day 7 on lope taper

[bluemonkey]

hi
so today is day 7 on my 2nd lope taper off norco. my goal is to get to the point where I can just take pain meds when i have pain not because my body needs it. unfortunately my disability will always make it so there are days when life is barely manageable even with the meds. It has been like that since i was very small. Yes, I admit when I started college I made the huge mistake of thinking this helps with my pain so why not take it everyday and feel good everyday...and so here I am on lope maintenance. Other recovery sites have put me down for not wanting completely off but, from what i have seen people are more supportive/ open minded here.

Hey Bluemonkey.. and welcome to recovery. You can do this. If you are comfortable please share what is going on with your pain as others may have some advice as to things that may help. Also I was a medical marijuana caretaker for many years so I may be able to give you some advice or recommendations on whether or not marijuana therapy could help.

It is often pretty tricky to avoid physical dependence with out taking a descent break.. Have you ever considered methadone dosed for Pain relief (every eight hours).. I received significant pain relief from methadone dosed like this.. far greater than from oxycontin or morphine.

There is allot of good support hear and we keep our minds open. There is a wide variety of people living strong recoveries here...
