I have been trying to ween off these pills & it is so hard. I feel like I am going CRAZY. I have been taking 1 pill every 4 hours & I swear it is so hard not to take 4 @ one time. I have a headache - ear ache -my back hurts - my legs hurt my tummy hurts oh man even my hair hurts, AHHHHHHH! Will this feeling ever end ? I cannot imagine being completely off them. I am sure not everyone has read my posts but I am addicted to Darvocet & my Dr. is helping me ween off them. I really do not think my pills are gonn last til Monday like they are supposed to. Any advice ?
Well, just needed to vent. Thanks to all of you who have had kind & encourageing words.
Hey Ant, hang in there. Today was a bad day I'm sure, but also one day closer to being clean too. I've also tapered in the past, but I had to have someone hold my pills for me. This is such a "disease of the mind" that I just couldn't do it alone. Eventually I just jumped off the taper program and flushed my pills because it was making me an emotional wreck. Believe it or not there is something incredibly freeing when you dump the pills. Do you have someone you can give the pills to? Can you get to a meeting or two or three? You need to step outside of your mind for awhile and stay busy. I know it's lousy right now, but it really does get better! Stay stiong, Jim
Ant........If you were able to control your pill usage like you want, you probably wouldn't have become addicted. It is very hard for all of us addicts to taper. Having someone else hold them is the surest way to make it work.
If you don't see yourself lasting til Monday, this could be the right time to just stop the madness! Drop them in, and push the handle. It takes a lot, and I was never able to do it, but I was really in to suffering.
