Hey all. I have been using for a little over a year now. Mostly dihydrocodeine(dhc), but also sometimes morphine, oxy, tramadol and codeine. My daily dosages weere about 600-1200mg of dhc, 300-350mg of tramadol and sometimes taking about 120mg of controlled release morphine and sometime 20-40mg of oxy on top of a little lower dosage of DHC. Sometimes I also use 300-1200mg of CWEd codeine made from 500mg paracetamol/30mg codeine tablets mixed with tramadol dhc and whatever.
Everything I get is from a pharmacy and OTC. So I dont really have a doctor or get scripts but every medicine the pharmacies have they also sell.
I have had a few 4-10 day breaks and one 3 week break during the year of using. I also often take about 2 day breaks to try and lower my tolerance.
Now Im on my I dont even know what number try to quit CT since tapering just does not work. Im at about 72 hours in and just took 30mg of codeine just to feel a little better since I feel absolutely powerless and horrible. I also have alot of diazepam, clonidine and zolpidem for WD symptoms and for sleeping.
I guess my question is how much I have set myself back with the 30mg codeine dose? Also a final question is since for the last month or so I have mainly used DHC and its 60mg tablets and they are controlled release(CR). Will CR have an effect on the length of the withdrawals?
Sorry if Im rambling and my text is a little incoherent. Im not a native english speaker and Im having a hard time doing anything in my current condition.
I would also like to add that I dont have a support network really. The only persons who know about my addiction is a friend who lives 12 hour flight away and my brother who knows about my addiction but thinks I have quit and I dont have the guts to tell him I failed with the attempt. He lives very near (in the same building) but I just dont want to admit this to him.
