Stopping opioids after 25 years

I stopped taking 6 pain scripts for 25 yrs to one Fioricet every 6 hours it’s been 8months but I still have cravings how long before they stop?

  1. That's an incredible accomplishment going from 6 pain scripts for 25 years down to one Fioricet every six hours! Eight months is a huge milestone, and it's completely understandable to still experience cravings.

    Cravings are a tricky part of this journey, and how long they last is unique for everyone. They can sometimes linger for a while, even after the physical withdrawal passes. Please keep us updated on how you're managing and stay well! -Jessica, Team Member
