Losing ground

[Longwaytogo]

Please will someone help me?  My dr. of more than 20yrs wouldn't take or return my calls  so I've been detoxing on my own. I've tapered off 100mcg of the fentanyl patch since 15 jan. (My b'day) . It was pretty quick as I just kept cutting the patches in half and was only on it @ 6 yrs. I also had 16 60mg oxycodone / day and 16-20 10/325 norco/ day to keep me steady. 15 mar. I was oxy free also 6 yrs on. My biggest challenge comes w/ the norco. I've been on codeine since I was 19. More than 40 yrs. hard saying goodbye to a very old friend. But I am determined.
Now at down to last 4 norco/day and I seem to be stuck. A kind of holding pattern these last ten days. Afraid to jump just yet but not sure how to decrease. Cut in half ? miss a dose? Which dose? Life keeps happening and I'm just so tired, scared, and lost , twisted in knots.  Can someone please help me find my way again?

first of all I would threaten patient abandonment after 20 yrs.  why won't he take your calls??  were you on all that medication at one time, everyday???  it is amazing that you have done as well as you have.  we cannot give tapering advice here, but if you cannot find another dr you could go to the er and tell them your situation and they can advise you
