Hi Jasmine....
ARE YOU THERE???
Well, I have managed to go to work through all of this. I can't say I am doing a really good job at work but I have been showing up (except for yesterday when I went home)....How many pills are you currently taking? I went from taking 10+ Norcos a day to 5 for two days....then 2 for 2 days....then like 1 then 1/2
then two days of 1/4 pill.....I was really sick for the first 3 days with the flu symptoms....then that HORRIBLE detached foggy feeling in your head up until now...I am on day 12. I haven't had anything in 12 days. I also have kids...
and I haven't been the best mom....haven't been very loving and kind of "short with them".....grouchy too. Lack of proper sleep and not feeling good...my house is a total mess too!!!!! And, the Holidays are coming. I dread them. How sad is that??? I usually love the Holidays. I hope I am better soon...and I hope you can go cold turkey. The internet sites just suck up all of your money for some stupid pills. If I could have all the money I spent on pills..I would be rich.
Take care...If you need more advice please let answer....good luck....you can do it.
I know how you feel - about the holidays, kids, etc. Also all the money that I've spent. I know that this Christmas wont be as extravagent as previous ones. But, I'm sure I'll be a WAY better mom off the pills. That would be the best Christmas gift for everyone all around. Of course, I do feel guilty - seems like I feel guilty about EVERYTHING these days.
I was taking sometimes 15 pills a day (10mg perc). Now I cut that in half and have been lowering by one each day until I get down to one then 1/2, etc. At times I just feel like saying the heck with this crap and dumping what I have and going c/t. I'm just worried about that BIG shock to my system. I figured it would be easier on my body to try to taper and have been sticking to it, since I dont have the pills with me. Believe me, they would have already been gone. Thanks so much for your support. You stay strong. Dont feel bad- I've noticed that I have been "short" with my kids too and dont feel like doing anything much around the house. But dont worry, the mess will still be there when we're feeling better!!:o)

I am so glad there are other moms out there like me....some days I look around and wonder if certain people are on pills. It's so sick.
