Not feeling well-2nd day

Question

Yeah I can't go to sleep at all. It is really hard for me to function without taking vicodin for pain. Can't sleep at all. Pretty much how I was without pain killers. Not sleeping at all staying up 2-3 days at a time...sucks. I might have to go back to vicodin just so I can function.=/

Do you have the remedies for the Thomas Recipe? I was given the advice on this forum to follow this recipe as it will alleviate the pain of withdrawals, I guess you have to have some remedies to help you with the discomfort. You can find it one one of the other pages in this forum.

Hang in there.

As someone else wrote, I, too, can PREOMISE you that within the next 24 - 48 hours you will feel 80 - 95% better. I just did this myself (I went c/t instead of tapering) and buckled my seatbelt and road it our--largely in the shower and on this MB. I know it sucks, though, please don't get me wrong. I am by NO means trying minimize or disregard your actual suffering. But it passes QUICKLY (this is why I didn't taper--seemed like a long verson of w/d every time one steps down BUT tpaering works for MANY--c/t was just the best choice for me). We are here, off and on, all day and will 'be' with you as much as you want and need--no matter what, whether you use or not. This recovery business is a PROCESS not an event and we are 100% HERE for YOU.
Genuine hugs, Jessica

Try either Kava Kava or Valerian Root to help you sleep at night, that is if you arent on some form of aint-depressant/anti-anxiety meds..they dont mix well...Valerian Root works really good for me with the sleep issue, take it an hour before you go to bed and you're good to go, maybe take a little more than recommended, like around 2000mg, works like a charm

Hi, I am new and also on my second day,so far it's been my worst.
I became addicted to Lortab when they were prescibed by my dentist.
I fell in love with the euporhia and well being they gave me. 
Unfortunately for me,I ran into an old friend a few weeks later who
helped feed my addiction from the street. I never took many,2 or 3
a day,but I did it for 4 years and I want to quit. Taking a multivitamin
and drinking water has helped,but I cannot wait to feel like my old self
again. It has been way too long.
