Hi Fran i don't know whose been on my account but I didn't send that long reply someones stole all my details f*** knows how but not happy. I'm not on xanax I bloody wish! Im still on 25 a day and stuck in a rut 
. Howre you? Xx Alex x
Hi Alex x that's awful x i was jealous x ha ha x i'm still the same x been thinking about going to my local drug and alcohol hub to try to come off i maybe with the help of subutex or something x i hate all this worrying about getting my meds x what do you think xx
I would be jelous too if some doctor put them on xanax lol..i am able to get it though from a good guy but they gave me bad dreams ages ago. Hmm as you know it's a hard choice to make. Either tell your doctor about problem with the tabs and have him/her take them away or try and help yourself. I personally wouldnt trust my doctor telling him everything. Trust yourself and if you think you need to you stay on them then thafs not a bad thing. But we need to pull it together with how many we take unfortuantly. It's all up to you and what you want. Xx
I wouldn't tell my dr but she doesn't give them to me x i get them through on line dr x i don't trust my dr as it is and she wouldn't be helpful at all x i'm talking about a drugs rehab place and they won't tell your gp x they have their own drs x i just hate living in the fear of withdrawl if i can't afford any etc x i will pop in to them next week and go through my options x
Ah rite ok i get them online too but also get a script from my dr. I didn't realise theres places where they dont tell your GP i thought they had to be involved. Good for you if you do go there Frances and good luck. I dont know what the hell im gonna do i just can't make up my mind and dont think i ever will. That's what it feels like anyway. I know this sounds bad but I'm so glad im not the only one going through this. Life is such a b itch. I feel that the worrying about when I'm gonna get them is better than knowing my doctors going to take them away. Please let me know if you do go to that rehab place. Xx
Hi everyone. I’m new here 👋 I’ve got the exact same problem.. I am so SO GLAD that I found this forum. So let me start off by saying that at first I was prescribed tramadol capsules (50mg) then the tramadol slow release (100mg) tried to come off of those with GREAT difficulty like even worse than the dhc I wasn’t sleeping when I ran out, restless legs and arms that brought me to tears and caused me and my partner to actually start arguing during the night when I kept tossing and turning. I then went on to be prescribed dhc and the buzz was amazing I was ordering 100 every couple of days and now I am completely out of them as they stopped them and told me to contact my GP. I have one tablet left actually and trying to not panic about going to see the GP who wants me down there for a once over appointment and to discuss the high usage of this s**te that I can’t stop taking. My anxiety is through the roof I’ve not been to work in over a week I’m sleeping all the time and trying to mask up the dhc addiction with co-codomal 8/50mg which the stupid b***h in the chemist told me she wouldn’t sell me again because it’s for 3 day use only. I am worried sick that my doctor is going to Completely stop my prescription. Argh this is a nightmare and my mood is the lowest it has ever been I just hope that I get a good doctor. I haven’t been out of the house in ages now because I tried to taper myself down to a low dose my heart is absolutely pounding and I can’t cope with this I’m in tears right now and my mood is disgusting. Missing out on work and family things because of not having my dhc feeling 
Hi Lesley just read your bit. That sounds really tough and cant believe they started you on the strongest painkiller 2nd from the top of the chain. Yeah i find it helps writing stuff on here. How long have you been on the DHC? How old are you if you dont mind me asking? Life is tough without them isnt it hate going without them like past two days I've been waiting for a 100 off one of the sites i go to because i could've sworn i was waiting for a script off my dr but apparantly ive had a months worth last week lol so it's obvopusly causing my brain some amnesia. I'm actually waiting for some tramadol off a mate too which ive mever had before but heard there great Lol? Sorry sound like a right druggie lol I used to like illegals but now I'm abit older just stick to my script stuff. All i can say is hold on and dont write yourself off just yet things can only get better. I hope you get a good GO too. I would say be jonest but to be honest with you I wouldn't be lol. Only because you can trust them to not take it away you know what i mean? So wait for abit before you trust your doc. Take care. Xx
Hi Fran how you doing? I've had a terrible oast couple of days. I went out Saturday to a birthday party in the red lion pub . I had two drinks and was only out for an hour and a half when I felt really really weird . I was beaten and pushed off the balcony of the pub and got a cracked skull and broken ribs. I had concussion n when I got to hospital they found rohipnol in my blood. Also a girl which i didn't know was also in soton general in a coma who also had alot of rohipnol in her system in the same area i was in. My friend also had two drinks and felt really strange. It's really shaken me up as i hardly ever go out n mever usually put my guard down. I was also robbed too. Wish i never even went out now. I think this is going to make me want to take more pain killers and now I don't see any way out of this rut im in I dunno what else to say really. Just need some advice on what i should do. Hope everything's ok with you and as your in Southampton please be careful if you go out around the bitterne or town area. Xx
Hi i know i havent had qny replies but today i told my counsellor i am addicted to dihydrocodeine. Which was scary to do but i did it. Shss told me to goto mt GP which in half hour ill be tellling him about it too. Im really scared. Im hoping he gives me something for the withdrawl or im just not gonna be able to kick this habit. The dr needs to understand my pain physically and mentally when i dont have these pills. Please wish me luck as i hope this appt will go well. Because if it doesnt ill see through mt eyes that there is no help that the "professionals" can do apart from watch you pain and suffer. So if they dont help me today with my withdrawl..ill never walk in that surgery again. My family dont seem to get it that telling someone is a massive thing. Theyll never understand. I feel like no ome will never understand.
