Hello. I have been taking about 7 norco a day for 3 years now. I am getting married soon so decided it's time to quit! Not just for my wonderful fiance but for myself! I'm tired of having to rely on pills to stay positive and happy! So I started using the tapering method. I started to taper the norco about a week ago and today I am taking about 2 norcos total throughout the day. I'm also using L-Tyrosine, B-6 & B-12, omega 3's, a multi-vitamin, and tramadol. I'm a VERY active person. I work out hard for one hour a day and also compete in Crossfit competitons. I guess I'm just tired of seeing everyone else live their lives so happy being sober. While I'm having to rely on norco to keep my mood happy. So far, the tapering is going well. The L-Tyrosine and tramadol is really helping me slowly cut down the norco. I just wonder if by using the tramadol I'm setting myself up for another disaster. For the W/D I'm taking about 150mg of tramadol throughout the day, 2250mg of L-Tyrosine, and of course slowly tapering down the norco. I know the tramadol CAN be addictive so I'm just wondering if I'm doing the right thing by taking it. I'll do anything to get off the norco! But I don't want to become dependent on something else! It has really helped me to read about everyone elses posts and personal struggles. If anyone out there can give me any advice or just some kind words I would appreciate it so much. Thank you guys for sharing your own stories.
