DHC - Trying to taper off, but this leads to return of pre-cycle symptoms

[7ca5p]

Hi all.

I am trying to cut down on my DHC usage, the doctors have not recommended it, but I want to stop for myself. It has been 6 months of every single day usage, and I am sick of tolerance building up, and can foresee things getting worse down the line.

I have reduced intake from 120mg daily to 30mg daily, however, this obviously means the symptoms I had before I started taking them return.

I have got appointments coming up to try and treat the underlying cause, but this may take some time.

I guess I am after some advice from people who have experience with DHC.

The thing they were prescribed for is a stomach condition that is currently undergoing diagnosis. DHC has served me well in stopping the sharp pain in my bowels/colon, but it also helped in binding me up so to speak, essentially putting an end to the constant diarrhoea which I experience every single day bar none when I don't take medication for it (and have done for over two years before I even knew what DHC was.)

Essentially, I want to stop DHC usage, but this makes the symptoms return, any suggestions?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks.

Any advice on just general opiate withdrawal? Nothing?

Hey mate,I'm not an expert in the field of opiate w/dz, but I have took a little liking to DHC , codeine, Tramadol , for a while using it a bit recreational rather than what it's for, what I can say is valium and zolpidem work wonders.

Edit: If ur not a benzo addict and u can aqquire these just do it short term , benzo addiction is a whole nother story , u don't want to swap 1 for the other.
