I'm finally ready to quit norcos

[Vermomma]

I've been taking norco 10/325 for a little over 4 years now. It started with back pain after my first C-section and then for neck spasms. I became addicted about two years ago when I went from taking one a day to 4-6 a day. I feel like i always want that relaxed feeling no matter the time of day. I take two in the morning to feel like I'm not a zombie. Then j immediately want more within two hours. It's a constant battle to try and limit myself because I'm only prescribed three a day. It's taken over my life and my kids deserve better than this ruling me. I'm super ashamed so I have to do this on My own. I've gone cold turkey before and it's the worst feeling in the world. I can't seem to force myself to stick to a tapering schedule. I'm so ashamed. Any help is appreciated.

Hey Momma I understand exactly what you're saying and feeling. Tomorrow I'm beginning my journey since I'm sick of adding more days, weeks, and months of abuse. Don't be ashamed we've all been there (or here). I'm trying to look at it as a chance to reinvent myself. But what do I know. I'm going c/t and if you're ready I applaud you, if not I don't judge you. Maybe we can support each other along the way. Whatever you choose to do hang around and I'll do the same.

Hi and welcome~

You dont have to be ashamed here as we know what you are going thru.  Are you getting these from your doctor?  If you are can you talk to him/her and tell them this has gotten to be a problem?  Cutting our ties is very important.  Do you have anyone close to you that you could confide in?
