Hi, I am new to the board but havelurked for a while. First let me say this is a great and supportive board.

Now I come to the board with a problem with Norco 10mg. I take about 11 a day, and now detoxing from them. I used for about 2 years and am sick of the control they have over me. But I am very scared as to the hell I am about to go thru. I have read enough on the board and got me on a Catapress patch. I also got ahold of some Librium that my grandmoter had in her cabinet. I have something for my stomach, so now it is wait and see what happens. I am very scared and have no one to help me. I am off work until Monday so I just want to get it over with. I know I will have to do it sooner or later. I have a great job and great family, but pills have taken over my life. It is good to see I am not alone. I taken the last of my pills early this morning, around 5am pacific time. If I dont take some I start to feel it about 8 hours from my last dose. The good thing is I have no more and no way to get them. So it is sink or swim. Sorry this is a long post, it feels good to let this out and how scared I am of the w/d's. I hope I cam come here to let off steam or support if I need to. Thanks for reading

HI there,
What is your name? I am taking the last of mine today around 5 pm ESt and will be going through the withdraws this weekend. Hang in there and I will write back some more...have got to go to my 6 year old daughter's parent teacher conference..not in the mood..very depressed. I do have a script for Suboxone which is to help with the withdraws and cravings. Keep checking this board as I intend to be on it quite a bit for the support and guidance and I will be here for you too. ok?

My name is Becky. I have been using the Norco not for any purpose other than to get high. Now, all they do is control my life. But I am scared on the physical part of the w/d. I feel decent right now, and am going to get something to eat now while I feel okay...but I just wnat the nightmare to end.

Becky-

You said sink or swim?

I say swim!! Sounds like you have yourself prepared for the process pretty well. If you can get somthing for sleep, I think that will be a big plus.

There are alot of nice people here, and lot of them have very good information which they will share with you. They are also good listeners if you just need to vent & feel supported.

I sure that this board is the main reason the I am RESOLVED to get clean.

Take a bow, you people are great!
