So I'm at the point where I'm sad and disappointed in myself to see that I've actually become an addict. I had the same problem with alcohol and was able to quit 24 years ago...but had back surgery and thats when norco was introduced in my life. I really enjoyed the high and pain relief. I also had fibromyalgia and finally got pain relief from that too....well now I've created a monster. I've been taking them since 2008 and am taking a average of 4-5 per day. I want out...what do you two recommend? Are you clean now? Did the tapering work? I'm also concerned about anxiety...will that be an issue?
Thanks for your feedback
