Narco Withdrawl Symptoms??????

I had a csection back 02/24/2014 was prescribed 7.25 Narco took 4-5 a day for about 3 weeks....3 weeks later I had IUD put in and it was VERY painful so they gave me 5 mg of Narco I took 2 or 3 a day for about a week...on 04/22/14 I was prescribed 10 mg (90 of them)...I have gone through 80 and its only 05/12/2014....I see something really bad happening if I don't stop now....can anyone tell me by looking and the dosage and quantity if I will have BAD withdrawal?  I just read on here how people have been taking a high dose for many years and I have just been taking what I consider low dosage for a small period of time.  Can anyone relate to this or help me out?

Look, if you're gonna play you have to pay. I've kicked heroin with soboxon in Seattle, pills more than I can count. I love the cocaine campaign as a former restaurant manager and I have smoked my cut of meth and drank/hospitalized with sucide attempts. You're going to hurt; you can substitute taking benzos or tramadol but it's never easy. Being committed, work a program and read "Junkey".

Hi life... As she had a C-section I was congratulating her on the new addition.

Elsa - hopefully all went well.  I spent a couple weeks in a neonatal ICU and it is was the longest time of my life.  All went well though.

Elsa, a new addiction is nothing is not to be congratulated about but coming to this forum for help would be. Now is the time to get control of this and if you took 80 #10 in that short a time your for sure heading on a path that always ends up at the same place which is more pills.

If your worried about withdrawals, cut down on how many your taking to see how you feel and if its something you can deal with, keep cutting down till you have the strength to stop all together. With all the stress that life offers we dont want this added nightmare to be part of the collection.

Hi Elsa.  Congrats on the new addition.  I can only speculate that your wd's wouldn't be bad since it's been only been 2+ months.  I can tell you not to get into the situation Dirty & I have done and be on them 4-8 yrs as the wd's have to be worse.

After 15 surgeries I never got "addicted" but my last surgery started my 4 yr roller coaster ride so please be careful and be done with these things.

some ppl go thru withdrawls as quick as weeks others take  months,  I remember the first time I felt wds after I was cutoff after my broken ankle was healed months after surgery... it seemed bad at the time but If I could have turned back the clock 8 yrs later and took those wds instead of the ones I was feeling 8+ years later I would have in a instant.....just b happy your doing it now and not chasing the dragon so 2 speak for upwards of a decade like plenty of us here today......you will feel much better within a week and if your not abusing them it should be lots easier!!  Withdrawl isn't guna be fun no matter how u look at it but on the low dose you stated you've been consuming, things should be a breeze for ya!!