Hi Alex x that's really wierd because last week i went to my local drugs hub and told them the same thing x i have got an assessment on Thurs and i hope they will put me on something that helps with withdrawls too x there is a hub in Eastleigh too x look uo Inclusions and you will find it x they won't let you go cold Turkey x it's dangerous x maybe you should see them before the dr x they won't tell your gp if you don't want them too x give me your number and i will ring you when i can x good luck hun xx
Hi Alex. I am also addicted to DHC. I have been on it for 6 years due to a severe beating which wrecked my back. I have managed to come off it cold turkey. The best way in my opinion, is to reduce slowly. Take it down by one every week. Valium helps and hot baths. It is a horrible drug and very addictive. I managed to get off them, and now I'm back on them plus I'm buying Tramadol. I wish you luck and really hope everything works out for you. There is a lot of people in the same boat. I buy DHC to top up. I ran out this morning and it was hell because I had a dental appointment. Good luck and if you need to talk, I'm here.
Hi fran. Didnt see my usual doctor but she was very very nice about everything and praised me for coming out as an addict. She has sorted a 6 week plan for me and it goes like this...because i take 25 to 30 a day there putting me on 20 a day /10 in morning 10 in evening and thsts for a week. And then the second week it depends on how i am and feel and if the first week goes well theyll put me down too 5 in the morning and 10 in evening and so on so on. I really didnt think id ever do this but i f*****g did and i feel really proud and im sure my dad is looking down at me proud for doing what he unfortuantly couldnt with alcohol. Give me your email or heres mine and we csn email as ky speakers broken on my phone. It's im thinking of goung to N A (narcotics anonymous) but dont know which one to go to. Never go to desbourgh house in eastkeigh i found them rude and just pure S**t. X

Hi cheri thanks for the message. Yeah i just decided whilst soeaking to some one from a place called italk about my addiction. Im hoping i can beat this thing too hun and valium i can get which is annoying because i can also get what ever i want. But ive decided to go to the dr and see if this system of theres really works. Where you from if u dont mind me asking n hiw old? DHC is horrible but satisfying feeling and this couldve been prevented in january if they wouldve just gave me something to calm down whilst i watch my dad die for 9 days...and she said no! So i took more n more and now im here. Ibe been on thrm for 3 years. Never had tramadol but heard its veey good and the way i see it is if your tsking just two 50mg tramadol instead of 20 DHC well thstd less dangerous init. xx
No problem. And that's my problem. I can get anything. Last year I was just taking my normal dose I get from my doctor, then I started taking a lot of painkillers. I don't want to disclose my information anywhere online. I'm in a mess with it all. You wouldn't notice looking at me, but inside I'm a mess. I'm taking far too much. Please stay away from Tramadol, It's got a hell of a grip of me. The withdrawals are horrendous. Sorry about your dad. Thanks for replying. I've been through it all. If I can help in any way,please just message me. Hope everything went went. You have to WANT to get off the DHC,
or it won't work. Good luck
Hi Alex x how did it go at the drs ? Xx
No worries thats smart not giving much info out. Well i do to but we'll have to see wont we yeah thanks i message if i need someone to talk too x

Yes it went well at the drs and she was very nice about it all and said im doing the right thing etc. Its a 6 week orogramme where i will be prescribed 112 tablets a week where ill take 10 in morning then 10 in evening for a week. Then maybe down to 7 in morning and 10 in evening and so om. What do you think about this programme theyve suggested? Im just glad theyve not made me go cold turkey but i suppose thry cant as its dangerous init. I hope i can do this fran.
