Hi. I hope that you or someone else gets this message. Today, I decided that enough was enough in taking Norco. I have been on Norco for about nine years. I have never taken more than three a day.
I have come to recognize that my body is trying to tell me that it needs more and more because of how it is responding to me, and so I feed it...
I feel better, then all is well, until my body screams with aches, very bad migraines, sneezing (I am not a sneezer, until now) and with the false sense of well being, then that goes away and I find myself in a depression.
So today, I decided that I would taper myself off these things.
I was a medical field technician way before I ever had this problem and know from my background that it is better to taper off, if at all possible, because sometimes, and not with all people, the withdraws can be more awful. There are many who do go cold turkey, and have no more side effects. However, in the long run, somewhere down the road, as your body ages, these things can come back to kick you health wise.
Anyways, today, I have taken just one pill at 4:50pm 7/31/2013.
Any support anyone can give me, as I go through this, would be great.
Thank you.
