT TAKE THOSE IN THE DAYTIME,(GAH-GAH LAND.)BUT VALERIAN ROOT WITH MAGNESIUM HAS A CALMING EFFECT.+HOT BATHS AND MY SMOOTH JAZZ CDS  TRY THOSE SUPPLEMENTS AND LET ME KNOW HOW U FEEL.
